Shabby Chic Thread?

Pink.

I'd love to get my mits on this one, but it's too far away from me I'm afraid...

I hope one of you lives near Stockport and manages to snap it up.

Those candlesticks are gorgeous - I can't wait for car boot season to start here again - the first one is Easter Sunday - a fortnight and counting!

I think I may embark upon some sewing tomorrow, I was going to do some little fabric hearts to dot around the house which are quick and simple, they are in the Country Craft book that I managed to pick up from the charity shop last week for £1.50.

I have lots of little fabric scraps to use up and plenty of filling material so it should not be a problem!

I think I have the same book and it is fab. I've had it for years and it is well used. My next project from it is the patchwork quilt. :eek:

If it's the same book it's available on Amazon.

Can any of you Shaby Chic-ers think of an alternative use for a bread bin, other than to store bread? It is the horizontal flip-front kind. I bought it because I thought it was really nice, but when I got home I realised I would rather keep my cceramic bread crock.

You could keep packets of pasta in it.
