Before and After #5 & Purchases

I never intended to take a break from posting, it simply happened. Quite honestly I havent felt like it, no excuses, must have just needed the break. I have still as always been reading all of your lovely inspirational posts, though not always having left a comment. So please know they are read and enjoyed by me always....
I had a lovely fellow blogger comment and ask if I was going ok - this made me feel missed which was very nice, and quite special. (Thank you Maureen) So Im back on track and have had a growing list of items to post about.
This table I purchased on ebay for $18......
BEFORE

AFTER

I forgot to take a picture before and realised part way through after sanding and applying the base.




Sanded the edges to look slightly rustic as its in the spare room where I think it suits this look (my sons old room)





Quite happy with the result

Also have a few thrifty finds (will link up with Thrifty Tuesday next week), and purchases.
Here are some of them......
                                  This duck egg blue jug with brown flecks for just $5


This gorgeous boudoir chair I will put in my bedroom eventually $57 on ebay

The storage jar/canister with lid from an op shop for $3, the candy bowl on left I will put mini pears in (posted previously about this one $3)
Hope you all have a lovely week

  4. Oh you're a girl after my own heart with all you latest finds! Smart savvy shoppers unite! :-)

    Love everything you've bought, isn't ebay fantastic? Your table makeover is brilliant, white is definitely the colour of choice!

    I know what you mean about needing a rest from blogging it can be wonderful but a bit demanding on the commenting front which I'm getting worse and worse at, oops!

  17. Hopefully you were able to enjoy the break and I think we all look, but don't always comment. It is very time consuming and sometimes the computer isn't co-operating. I love your new/old goodies.
