VINTAGE/ CHARITY HUNTING

This week was a good week vintage haul wise found a fab chair in a local junk shop, left the dodgy cushions behind, it is just waiting for a bright pink paint job, and a rummage through the fabric stash to make some new covers.



Spotted this bureau in a charity shop in Bury mused how good it would look with a bit of TLC left it at that and thought about all night, so a mad dash back next day to buy, will post photos when done up.




This is it in situ waiting for it's make over,



this week other bits were some nice china and a bowl to match a vase acquired a while back



And this book oh to live by the sea !
