Thrifted Chair

One of the 2 chairs I bought at a furniture thrift shop this weekend. I see potential, do you?

I started removing the old paint layers today with a chemical stripping product. Silly me thought it would be a relatively simple and quick process... but it's turning out to be a bigger task than I expected. Hopefully I'll have it ready for a fresh coat of paint next weekend.

Just one more..

My brother and his girlfriend were married on September 26th, and what a beautiful day it was. I offered to help out by making the invitations, table menus & placecards.

Not really something I needed, but I couldn't resist buying these ironstone aqua mugs at my local thrift shop.

Little paper hedgehogs on their way to England - it's Mother's Day in the UK next Sunday - and thankfully I remebered on time this year - yay!

Terribly cold, but there is a lovely blue sky and the sun shines brightly today. It's a perfect day to stay home and play catch-up with the online world with a hot cup of tea and yummy biscuits. :)
