New finds!

I feel I have neglected my house these last few weeks. Its been all me me me. So this week I have had a house shopping spree.

My big purchase was this oak distressed dining table. Mr Scruff and I spotted this back in the summer at a reclaim yard. It was love at first sight. Since then we have argued over whether its size was appropriate for our space. I won. However I am not all smug. Knowing how long it has been at the yard, I went armed with my best haggling skills. I didn't get a penny off. NOT ONE PENCE. I had all the lines, all the banter and they fell on deaf years. They saw me coming a mile off. No matter I love the table and it fits absolutely perfectly in our room.



I have been rummaging through my local charity shops and found these little gems. In my fantasy life, I will serve sandwiches and homemade cakes on my kitsch plate and milk with the tea in my milk jug.


As for the copper jug, I am waiting for Spring to stuff it with geraniums. The hand painted glass bottle (which Mr Scruff thinks looks like a specimen bottle) has already lifted the room on these dull December days.
