Service with a smile...and all sorts of other nonsense!

Oh look...it's service with a smile this morning!

I like to think that this is me, going about all my wifely duties and loving every minute of it!

LOL ;-)

You see, I had this idea!

I wanted to use my vintage buckles,vintage fabric pieces etc etc... so I made these little boards.

Their function?

A place all those little business cards, swatches of fabric and any other useful bits and pieces.

And this 'housewife' fabric makes me hoot!

I'll take them with me to the Liverton Country Fair on Saturday.
If you are near enough, do come and say hello to Amanda and me!
It starts at midday.


We'll both be taking loads of vintage and hand made goodies.




Ah now this chair!
A couple of weeks ago, it suddenly appeared in my hall!
It's huge!
It belonged to Mr S's late father.
Obviously, being respectful, I didn't want to grab it there and then... and 'alter it'

But then I was told that I could!

I didn't have much in the way of paint left in my store..only some F&B 'Hound Lemon' and F&B 'Breakfast Room Green'





Neither were quite right and so you know what I did?.... I mixed them!

Amazingly, what resulted was a kind of 'Apple Green' colour.

It makes a great place for displaying things, for blogging purposes!

And finally...50's, bakelite and my recent ebay find....I can't believe that noone else bid! ;-)

It's a teapot stand...and it arrived yesterday, to the sound of 'OMG, Sal ,what the heck is this?'

Well I like it..and that's all that matters!

Keep smiling!
