Upcycling
As much as possible we like to keep antique
and vintage pieces as near original as we can.
Sometimes though.....
Well....you get my point
So..... then we like to give things a helping hand.
We paint and decorate with decoupage, using 19th-century images.
Here's what we did with those vintage enamel buckets and tubs.
sometimes we gild and then decoupage
we start with this
and wind up with this
lots of work yes...but satisfying
and sometimes I get help.....
and sometimes I don't.
We do the same work on bamboo
and chests of drawers
that start out like this
and end up like this
they've also been on the 4th floor of Liberty London
and in magazines
So we are pretty chuffed.
oh by the way

Arundel Stuff
Arundel is the most beautiful town on the south coast of England.

We are lucky enough to live and work there.
Every morning Elsa and I do a different walk...
sometimes along the riverbank....
by the way
this is Elsa
just over a year old...nearly lost her...to a grass seed that went into her leg and migrated to her spine
Scary.
She couldn't walk at one point.
Or feed herself.
Or even lift her head.
Just the slightest flick of the tail.
Look at her now.
Here's her story

sometimes in the hills...
or Arundel park
If you've never been to Arundel it's well worth a visit.
This weekend we have Arundel By Candlelight.
Here's all the details.
We will be open.
Pop round to the warehouses
behind Arundel Co-op and say hello.
