Bookends

I hope you all had a lovely weekend.

We went to Sydney to celebrate my nieces birthday and then stopped in Bathurst on the way home to celebrate my Sister in Laws birthday, very family orientated and nice.

I have finished making my ruffled bag and took it with me to celebrate. It must look alright because I had lots of lovely compliments, but then again they are my family and should be encouraging : )

I'll show you some time this week when I have uploaded the photos.

My bookends were a nice and easy makeover and look much better with a bit of white paint.

A reminder of what they looked like before

and after dabbing on some white paint, here and there

I wanted a worn shabby finish so I used a paintbrush to apply the paint in layers until I had a look I was happy with.

Another project ticked of the list.

The White Shed

I have had some gorgeous bookends from Letitia's store on my wish list for a while however I have been on a spending budget (and still am unfortunately) but after what seems like ages I finally was able to buy them and seeing as The White Shed had a sale I was able to buy a little extra as well.

Getting parcels in the mail is so exciting,

especially when they are packaged so prettily.

We needed a new oil pourer as our old one below has had enough. We got it for a wedding present and it worked really well until the rubber seal that sat on the inside of the bottle died and disintegrated then fell into the oil!

We are also looking for a refillable oil spray bottle that works for longer than 2 weeks. We have unsuccessfully tried a few and have not been able to find one that we like the look of and that works. So if you have any suggestions please let me know!

See my $1 version of a salt pig? It works well!

Thanks Letitia for the great service and super fast delivery.

If by some chance you haven't visited Letitia or her shop please do. Her blog is here and shop is here.

Have fun and don't forget she currently has a sale on.

Have a great weekend!
