A lovely week!!

Well this i s my second post this week despite the fact that i have been really busy on the thrifting and makeover front. Will post pics of thrifting finds soon but first wanted to share these makeover projects with you all.

The folding stools were from ebay a bargain at 99p! The bar stools were another thrifty find at £3 for the pair from the car boot sale. A lick of paint and some scrummy fabric later......

Am really pleased with how they have turned out, didnt take that long either. Just got to get on with the dresser now!

Also today i received my order from Laura Ashley. These lovely gorgeous baskets to hold my fabric stash.

Have a good weekend and enjoy whatever you do. x

Long time no post!!!

I have been totally slack on the blog front these past few weeks. So very busy and so little time.

I have however been lucky to find some real treasures whilst out thrifting.

Some of which are in the photo above, the rest will be posted when i have a little more time.

As for the rest of my week i have a work in progress. My dresser. Its the third one that i have had, last 2 were sold to fund various purchases!! Im currently sanding this and have the undercoat and paint ready. As a great fan of Farrow and Ball's Dimnity, i intended to use that again but homebase had sold out, so i am using Lime White. Hopefully will get the desired effect!! Am going to line the inside this time with Laura Ashley pink and white polka dot wallpaper. So i had better get on. Will post the 'after' shots a soon as paint has dried!!

Happy thrifting x

The thrifting angel has paid us a visit!!!

Well, after a terrible few days in which we have been plagued with sickness and tummy bugs, we decided to venture to the local carboot for a spot of bargain hunting. We were not disappointed!

The thrifting angel has definitely blessed us today!!

Here are some of our finds!

Brand new storage tins (very Cathesque!), perfect for the caravan. But also perfect for my kitchen. Descisions, decisions.

Various vintage childrens books, just love looking at the illustrations, Fin has also shown a keen interest in these so will be spending many happy hours reading them to him.

Linda Barker book, great for shabby inspiration.

4 Snowflake Pyrex large plates. You can never have enough!

Vintage pyrex dish, just because!

Very old cook book. For a bit of old school kitchen delights.

A J & G Meakin Glamour gravy boat. Needs a cycle in the dishwasher but delightful nevertheless.

And how much did these treasures set me back. Less than £11 for everything!!

A perfect thrifting day.

For you Mammar

1 gorgeous, fantastically shabby vintage quilt. For the outrageous price of £1.

Some people however, mentioning no names (you know who you are!!!), have no appreciation whatsoever for this gorgeous piece of history. So im going to give it to you mammar Ness as i know you have always wanted one. So now freshly laundered and plumped, its yours. Enjoy. x x x x

Today we are here

This postcard sums up today. So much dust so little time!
