Remember me saying last week I was going to show you the old brown dressing table that I was trying to finish painting. Well hear she is all finished!!

I know she is Green!! and not every ones cup of Tea.. But she will fit in very happy with all the rest of the thing's I have around house.

The rest of the week I have been scooting around the charity shops, and managed to find a few pretty things.

Like this pretty little plastic necklace, that I really love.

And these lovely 1950's curtains, that will hopefully fit my bathroom window.
Have a lovely weekend everyone!! x

These last few day's I have been spending most of my time painting a lovely old dressing table, it will have it's final coat of paint tomorrow. So fingers crossed...I can show you some pictures later in the week of how it turned out!!

In -between painting I did manage to buy a few vintage goodies to keep me happy!!
Some old fabric to add to my collection.

This cute plastic Spillers dog hook to hang my key's on.

And this lovely old Jacobs floral tin,... "That I love to bit's!!!
Enjoy the rest of the week.. x

Almost there

These are some of the other things I managed to pick up at Newark's Antique fair.

I am not quite sure what I am going to do with this lovely old sheet music, I just loved the cover.
"Maybe it might look good in a frame !!!

I love this blue knitting needles case,which was full of old needles....." Why do I keep buying coloured knitting needles and pretty cases for them!!!! I haven't knitted for about twenty years.
Maybe one day I might have ago again, well I think I might have caught up with showing you my finds from Newark.

Catching up

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend! And you all received lots of Valentines cards and flowers.
Hubby and I had a lovely day out in Lincoln, and went to Primark where I picked up a few cheap floral goodies which I will try and show you later on in the week. I have got myself right behind showing you some of the vintage items I bought a couple of weeks ago at Newark's Antiques fair..... Can't believe I am that far behind, looks like I am going to have to get my finger out!!!

These pictures were taken a couple of weeks ago when I had just got back from Newark, so you might notice on one of my last posts the pictures on the wall. They went up the same day I bought them," same old me" getting all excited with all my new things. I even have to start arranging them all over the house as soon as I walk in the door!!!!

My saying is..... " Boy's and there toys" and girls with there pretties!!!!

I keep looking at this picture, and trying to work out if her head looks too big for her body!!!

This last picture has a couple of marks at the bottom, but i still love it!!!
I forgot to tell you who won the bet on the splash back, my son Nicky did. I left it in the kitchen for seven days..." it's in my work room now. " WORLD RECORD " well it is for me.

New love of my life

This is my new love of my life..... A gorgeous Victorian red and white enamel splash back. That I have been" wanting and searching for many months," and managed to find last week at a local Antiques fair. I came home cold wet and very muddy, but a "very happy chappie"indeed.

Little green cupboard

Hope everyone had a lovely weekend" I spend mine doing a bit of painting, not reading my new books as planned.
This is what i have been painting, a cute little vintage cupboard that I purchased last week having it's first lick of green paint. I needed something to go on the wall of my downstairs toilet, as it was looking a little drab in there. To be quite honest it could do with the walls and paintwork doing again, but i thought i would Wait till the weather picks up a bit.

Must glue the knob back on, damaged on it's travels up the stairs as well as the hall needs painting were i have scratched all the walls. ( i think i am going to be in the dog house when hubby See's the damaged to the hall in the daylight)

Vintage Treasures

After this morning's panic of not being able to find my camera charger and phone charger, i eventual found them in a draw with hat's and scarf's on top of them. I did managed to take a couple of pictures of my new vintage treasures before it got to dark.
A gorgeous vintage tin covered in roses, that is going to take pride of place in my kitchen window, ANOTHER little wooden doll to add to my collection which are in every room now of my house. They always put a smile on my face when i look at them!!!
