I've never done anything like this before and have had such a fab time.  I love everything I've made and hope that the people that buy them love them just as much as me!

Vintage Linen Box

Remember yesterday I posted about revamping and had made a start on cleaning an old wooden "bath box".

Well that dirty old box ......

Has had a new lease of life.....

I've made a lovely new padded top for it and painted it nice and white.  It's soooooo beautiful but : (  (sad face) I don't think I am keeping it I think it will be going to the shumble sale.  And the other box that I had finished has already gone to a new home too!

On a brighter note I put some bids in at the auction yesterday and managed to win 5 of the lots which we picked up today in my lunch break.

(Here's one of the boxes)

I haven't really managed to have a good look at what I bought but have managed to spruce some vintage cutlery up which was looking dirty and tarnished.

(Made by Christopher Johnson & Co in Sheffield)

 

And I found an old mould right at the bottom.....

Have a good bank holiday for those in the UK and a fab weekend to everyone x x x

A bit of revamping!

T'other night hubby was wallpapering the stairs and to not feel left out I had a peep in the garage at some of the things that had followed me home from an auction last month.

I got some hot water and soapy suds and got to work!!!!!!!

I gave this old vintage bath box a good old scrub ready for a repaint (will let you know how it looks when its finished).  Then moved on to the next project.

I got this as part of an auction lot (it came with the box above) and was not entirely sure I actually wanted it.  But after buying a staple gun from the car boot at the weekend I wanted something to practice on.  I got a few bits of fabric from my stash and set to work.........

I managed to line the inside and am pretty impressed with my first go!!!!!

 

 

The end product what do you think?  I can't believe it's actually the same box : )
