RIP IT UP

Some photos of Rip it up at the Frock Around the Clock vintage fair from a few years ago.

Retro revived. Unloved pieces of furniture given a new joie de vivre with pattern and colour.

Craft corner newcomers

 Some newcomers to the craft corner in our hallway.

Trolley Dolly

Did your granny have one of these? I picked this one up from a charity shop in Newtownards for £3, a wheel fell off as i was bringing it back to the car and a nice couple ran after me to give it back! I'd been looking for one for ages and of now i've found one I see them everywhere.

Before. Messy! The painting in the background sums it up!

Trolley Dolly, works a treat as a dressing table and I've got my chair back.

show your bits

Inspired by this retro look teatowel ,which was too cute to use so I framed it instead, the design is called My kitchen shelves...ToDryFor

Off came the cupboard doors, one roll of wallpaper, the pattern is called Cocktail from BandQ, some glue, a little bit of know how and alot of patience later........

My kitchen shelves! Cheerful and easy to find everything!
