How to make simple Doilie Bunting

To make doilie bunting is so very simple.

First of all get together all the bits you need.

Greengate Heart Doilies

Ribbon

Scissors

Glue

Ruler

Work out how much tape you need depending 

on where you are hanging your bunting.

Then using a ruler measure equal 

distances for the heart doilies.

Then glue your hearts onto the ribbon

and hang in your desired place.

ta dah!

Upcycling by the Paint Bucket Load

I've had fun painting up a few tables.

It's very satisfying when you pretty up an old sad looking table that looks end of life then ends up looking amazing.

Here are a few that I finished yesterday using

The Forgetful Blogger

I've come to the realisation that I'm a terrible blogger.

I really must try harder.

 

I have spent a lot of time & energy on new products that have come in & trying to show them to as many people as possible so just because I don't want you to feel slighted here are a few.

I love these nightlights.

I even have them in my kitchen

as its a dark space as we back onto a cliff face.

 

 

 

 

I also love these cushions & they have been very popular

 

I don't want to inundate you with products but I will make an effort to blog more often :)

 

 

 

It's our last shipping day!

Thank you so much to everyone that has ordered, liked

& shared Ain't too Shabby.

I've really enjoyed getting this business off the ground.

Today is my last shipping day before Christmas 

& I will then be taking a Christmas break. 

I'll be back shipping out items from the 6th January.

I would like to wish you all 

a very Merry Christmas & a Happy New Year! xxx

Pre-loved Makeover

Inspired by the fab paints of Annie Sloan I started looking for suitable furniture

that looked in need of a make over.

 

First up was this lovely set of tables which unfortunately had lots of scratches all over it.

 

I decided on Annie Sloan Paris Grey which I have an unhealthy addiction to,

painted a couple of coats, finishing with the clear wax.

 

I was really pleased with the result, here it is:

 

 

And so begins my love of repurposing old but beautiful furniture.

This was so popular it sold within days, bonus.

We've launched

I'm so happy to say that after a lot of hard work from me & my website guru Kathryn we have now launched.

I have lots to share  including the before & after of a few Shabby Chic projects I've been working on so watch this space.
