I am now a subscriber to Romantic Homes from the states! £20 for a year............. In my defence I know this is supposed to be a money saving website but the mags show you how to make a home out of what you have and cheap finds

I blame the http://posy.typepad.com/posy/2008/02/februarys-rea-1.html and http://homespunliving.blogspot.com/search/label/corners%20of%20my%20home

These sites are fabulous :j

Hello again :hello:

I'm still following the thread and getting addicted to all the blogs!!

I had an unexpected day off today and made some bits I've been meaning to do for ages.

HERE, HERE and HERE.

As I said before I think it's only my kitchen which falls into the Shabby Chic description. I've been collecting antiques for years and then started on advertising signs and tins about 10 years ago. There are a few new bits but most of the stuff is rescued from dumps and junk shops. :money:

Hopefully this link to my album will work. (I've been loading pictures all night :rolleyes:)

Haribo what a lovely home you have. What gorgeous taste. I was a bit disappointed though;) I was expecting you to include your little gingham jam toppers.
