"i love you like ray loved charles"... i say this to stephen all the time. i think he has been dreaming about a fiberglass rocker since we studied at cranbrook (where ray and charles met). this week, while i was out of town, this chair and a small note (with the same message) surprised him at work.
in may of 1941, charles eames sent this letter to ray kaiser, asking her to marry him (on cranbrook stationary). the letter can be found in this book: "an eames primer".
What a wonderful gift! :)

This caused this design-nerd to get all teary eyed.

Seriously, you need to make valentine cards that say this.
