that is lovely!!! And..... I found they sell MDF letters which I've been googling for (want to make a pressie for dgd) - thanks PP (even though this is likely to cost me a bit of cash) thinks..... must remember to ask ds if he still has his router ....... wonder how many letters I could get out of a sheet of MDF ........ don't throw the string away. You always need string!

I'm always astonished at how beautifully people decorate their homes and when it is done on a budget, it is even more impressive! Well done to everyone x0 -
Sorry if you have to look upside down!! appears to be a glitch with photo bucket at mo!0 -
I wonder if anyone can help.......I need two waste paper bins for our office/study area at home. As its in the room off the kitchen that leads to the livingroom I want it to look attractive but at the same time I'd like it to be cheapish.....any ideas anyone?
Viv I just found this site - http://www.claroenterprises.co.uk/mdf_blanks.asp lots of different shapes for decoupage there. I've bookmarked it for future reference!!
I love the writing slope (at the bottom of the page), it would look good with my old dip pens and blotter... don't throw the string away. You always need string!

Im so pleased I stumbled upon this thread! What a great idea!
Ive been "doing" shabby chic for a while now and love it so much Ive just opened a small ebay shop selling such things. Some I hand make myself some are vintage treasures that I cant fit in my home but cant leave behind either!!
These are a couple of my own makes:
A desk dresser tidy made with original 1940s postcards and victorian photos
A vintage china tea cup made into a pin cushion!0 -
ebaybaby, they are really good, I especially like the pincushion teacup0
