My old new dresser!!

For eight years this dresser (which was dark oak) has stood in our car port, all alone and unloved! ;-)

I've often thought about painting it but have never actually got around to it.

However...

Lately, we've had a lot of rotten weather here and so yesterday, whilst it was pouring with rain, I dragged the dresser out into my lovely little undercover/shabby area...and hey presto!

If I decide to do something, I get it done! No faffing around! The faffing comes later!

I decided on F&B Lulworth and F&B Blazer.

This afternoon, I put the finishing touches to it!

I'm really pleased with how it's turned out!

(And then I did the faffing around!)

I say this afternoon... because this morning I found myself in a queue, in town!



Each year, one of the charity shops has a grand linen sale! ;-)
Apparently, people come from far and wide especially for this sale!

And so off I went with a good friend to see what we could find!

I came back with some pretties, naturally...



It was not a bad sale, although sadly they had displayed a lot of it in the window, which meant that only one person could get into the window area at a time...Great!



I stood patiently, second in the queue to get into the window... whilst my friend rummaged through the pillow cases and embroidered tablecloths! ;-)

I was pretty pleased with my finds!

Not content with that, we then did the charity shops. Newton Abbot is a charity shop lovers dream. I think we counted 14!

A blue and white jug found its way into my possession!

And this pretty little, hand painted, trinket dish .

A crochet shawl for 60p!!

It's been a great day!

I came home happy..and even managed to paint some more slabs! LOL!

And now I have time to sit and look forward to the weekend... as on Saturday Mr S and I are off on a 'little jolly".

Here's a clue!

(And I am not setting foot in a shop!)

;-)

I can't wait! ;-)
