I have acquired these two trios via my mother, many thanks!!! They are both Royal Albert Gossamer pattern and made in the fifties she said.x x x x
Then in a quick visit to Oxfam I found this piece of fabric....I had no idea what I would use it for, and thought it would make some nice cushions, but I just had to have it as it had roses on, so home it came with me x
Then my better half came home with two directors chairs, saying he picked them up for me so I could recover them with a Union Jack or something!!!
And a light bulb went off in my head...Rosie director chairs!!! More sewing though!!!!!!!!
The Better Half also came home with this beautiful mirror.....But and this makes me laugh, as the lady who used to live here before me said, my house attracts mirrors!!! At the time I laughed inside and said what mumbo jumbo!!! But it does!!!! People have remarked that I own a lot of mirrors and we have have sold quite a few that we have acquired since we have lived here!!!! So I have no room for this beauty and she is destined for someone else out there, she would look lovely painted white a la shabby chic. x x x
see you soon x x x x
Hello Ms Jinks! I am back from hols and just checking out your amazing blog before I head off to Green Park Station Market in Bath. I am in awe of your china and your obvious handicraft skills (and very good taste). I will be emailing you next week, once I've spent the weekend soaking up this glorious English sunshine - might have to have tea in the garden tomorrow!! With full china of course xx

ReplyDeleteHey Ms Jinks, glad it is all going well. If you get a mo (and feel that way inclined) you wouldn't let me into the secret of cake-stand making would you? I know how to drill the holes but don't know where to buy the bits in between. If you could email me your trade secret I would be so grateful! Also want to ask you to look out for something for me - shall I email you? x
