Gourmet Dinner in your home with Chef Gilbert
Meal for 6 in your home by gourmet Chef Dennis Gilbert
This chaise takes its inspiration from furniture designs created by European architects in the 1920s and ‘30s. Taking their cue from Alvar Aalto, Thos. Moser replaced tubular steel with the warmth of natural cherry and mortise-and-tenon joinery. The sinuous cherry frame supports a webbed back, upholstered in full-grain leather. A removable headrest provides additional comfort, if desired. The two-position chaise reclines fully without any handles or gadgets. Simply lean back and let gravity do the rest. The winning bidder will be able to customize their very own chair with a choice of 36 different leathers, making it a perfect fit for any home.

Winter Getaway at Moosehead Lake
Spend December 21-28, 2014 snuggled in at Moosehead Cottage Resort. Includes indoor pool and lift tickets to Big Squaw Mountain. Cabin sleeps six.
I loved my stay, it was so quiet and peaceful. I took up several books, and read them all while lounging in an easy chair with glass of red wine and my feet being kept toasty warm by the gas fireplace! The pool at the clubhouse was great. Really fun to swim and look out the floor to ceiling windows at the snow falling. I rented videos to watch at night (a RedBox Kiosk is right down the road) and ate out about half the time…good winter food to be had at local restaurants! - Frank Douglass, WEX
