dizzy lizzie i have those hearts in my ebay watch me. i love them. not sure where i'd put them yet tho if i got them. am thinking maybe hanging them on the end of the curtain pole.

does anyone have a sewing pattern or know how to make a fitted table cloth ? i can see in my head how to do it, but not quite sure. sure a gorgeous design in a country kitchen magazine but it was just a pciture not a pattern.

Oh definately get them jcr. They would look really sweet hung on wardrobe or bedposts too. I also bought a door plaque sign from them and they really are such good quality.

Oh my Lord, that is just so beautiful. I think I may have to get one. We have just redecorated our bedroom in a lovely shabby chic style and that sign would just be perfect for it.
So romantic...going to have another look at it now.

New me, i have no idea hat paint i used, lol. i was at my mums earlier and i rememebered my little bro ( well he 14,lol) has a avery nice blue bedroom so i asked mum for a little pot of the paint, how cheeky. but it is a gorgeous colour.and then once painted blue i used a cotton bud to paint the white dots on , and when fully dry i gave a coat of pva glue. not sure i'd use pva glue on the ones i'm going to use for plants, as i liked it when they were a matt finish. but i've not decided fully on what i'm doing with the other 3 pots yet. too many ideas now,lol.

Not fantastic pic's, but i'm so chuffed.

heres the pots before and my new pen pot after.

Looks wonderful!! What paint did you use for that? Just normal matt wall paint?

jcr16

yes very romantic isn't it. it just a fantastic finishing touch to above a bed .

i'm gonna get this one for in our hallway above the door to the kitchen.

i love the signs

jcr16

princess vikki, i think it a mid sheen type paint. it wasn't shiney, but it wasn't matt.

the terracotta pot just soaked it up, it was drying within seconds. but thats cool with me.

They're gorgeous aren't they. Who'd have thought we could get so excited over some painted wood and a few 'heart touching' words
They just strike a chord though don't they. So beautiful.
