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

Purchases via Blogs

I love it when you find just what your looking for.... This is what I knew when I received my latest purchase found via a lovely lady, Pamela of Mountain Living. This gorgeous cushion cover has been beautifully made by Pamela and I think its perfect for my linen wingback chair. It seems this chair has featured in a few posts and will be in more to come - I know Im obsessed with her!

I love the french pom poms!!

Esquisitely made

beautifully wrapped I left it for a few moments before opening...

For me, the reverse side, divine paisley

You can visit her ebay store missgingham for various other designs. Her store and blog are well worth a look.
Thank you Pamela, the cushion will be treasured for a very long time...

Also a little while back I purchased some tags and magnets from Michelle @  The Paper Tree Design, and featured them in a post with some other purchases. Her items are great quality, super stylish and very reasonable. I knew I wanted something to label my storage baskets  (purchased for $6 each and fitting perfectly in the old shelf unit) and these were perfect. Instead of using all of the tags for gifts I have used some of them here ...

the owl is just one of six various designs in the packet

'A little birdie told me'

Hope you are all having a great weekend.
