Strolled around the Wednesday car boot yesterday in the damp yet strangely warm morning. The weather improved to sunny and hot but today is heavy rain - yeugh! Just a few purchases but I also paid the charity shops a visit. Here is my booty:
 |
| Two oh-so-cute salt and pepper pots, 50p |
 |
| Two heart-shaped baking trays for 40p |
 |
| Little dummy and shiny bird. I buy the dummies and shabby-chic them up. |
 |
| Two swatches of pretty fabric |
 |
| Maxwell Williams plate for 25p |
 |
| Battered old stool and metal container, £2.50 the pair |
I sort of guessed that the heart trays were in the car boot because they stuck good and proper.
I was right!
However I got eight lovely cake tops which, when filled with cream and homemade plum and cherry jam and stuck together, went down a treat.
The remainder of the cake is going to be a trifle base when it grows up.
The stool is now dismantled, sanded, sugar-soaped and awaiting primer, paint and a new seat covering. The container is primed and awaiting paint. Why do I add so many WIPs and UFOs to my life when I have enough things already on the go? I must like a challenge!
Lucky you,what beautiful finds,

Ah that's a shame abut the cake tin. Pop them in the metal recycling if you're not keeping them - wouldn't want anyone else to be disappointed like you were!
ReplyDeleteThe fabric is beautiful. Another WIP?
