Thrifty find #010



Picked up this Ottoman today to sit in my bay window. The plan is to paint it white and make a padded seat out of Sanderson's Henri Matisse Still life fabric shown below. Perfect!!!!

Thrifty Finds #006 and #007

It's been a little while since I last went hunting for gems but yesterday I came across these 2 items at YMCA, Tunbridge Wells which I've now given a home.

The knitted vintage toy soldier I just had to buy. I love to collect London reminders so this dear little thing will take pride of place on the sofa...along with the cats who like to muscle in on photos the cheeky monkeys.



And this elegant deer I spotted a mile away which will probably find it's home above the fireplace along with my owls and pigeons and what not!


Well that's my latest thrifty finds for now. Happy Friday peeps and have a lovely weekend.

Thrifty Finds #002

Spice pots. George Street, Old Town Hastings.

Thrifty Finds #001

I'm always on the look out for little gems and so from hereon in I'm going to report on my thrifty finds! So here's thrifty find #001 - a wooden hand painted hanging vessel of some sort, bought from Courthouse St, Old Town Hastings.


I haven't a clue what it is but I'm going to use it in my desk area to hold some of my pens. It's a cheerful little thing and I love it's folksy feel - it makes me smile. If you've any idea what this is actually used for, drop me a line!
