This year I've been keeping a low profile 

& have only been at a handful of local fairs...

And my ranges have changed...

I now have more furniture & curios and less china...

It wasn't a conscious decision..I just seemed to lean towards useful or amazingly interesting pieces rather than indulgent pieces that sit on shelves...

after all we are all in a recession and moneys a bit tight..

In the words of William Morris..

so if you just buy one thing this week

make it count xx

To distress or not to distress...

that is the question...

I'm a big fan of distressed furniture as its easy to live with 

& any scrapes can be disguised with a touch up of paint 

or a bit more distressing!

But this week I was asked to simply paint a table without distressing it...

hmmm...are people going neat on me?

is this the end of scruffy ...oops shabby chic furniture??

Not in my house  :)

but I'm happy to paint a piece of vintage furniture however you choose...

as always if you bagsy (or more politely select)  the furniture BEFORE its painted you are able to choose the finish & paint colour Free of charge!

Just ask to see photos of pieces waiting for their transformation 

when you next visit me at a fair - I've always got a barn full of tables, chairs & other curious vintage furniture waiting to be loved :)

vintage summer wishes xx
