Not long now until I head home to the love nest from my stint away with work. I've almost forgotten about all the lovely things we have worked hard on over the last few months at the end of our renovations. I can't wait to have tea and cake on crockery from my pretty dresser which we lovingly adopted and made over.....here are some snaps I have with me on my laptop....
I found this little old lady in a salvage yard many months ago. In fact, when I first found her she was browny beige and her back wasn't in very good shape. When I went back to visit her again and begin proceedings for adoption, I was gutted to hear someone else had bought her! They had in fact already fixed her up and painted her white. But alas, she cunningly didn't fit into their kitchen so we were lucky enough to be able to snap her up! So, with another lick of white paint and a 'team green' makeover to fit in perfectly with our other kitchen cabinets, she was ours to take home sweet home and dress to my dolls house delight...

Sharon! All I can say is I'm *so* jealous. Very jealous. But I'm happy for you! No really I am!Those teacups are unbelievable too, and the teacosy, and the teapots! Beautiful!x
Sharon, I think I am officially too green with envy to EVER come back here again... My poor Old Lady Dresser is looking a bit over the hill and senile now compared to this elegant old queen... sniff...
