Thrifting
This week I found some lovely floral sheeting-2 x double sheets and a pillowcase in beautiful condition. I think a Spring skirt of sorts is in order.
I also picked up a couple of pretty aprons-just 50c each. Love the fabrics.

This one is a bit cute so I'll be wearing it for a while.
Not an op shopped find but an old chair I retrieved from the shed at my in-laws place.
It belonged to Pop and it will be the perfect chair for O's desk. Funny though, when I went outside around 5pm to snap a picture of the chair, I decided to pull out the sander and see what was underneath that red laquer. I'm not sure the Mr found it funny. Dinner time on a Sunday night might not have been the best time to start sanding back an old chair but sometimes when inspiration hits...well you just have to run with it, I think;)

So much nicer now that all that red is gone. Well done, dinner time or not!

Lovely fabric - the green floral is very elegant.
oh the florals! that sheet is the right amount of perfect and i love the idea of making buttons out of tired aprons. lovely! x
More fab finds Lea, can't wait to see how the chair turns out...don't you just love wondering who the previous owner was, what they did, perhaps a famous novel or amazing love letter was written by the owner when they sat at their desk...ahhh love breathing new life in history!
Oh I LOVE that last apron!
