Rain Rain Rain has stopped me working on my new camper harriets bodywork...Boo & Hiss!

so i have spent the time re-inventing a few of my hoarded pieces of treasure for swinderby next month..
Usually i paint eveything in clunch by farrow & ball but i went a bit wild yesterday & used....
Grey! A really dark grey by annie sloan and love it!

I wonder if swinderby is ready for non cream furniture....

Todays project.....

i want to make my camper as eco as possible..those of you who drive old cars & campers know they aren't the most eco car to use...but i'm trying to lower our impact on our lovely earth my only using recycled and natural materials... so todays plan is to transform these crates into cupboard doors for her...

Watch this space.....i'll post my finished article over the weekend -

This weekend in Leicestershire....

Meet my super sweet & pretty scruffy new camper - yet to be named.

We are going to spend this summer on the road hippy camper style - doing things we love.. like reading, eating & festival-ing!

St Augustine : ‘The world is a book and those who do not travel read only one page.’

Rain rain rain rain rain .....and more rain!

& i've been busy sourcing lots of lovely vintage including some larger items that would be perfect for the garden & a real bbq talking point! i've been to fantastic auctions and

mangle, old washtubs, victorian clothes airers...and even a couple of vintage bikes!

and my favourite items.....

victorian potties!! They make perfect planters!

(pot up with sweet peas for a real bbq conversation piece..do you get it?

potty - peas - you pee in a potty ...oh well i  give up!)

 

infact anything makes a perfect planter! even old tins :)

vintage love xx
