Well, I am a bit ashamed of myself for leaving my blog unattended for so long. My apologies to the lovely people that are following my blog! You must have given up all hope by now. Anyway, on the bright side, I have become all inspired and am working on a Shabby Cottage....one of my inspirations has been following Mercedes as she has been building her wonderful shabby house.
So here are some of the things I have been making for my little cottage.
I am awfully proud of these little framed pictures - they are so pretty and shabby! Here is a picture of the pansy picture on the kitchen shelf.
The little shelf is from Jemjoop and the purple and pink china is by Sam Dunlop - I couldn't resist that gorgeous purple!!
The little rickity kitchen table I made from balsa wood is holding together ok - I think the paint is stronger than the wood! Above the table is my favourite picture - it is called Bride Roses and Violets by Paul de Longpre. So pretty!
I made the little tin calendar. A friend of mine gave me a little resin cannister so I have crackle painted it, touched it will gold and put a pretty picture (pansies again!) on it. It is one of my favourite things for the little cottage!
Finally, I had a lovely time painting the little metal minis to look old and distressed - they have yet to find a permanent home but they look great on the table for now.
Thank you so much for visiting my blog!!
