2nd Chance Crafts: Storage tin

Storage tin

This is an espresso coffee tin. It makes a really good storage tin as it has a sealing screw top. It is 10 cm diameter and about 17cm. tall. The flowers are Marguerites and I think the blue and white together are very pretty.

I love this, Julie. My mum's favourite flowers were Zinnias and Marguerites, so it is very appealing to me.

You are right, the blue and white are gorgeous together.

2nd Chance crafts

Hello everyone..I am new to all this and keep having to call on my friend Sue Allan ( Little Imperfections) I wish I was as 'imperfect' as she is!!

I live in S. Oxfordshire in a tiny village near Wallingford but come from Yorkshire, which I miss. Anyone from N. Yorks out there?

I started renovating and decorating with folky flowers 20 years ago. I learnt it while living in S. Africa and when we came back to U.K. I scoured junk shops and car boots for anything cheap that I could clean up, paint, decorate and hopefully sell.

It all went very well for years but then declined as the majority wanted to go minimal. ( Ikea was a great influence on a lot of folk, but did nothing to help me!!!)

However much to my delight, pretty country things seem to be coming back slowly and that's good because I just can't stop renovating and decorating. I wish I had a work shop, but all I have is a dining room table!!!! That's o.k. for small things but not so good for funiture. There always seems to be articles either just painted, just varnished or half finished in various parts of the house. That's why I'd love a work shop. It's not going to happen!
