In a bit of a TWIST

I bought this Barley Twist table at auction some time back...its a great size for a smaller home, but my style has changed...so it had to go!

A good sand, woodworm treatment and rub down and we were ready to paint!

Have you ever painted a Barley Twist piece of furniture? It's a NIGHTMARE...especially with thick chalk paint... I used Rust-Oleum.

After more coats of paint than I care to mention and a good wax on both table top and legs it was time to move it on...so someone else can enjoy it! 

Thursdays Finds

Last Thursday I had coffee and a mouch about with my Mum, we both have Thursdays off so if neither of us has anything planned, we get together for a couple of hours. This week she came to me. Firstly, and quite rightly, we hit the charity shops and then onto lunch…here are my finds

These are so sweet...

How delicious are these? That sunburst lid is just gorgeous...

Now this chappie was love at first sight, my other half thinks it is "disgusting and naff!" (direct quote)

I'm taking votes on this, not trying to sway the vote but I LOVE HIM/HER!

*Thursday was a good day!

*if your interested, Mum bought two pyrex casserole dishes with lids, a pyrex butter dish all in the Chelsea pattern and a vase.
