But if i paint the bench table i will have to paint my kitchen table and chairs and after doing my dresser the other week,i dont know if i can face that:rotfl: :rotfl: :rotfl:“Love yourself first and everything else falls into line.

Evening everyone,
You've all got some lovely car boot bargains today!
I have a question for you.
I was watching this item on ebay:
I noticed the listing ended, so I emailed the seller. It turned out the seller cancelled the listing as there wasn't much interest. He's offered it to me if I'm interested but I don't have a clue what to offer. He says in his email "dont want huge amounts of money for it but I wasnt going to sell it for peanuts either". It was only on 99p when it ended. In all honesty I was just hoping for a bargain, so do you think it's cheeky just offering a £10 for it?
I actually don't have room for it really, but i can see the shabby chic potential! :rolleyes:
:T*Thanks to all who posts comps * :j0 -
That bunting is gorgeous!
Did you sew different fabric strips together to form the triangles?
Have you anymore close up pics of it?
Yes, there are several different fabrics I sewed together (in my own secret way
) and embellished. There are more pics on my blog, which is Bibbitybob on the blog list

If thats what you can afford and if thats what you'd have bid to, then why not........they can only say NoWe don't need to do it perfectly - good enough is exactly that GOOD ENOUGH.0

bibbly - I'm confused about what you mean about the finish - can you explain any more?
I would stuff them with the same sort of thing that you stuff teddy bears with (I'm so out of practice)...is it literally just called stuffing?
They are very nice

Hello everybody, is it possible to end your listing early then. I put some things on for the first time and there are no bids, no watcher, zilch
I don't want them to go for the start price either, thanks for any helpWomen and cats will do as they please and men and dogs should get used to it.;)
