thanks for that tiff, it sounds very similar to how hubby does the trains scenery , when he used uses paper to build up the hill's etc. i'm sure he'd be very willing to assist if i dod have trouble.

Hi everyone

I came across this seller when I was looking for wooden hearts. Although not the cheapest they are beautiful

I got a very pretty china trinket box this morning from the CS for £1.69. I will post a pic on my blog later

I have got to post some photos of my shabby chic finds on my blog!!! Feel free to have a look at it (linked under my username) and suggest improvements as I am not very techno savvy lol.

Will check out all your blogs later xo

That little box is beautiful - quite art deco too with the way the roses are drawn, I like the price too
Your srawers are coming along nicely I'm looking forward to the transformation.

Re Farrow and Ball oil eggshell - this is no longer made according to F&B's website as the water based eggshell that's replaced it is 'greener'. I've been in 2 local Homebases in the last couple of days - one had none at all, another had a couple of tins but still at full price, others seem to have found it reduced??
The Little Greene Paint Company still do an oil based eggshell - similar colours and prices to F&B - but I don't know if you can buy it other than direct from them. HTH

Oh dear, I just made the mistake of looking at the Martha Stewart website I now have about fifty tabs open with amazing crafty projects and gorgeous looking stuff, and household tips. If you don't hear from me for a week or two, you know what I'm doing :rotfl:
