did anyone buy anything from the bhs sale when it was posted earlier in the thread?? i ordered one of the jugs, 2 plates (kiddy ones) and the tin flower pitcher - i have to say i am so impressed with it all!! Much bigger than i ever anticipated and it all looks so expensive too - not bad for £15 inc postage!! Thank you to the OP of the link to the bhs sale

Twas me! Some things looked lovely in the sale I have to say. I didn't buy anything myself though due to lack of funds and I really really can't justify it! I shall keep an eye on their sale stuff though!

If anyone in the Cardiff area collects this then the George Thomas Hospice shop on Clifton Street has some plates and serving platters. They are white with the pattern around the edge, alternating blue and black motifs. I don't thik that it is actually snowflake, but it is a similar sort of thing.

I was going to get the strawberry stuff, but they ran out of side plates, so I'm not sure now.

Hi everyone have been away for a couple of days so have just been catching up with you all. I took my little spice rack thingy from the attic sale with me and have nearly finished it now. One day when I can find my digi camera and work out how to post pics I'll show it to you. Did it in the pale mortlake cream and am quite pleased with it:D. Just have to wait till OH gets round to putting it on the wall now, could be a while:rotfl:

My decking area is a little bit shabby chic I s'pose. I'll post some pics when I've done my pots.

I have 2 projects on the go atm. A gents clothes hanger thingy for the bedroom and an old oak nest of tables. I'll post before and after pics at the weekend, though I'm not sure any of you will really like them as I'm restoring them to their natural state and not painting them white.
