    I have just bought a lovely CK style single duvet cover and pillowcase for my daughters bedroom for £9 from Tescos! You can see it on their website.http://direct.tesco.com/product/images/?R=207-4420

    pretty duvet - would snap it up if it was cotton :(

    On the paint front I find oil based eggshell much harder wearing and a nicer finish (though horribly smelly to use) and do find that brand paint is better coverage than cheap stuff - dulux trade, f&b

    Chunker has just posted on the Grabbit Board that these are back in stock. :)

    Thanks I managed to get a couple - being delivered to my local store tomorrow

    I'm hoping it'll kick start my Shabby Chicness with some lovely patchwork :)

    Here's my very first little bit of patchwork! It's a mini quilt, it's supposed to be a coaster but I like it too much to spill coffee on it :rotfl:

    AGH! Someone please tell me how to resize this, if I try to do it in the reply box, it doesn't seem to save.

    Help required please :)

    I saved this cushion picture on my computer but I forgot to save where I found it!
    I love it but I just cant think where it was from.

    Does anyone recognise it? I found it online only 2 days ago.

    I'm afraid the duvet covers are out of stock again. What a shame.
    Here dead we lie because we did not choose
    To live and shame the land from which we sprung.
    Life, to be sure, is nothing much to lose,
    But young men think it is,
    And we were young.

    Why don't you check your computers history from 2 days ago (assuming of course that you didn't visit hundreds of sites!)
