Sandy Toes & Salty Kisses

Here at Treasured & Weathered 2010 has been fun packed.

All the people that are close to me know that I like nothing better than being knee deep in paint, fabric and a real challenge on my hands!!

To me a piece of furniture that is destined for landfill is my idea of heaven after it has been funkily up-cycled.

Some quick quirky tips from Mish:-
Why not use a beautiful chair as a bedside table.....
How about getting a piano bench and using it as a coffee table....
A gorgeous vintage mirror used as a base to reflect your collection of drinks glasses true Moroccan style....
Be daring its your home, think outside the box....
Lets add an element of surprise to every room!!
How about a quirky quote hand painted onto the wall - in the bedroom "time for bed" or "zzzzz".

Wishing you all a peaceful, healthy New Year.
Just leaving you with some pictures of the Mersea RNLI Boxing Day dip.

 

Till next time
Love Mish xxxx
P.S Coming soon some secrets of a clutter free nest!! ;-)

Disused and Unloved Items

What a lovely day I've had once more.

Wow...... sunshine!

Early start and off to Marks Tey boot sale.

Now why is it that my friend Jenny came back without any goodies?

I however was struggling to walk with all my lovelies....x

1. Beautiful piece of vintage fabric
2. Four storm lanterns
3. Two scarves
4. Mac with fleurs 

The only thing lighter was my purse.....x                                                           

What I was really looking for was some beautiful picture frames, which I did see, but they were much, much too many pennies!!!!

A writing lesson in Dennistoun Public School on Meadowpark Street in 1916. The children are writing with chalk on cumbersome rotating blackboards.

I have a real obsession with vintage frame blackboards ( I made one at the weekend).

Now I want to sell them...!
