    Did a booze cruise today and I bought a magazine called 'Marianne Maison'. It is full of things to make for the house and home, and has some wonderful pictures of decoupaged furniture. I've searched for a web link - to no avail.

    There is some wonderful decoupage and I could photograph it, but I'm not sure if it would be breach of copyright! Does anyone know?

    Although it is in French, lots is done by giving diagrams and it is full of ideas.

    So, if someone can give the the ok on copyright, I'll do my best to get photos on here.

    Bought lots of wine at about £1.50 a bottle. We go for those with the carboard collars saying recommended by Auchon. Even when cheap the wine is good.

    I also bought some white candles to tie up with ribbon a la the 'cream...' (forget the full name) site. They were the equivalent of Auchon value and were £1. I have ribbon so much cheaper than the £4!!!

    Think that might be a bit dodgy on the copyright MM, though not sure as its in french?? ;)

    I like the idea of a candle bag (cant remember the posh - French! name!) on the Country cream site, and they also have one for toilet rolls which would look much better than the tesco or andrex wrapper:D

    We don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.

    Oooooh I like the Willow and Stone site :) Loads of these items for sale on these sites can be reproduced though at home which is great!!!

    Look at this site, I wish we had this TV show in the UK :(
