Morning Shabby Chic'ers!!

Well today I intend on getting done what I did not yesterday

Lots of stuff to do.

Sunday we have decided to go to the huge local car boot sale that is held once a month, it will be the first time I have been as I always forget about it lol.

So I will be looking for

Faded vintage fabrics/plain linen
Mismatched pretty china
Enamelware
Shelving and unusual wall units that I can paint

Really looking forward to it! I love car boot sales

Ive searched high and low but have only found them in cream, pink or pale blue. The only green enamel jug I can find is this one:

Id be ever grateful if someone has seen the first style in green somewhere.

Our local Tesco were selling them a few weeks ago but they sold out very quickly.

Whilst I remember............a couple of pics as we all like them!

Thought I would have a clear through my magazines and cut out pics I wanted to keep for inspiration!


Bargains that I got from Woolworth half price sale, this lot was £17!
It includes 4 enamel caddies, small roses dustpan and brush + small roses ironing board cover



And this little baby is the dining room I aspire to!!

China, just keep an eye on Ebay and one will turn up eventually, I bought some exactly like you are looking for myself from there, but the shop closed down not long after that... but keep looking, they always come around after a while.

For enamelware (inc jugs) you cannot beat these really there is a green one there too with bowl for £20!

They are a company local to me!

What about this style?

I have a couple of these too and think they are actually sturdier than the other style, the metal seems to be a bit thicker IYSWIM.

Sorry if thats no help!
