No time!!!!!

I haven't had time to do a thing for weeks for the blog .I have been busy renovating and painting for the usual saturday sale and last week I sold BOTH my big chairs AND a little cabinet, so that was great!

I'm spending all day now on 'Trip Advisor' Sri Lanka as a week today we are off there for about 3 weeks. I HOPE...(Standby tickets). This is far from an organised tour so we have to find our own accomodation and transport, hopefully on trains. probably have a goat and 2 hens on our laps!!!!!
Anyway a rest from painting and I hope I come back with lots of inspiration for new things.

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!
