Well what a glorious Sunday... I do hope it was where you were too...
I slept okay last night so was able to go to a boot-sale earlier with my ever faithful old trolley at a nice civilised 11.30am start and we found a few things...
A fabulous Regency Ware Bin... though the inside is not...
Anyone have any good tips?
I thought wire wool then spray with I'm not sure what...
Some lovely old buttons...
wooden ones
Huge mother of pearl ones..
And a rather unusual one....
And finally a rather nice large Enamel bowl...
So to the Swap...
Not a lot of takers but I have always thought Quality over Quantity so...
The pairs came out as follows:
Jo from Not tonight Josephine with Jayne from Northern Mum Down South
and
Moi with Nikki from Tales from Swallow Barn
so ladies let Swap!!
I do hope you have all survived the wind and the rain...
Hugs and smiles to all Cass xx
I always find overnight soaking in biological washing powder or nappysan solution is good for removing rust. . .It tends to seep through spray paint, but maybe you could line with wallpaper and top the paper with a sealant or varnish perhaps? Tis a lovely wastebin, shame not to be able to utilise it xx
ReplyDeleteHmmm never tried either of those for removing rust just good old elbow grease and lemon juice... Yep I thought Wallpaper and good old pva might be the way to go... Cx
DeleteYou could give the bin a true seventies feel by sticking a SPAR bag unceremoniously in it and replace as necessary! Lovely finds. I too am a sucker for seersucker (do you see what I did there?!!) - it always reminds me of short sleeved summer blouses that tie at the waist on warm Summer days - I don't think I would subject anyone to the sight of my jelly belly nowadays though (sigh) x Jane
ReplyDeleteHa Ha yes the local Spar shop... not quite the same but it is currently is wearing a Waitrose bag... I think my days of belly exposure are sadly over too Jane... smiles Cass x
DeleteI'm particularly taken with the two wooden buttons on the left. Gorgeous. The bin is a problem but I'd agree with your wire wool idea and then perhaps some Astonish? Brilliant stuff. x
ReplyDeleteThey are sweet aren't they... Not heard of Astonish but it does look interesting I'll give it a go on my enamel bowl too.. Thanks Em. Cx
ReplyDeleteGreat finds Kazz! Love the buttons and the Regency ware bin. It has such a pretty pattern!
ReplyDeleteHappy week!
