New Listings

I really should title this post "Nearly New Listings" as I don't think I'm going to have these up for sale on the website tonight - definitely tomorrow though!

You've probably noticed all sorts of tutorials and ideas on what to do with Vintage Bed Spring bases - just google for more info

Anyway, I've been asking Tony to keep his eyes open for a vintage bed spring base for me - finally he found one - to be quite honest I have no idea how he cut the springs off, all I know is he bought them home for me to do what I wanted with - because the springs where coated in an enamel greenish colour, I've painted them a soft white and given them a bit of a sand back. I've hand painted little dainty roses on a few candlesticks to make a special little combo candle stick holder / candle package - although I will have just the holders for sale too

above and below - before and after photos

I have manged to list another of my architravel table legs on our website

Thanks for your ideas on my Cafe Cups Painting - I ended up simply adding a faded goldish rim to each cup - I was pleased with the result

Hope your weekend has been a Good One!

I haven't thrown my paint brushes away

After buying my lovely goodies yesterday, I finally got to work on a painting which I've had in mind for ages, I've painted my stacked white cups on linen - they're framed in a simple distressed soft white coloured frame - I've made a photo collage BELOW for you to look at - I'm not sure if I might give the cups a slight colour of some sort around the rims - will sleep on that one - or if you had ideas please let me know.
I did do a similar version on hessian and painted the rims of the cups red - blue - alternatively - not sure if I want anything as harsh in this painting thoughI haven't at all been neglecting my Rosy paintings, in fact the one below will be ready very soon, the weather here has turned very cold and seems to get dark way too quickly, I need to re-organise my working day that's for sure!

OK ~ here's another photo of Tony and I on our "Special Day". I think this photo would have been taken around about 26 plus years ago!!! - YAKES!!!

Have a wonderful weekend and thanks for coming over
