I just have to show you my wonderful purchase of today. I went to a charity shop to look for clothes to upcycle and came out with this...........
How funky is that? No more struggling with heavy crates, or at least less struggling, at the fairs. Does this make it official that I am an old lady now? The actual old lady in the shop was very envious because she had just bought one in Argos at nearly twice the price.
Now I have a quiz for you. What do you think these are?
Aren't they just lovely? There is something so pleasing about wood. I'm not sure what to do with them so they have been sitting on the window sill for a couple of months now. Still need a clue?
Does this picture help?
Give up?
They are the feet off an antique pine chest of drawers that we bought to put up in the loft conversion bedroom. Because the angle of the roof now starts from about 3 feet up from the floor the chest was standing too tall. The Best Beloved sawed the feet off and hey presto the chest is now a perfect height.........and I have four feet that I don't know what to do with but they are too nice to throw away.
Now if we were to buy another chest with similar feet we could play skittles!
