♥ Paintovers & Pottery ♥

♥Good things come in twos!♥

Starting with these two lovely Ercol chairs

circa 1960s/1970's

Im no furniture expert but I believe they are made of teak

Lovely classic lines

Painted once again with beautiful Annie Sloan chalk paints, 3 coats to be exact and finished with a clear wax, every so slightly distressed on the edges.

Next up...

two gorgeous heavy handmade wooden shelves

These were stained dark but have been sanded and once again given 3 coats of A.S. chalk paints

A perfect pair

And finally, the best till last perhaps...

Sandygate Pottery

Polka Dot Heaven

All going on Etsy this coming week and what remains unsold will be coming to the Stony Stratford Vintage Market on the 26th November...

and remember I offer a free delivery service within 10 or so miles of HP13, I also live just off the M40 motorway if you fancy picking one of these gorgeous bits up...

Today I have been...

♥

Realising that you can't keep every bit of stock you pick up...no matter how usefull, pretty, quirky, handy or just downright gorgeous any of it is!

♥

Accepting that you cannot keep every paintover you do...including the two shelves & Ercol chairs that are being held hostage in the shed

♥

Regretting falling in love with the recent linens that have found sanctuary here and not happy that they 'may' go to market & not come home for Christmas

♥

Agreeing with people when they say how lucky I am to be able to 'play' with the stock...one of the perks is that you can 'showcase' the stock around the house

{hubby is convinced I'm just trying to sneak things into the house disguising them as stock}

♥sigh♥

I'm enjoying this vintage malarky!

Sandygate 1950's pottery...

My camera is no longer {sigh}

So...I can't show you the 2 gorgeous polka dot tea cups & biscuit saucers (not sure what to call them really, saucers with room for a cake, bicci or sarni?)

You wont for the time being see the lovely pastel green & yellow, how cute they are and how darned usable such cuteness is!!

I thought such things were a modern design (think Nigella Lawson)

And it would seem to be quite unusual as I have trawled the tinternet and can only find 1 link to a photo

{worth nipping over to the link lots of lovely 1950's bits there}

So for the time being they are bringing a smile to me when I look at them...hopefully I can get a photo of them on here in the hope they will give you a smile too!
