I picked up some nice treasures at the boot sale in early May and they have sat unloved in the corner of the room for about a month until I couldn’t stand to look at them any more.
I got cracking sanding and painting and came up with something a little more pleasing to the eye. This is how they started life:
I got cracking sanding and painting and came up with something a little more pleasing to the eye. This is how they started life:
This mirror (boot sale £2.50) was painted with many coats of spray paint, to get in the little crevices, I used the same paint on the little photo frames (from the Wilko sale 75p each) ~can you see where I spray painted my lawn? A couple more cuts and it will be gone hopefully. 
Aren't these vintage cards the sweetest? They are from Vintage Amethyst, an online boutique full of vintage and shabby loveliness, have a little look over there. I added a bit of antique lace and ribbon to the cards and mounted them on some wallpaper from my chimney breast in the same room.
The clock was a present from years ago and the letter rack was another boot sale find (£1.50).
Now back to the sewing…
