Having a shop is a bit like being a hoarder without the social stigma. We can collect hundreds of BITS and pile them up and never get on TV or have an intervention from our families!
This week, we noticed, as we often do with new Finds, a certain color scheme emerging... that 1950's retro green prevailed, with splashes of red.......
There was this great old door which we adorned with a driftwood garland...
Stacks of Green Hotelware and chunky ironstone...
Scrubby iron hooks with Chippy paint and a gorgeous Burliegh bowl...
A cute little scallopy edged night table, vintage Babka dolls, a milking stool....and (this is for you Tamarah) a vintage red toolbox marked #21.
A little painted glass lamp with rosebuds around the shade...and a scrubby wooden divided box that could hang on a wall to house a collection, hold cutlery or organize your Bits...
We braved a bit of snow this weekend on our "Expedition" (where has Spring gone) as well as the worst breakfast potatoes EVER in a country diner, which shall emain nameless as they could be related to our new best source for farmhouse Bits.
Hi - I like the scrubby iron hooks! Scrubby is a great word to describe them! Also the Russian dolls - I still have my childhood one, I always loved putting all the 'babies' inside. L x
ReplyDeleteHi Chania,
