Sunday, July 26

Before and after




We went to a sale at our favourite junk shop yesterday and picked up quite a few goodies including some golf clubs (yes, we have a new penchant for all things golfy since a couple of rounds of mini golf in Clacton. Seriously, we plan on making regular visits to our local pitch 'n' putt and everything! I must find some vintage pringle jumpers.). 

We also found a few bits of nice pottery and this ikea mini chest of  drawers. Pity it wasn't nice raw wood as new. Instead it had been stained a really icky garden fence green...so I set about fixing it up today. My hand-painted lettering isn't quite up to scratch yet but I like the overall effect. I especially like the lazy lion embroidered patch I found in a charity shop ages ago. It's from the 1960s and reminds me of something but I can't quite remember what...for some reason I could imagine him saying "Miscellany" and then yawning.

Well, have a nice relaxing Sunday afternoon all. I'll be back this week to show you some new pencil cases I've been working on and perhaps a sneak preview of a new ceramic project.
Byeeee!

Wow this is fantastic! I had a similar find from a car boot sale but I wish I'd done this to it now! Love your blog by the way :)
