a good day for gems...

Nursery1

So here it is the spare room, the new project. As you can see rather a dumping ground for stuff that I keep intending to sort but just seem to keep shutting the door on! So I decided whilst I am feeling okay and haven't much in common with a beached whale yet I must crack on....First job is to sort & store away all  my bits which I hope to get on with this week. More to come......

Had a change about in the main bedroom, I seem to sleep better for a while if I move stuff about so here is the new set up. I am thinking of wallpapering one of the walls with some vintage paper I picked up recently but it may have to wait until more pressing jobs have been taken care of.

Had a great finds day today on the way to collect a cot thanks to Freecycle, which needs a good scrub and a lick of paint ready for pride of place in the nursery...have allsorts of ideas for bumpers & quilts,

We spotted a random boot fair and nipped in on the way back and managed to snaffle these gems

Boot

Two lovely oval mirrors in great condition, and these rather divine wooden candlesticks.....and the best find of the day this yummy eiderdown and its green......hoo blimin rah

Eiderdown

Already washed and drying nicely ready to take pride on place at the end of the bed.... I just missed a slightly smaller one but the way I see it there's someone else out there chuffed at their haul.

Then to top off the day my youngest (aged 7 I might add) went for a 10mile walk up a mountain and brought his Mum & bean these wonderful flowers...thank you rom pom Tom XX

Love the eiderdown and candlesticks. I have a collection of the mirrors too, all collected from car boots, my record being three in one day for under a tenner!
Can't wait to see the transformation of the spare room and I love the window in your bedroom - I have a mild obsession with sash windows!
