Because the lady loves Dianthus Caryophyllus

Hello!
On my walk home form work I pass 4 charity shops, this can be difficult for me! The temptation to go inside just for a quick look is overwhelming....Well I was walking home just a other day saying to myself, I must not go into the charity shops (eh heard that one before) as the words parted my lips, I looked up at Cancer Research and in the window was a gorgeous fire guard, it called "Buy me" Before I knew it I had parted with my cash and practically skipped home. On a recent thrifting adventure with my mum and dad I'd bought a mirror for £5 and a groovy tray £2, I would turn my new fireguard into a picture and use my other new purchases for a Spring time hallway makeover.
How could I resist? Carnations the flowers of love


I unscrewed the feet and stapled on a bit of string to hang it as a picture instead




Before




life imitating art



The new hallway gets Phil's seal of approval.

Hope you're all having a fab weekend xxx

  5. That's such a great idea - I'm going to borrow it for my gazillion trays I need to hang up. Never thought of doing that! Love your hallway too, it's delightful! (PS Are you on Twitter? I had a look to say thank you for including me in your blogroll, but couldn't find you!) x
