Shabby Chic Thread?

Pipkin

There are quite a few people selling enamel boxes similar to the housekeepers boxes (but with phrases like *bits n bobs* written on them instead) for very reasonable amounts on Ebay..I'm sure I saw some for 4.99 or so.

There are other listings for pink, red, cream ones... just type in enamel box.

Thanks Penny, how much would you say is needed for the average dishcloth?

Oh my gosh that is so gorgeous, tempted to go for that, but I already have a china tea set from my late mother in law and really hardly use it and yet, doesn't tea taste so much nicer from a china cup?

I really like that and so shabby chic! I would so love it but I don't have anywhere to store it and definitely no use for it. Humph! :rolleyes: I hope someone on here gets it.
