Happy Home...

I love my home.  

I had fallen out of love with it but recently we are in a full on love affair again!

Lots of rooms have had a fresh coat of paint, the rooms are lighter and brighter...with a snap or two of colour sprinkled in...

Colour really is making mine a Happy Home...and a recent 'slip of the button' is giving me the umph to add a few more touches here and there

 It's no secret that I've been colour loving turquoise for some time...
What colour is making you Happy this summer?

Fancy a...

good old rummage around?!

Yee Ha

Photo's!! My wonderfully organised sister {who manages not to let my children near her camera} managed to get a few photo's of the PriddyPriddy stall last weekend...

Ready?...

Well I managed to cram more stock than I ever thought possible into such a space, without it looking awful 

{well I don't think it looks awful}

My daughter and niece took along a selection of stock {echoes + ink on facebook}

which was really well receieved, they sold a few bits and had lots of interest in commissions!!

See that  yellow blanket ^^^

I was so disappointed that it sold, but not in the least bit surprised!

I wanted to sing the 'Yellow Rose of Texas' every time I looked at it!

Twsa a lovely little vintage coverlet...

^^^the chair came home with me, now that DID surprise me!

It's not got a label but is has a date of May 1938 stamped on it...again not a great disappointment as it is a comfy little thing

My first sale of the day were these rather lovely filing drawers...

^^^the glasses sold this time, but the sugar shaker is still here?

seriously if it doesn't sell in November it WILL be coming home to me permanently....

Somehow this blue cabinet didn't sell at £25

 but the very pretty Barret Ware tin did go...

and sadly {well not sadly but you know what I mean} the lovely Ercol chair sold...

Lolly isn't too happy with me as she had her eye on it

Oh my lovely, lovely recovered suitcase...I took it along to display on and it had SO much interest

Just a few more bits....

I think I should keep the next set of Vintage Jelly Molds I find as they're getting harder and harder to get hold of in good condition 

{or is that just in this area?}

more sugar tongs than you can shake a sugar cube at

{my favourites are the Lyons Tea house branded ones...how did they manage to sneak them out of the tea room?  Best not ask!}

How the light sparkles through crystal...casting rainbows all about!

and a few more...

I must stop picking up pretty tins and vinatge enamel, but I do lurve it so...

Despite the heat we had a great weekend, thank you to all who popped along for a natter 

Looking forward to doing it all again in November!!

♥ 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...
