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.

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
Annie Sloan Chalk Paint- Paris Grey & Antoinette

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.
