    Bibbity that is so cool. Very on trend too. I also like the idea of framed photos of London. Will take a look at your blog later.

    I'VE JUST "DISCOVERED" EBAY!!! :j

    ***calms down - slightly***

    Unfortunately, was outbid on a large dresser by £1, but that's ok, as it wasn't quite right any way. Still waiting for the outcome on a kitchen table, but been a bit sneakier with this and have tried a sniper on it.

    Did a search for "vintage kitchen" and hundreds of lovely items came up! Think I'm in love...:smileyhea...

    I had also been after an old-fashioned tea caddy for ages and found a genuine 1950's one for £6.95 inc. P&P. Think I may need a shabby chic detox before my overdraft explodes...:p

    Betony, I've been trying to get a dresser for ages. The space I have is only 100cm wide so it's a bit of a struggle. I'm fed up to the back teeth of not being able to get one. Maybe one day I will strike it lucky and manage to get one?
    I'm also after a dressing chest and was outbid on one a couple of weeks ago. So gutted!
