WOYWW

I went to the Kings road with my daughter, looking for rugs. On the way to the shop we passed an old pub with a pile of rubbish outside...a magnet to me.  The pile was full of old furniture andIi wished we'd had a bigger car but all we had was a tiny Toyata Yaris. Anyway with a lot of difficulty we managed to get two large dining room chairs, VERY heavy, so not pine...but quite plain and ugly.
 This is the first one, now cleaned up, painted and decorated and varnished and ready for the sale on saturday. So, fingers crossed it will sell.

   The horse shoes take a lot of cleaning up and hardly worth it really as there is not much room to decorate. people seem to like them though.

My worktable today at the Stamping Ground

Today I thought I would have a change from painting so I covered one of these stone jars in decoupage, just nice wrapping paper cut up, glued on and varnished. Not so keen on it but some one liked it enough to buy it, so that's o.k.

Th other one is just my usual flowers. I must practice some new flowers. I call these 'Utensil holders',but of course they would be great for flowers as well.

I thought I would start 'Christmasy' things  so I cleaned up this tatty old candle holder and, sprayed it black with cellulose and them 'tried' to paint holly!

 The little heart is cut from a piece of hardboard found in the garage.

 I am always looking for old curtain poles as they are ideal for making the uprights for wellington boot stands. Bases are not a problem as we seem to have plenty of wood in the garage. The bases have 2 coats of yacht varnish on to protect them in wet weather.

Hen Can

I thought I would have a change from flowers, but I am not so sure. hens are much harder to paint than flowers. I shall have to practice!

Daisy Jug

This wa a very cheap and nasty looking 'brass' jug, but in good condition so I thought it worth transforming.  I like the colours of this.

Two little chairs

These two little chairs would do for twins. They are really small, to suit 2 year olds, a boy and a girl.  Well, I have twins, a boy and a girl, but they are grown up with children of their own AND older than 2 years old! I think they are quite sweet,just because they are so tiny.

Little old milk can

A little milk can, found in  junk shop in keighley.  I love this metal, too nice to paint. In fact it really shouldn't even be decorated!!! Anyway it is and there it hangs on my lovely old bavarian pine hanging shelf.
