they have loads of designs and at £1.35 with free postage i didn't think it was too bad.

newmee, I am so envious of your Ercol chair, so fab. Everything Ercol seems to go for so much money on Ebay, I need to search harder as you only paid £5. I quite like the print on it, reminds me of the cath kidston cowboy print but it will look really fab with new fabric. My taste is mixed too, I dont like lots of floral but the painted furniture, mixing old and new etc is definitely me.

thanks tiff it was a bargain wasn't it. There were no bids in the last minute and I bid and won it! In had actually been bidding on his 2 sisters all week (a matching femal pair as aposed to the one I won, which was apparently a male!!) and they got over my budget so this really was a last minute bargain.
Funnily enough I thought the cover may have been the Cath Kidston cowboy print from the picture but realised when I picked it up that it is like a medieval tapestry scene.
Thanks for looking at the blog xxxx

:embarasse Hope I haven't upset anyone with my subliminal blog message :embarasse

AS such I will go back in and ammend my previous post and try putting it in my user profile.

Kandipandi I love your sewing....I too am developing a taste for the good 'ole Union Jack. I hope I'll be able to sew as well as you one day, am currently trying to find a beginners sewing class locally so I can learn hands on how to use the machine that's been given to me!

Hi, the shed/beach hut is lush.... Can you tell me what cuprinol colours you used?? I looked on their site today and I love the forget me not and cream for stripes, I don't know if this was your choice, but it looks loverrrly, Im very upset they dont make a very pale pink as I wanted pale pink and cream stripes Yiiikkkeeess. Also like the thought of "seagrass and cream"

Found a picture! This is my shed, it may not be the definition of shabby chic, but I love my shed!!!



I guess it could be shabby chic as I'm going to make some little curtains for the window so that I can stop the sun going right in in the summer and taking the internal temp to boiling point! I've painted the inside cream

Thanks Thriftkitten. It was the Forget Me Knot and the Country Cream. they are periodically on offer at either B&Q or Homebase and, as I said I only bought one litre tins and I have some left of both (although I will have finished the cream when I finish the inside of the shed, I shouldn't wonder)!

Been knitting dishcloths today! Too hot for anything energetic

ETA - There is pink here and they say they can be used outside.

newmee I must be fick - can you pm me the link to your blog pretty please ?
