Tad-Dah the drawers reveal

Tad-Dah The drawers

Here are the drawers with two coats of paint, Farrow and bBall Dimity.  The castors and the handles cleaned of paint. Who paints things without taking the handles off ?.

I wont use this particular paint again I really don't like it, I much prefer a chalk paint but that was all I had in.

I needed a new lamp shade as the the one I did a few years ago was looking a little tatty. So I took two napkins a little glue and Tad-dah 

Then I had to nip out and look what I found on the road. It even has it's original Bakelite handles. I have just given it it's first coat of Farrow and Balls Dimity.

Royal Albert

Here is the dinner set in situe

We went off to the Christmas fair yesterday. My eldest daughter Jade got a 50 piece royal Albert country roses  dinner service for £10.00.

I won these on the tombola

And I had to buy this cushion.



These Christmas plates and this Christmas dish.

I think we did quite well really. What do you think?

Thrifting and a gift!

I got some lovely buttons today hand painted they look really old, a big bag of wool that I started to try and make granny squares with. My dear friend Michelle said she saw this book and thought of me thank you Michele I know Michelle will never read this because computers scare her, but who knows maybe one day.
