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 -

    1. hi yasmin, grace & betty!
      i am delighted to have sold betty onto you-couldnt think of more fab new owners xx
      bee stations...
      take a plastic cup or yoghurt pot and cut down to the circular bottom
      using a drawing pin to secure to a stick
      decorate with pretty sequins and bright colours to attract the bees
      soak a cotton wool ball in sugar and water solution-staple to the middle of the flower
      ..gives bees a little stop off & boost on their way to the next real flower :)
