Can you believe it's been a year since this incredible transformation? This remains one of my favourite commissions! The combination of the deep green, rich walnut, and those two stunning wallpapers is just timeless.

THANK YOU 🥳 You were spot on!!

What are the chances of these items still being on the shelves weeks later?! It was obviously waiting to be reunited! 😍 Now I just need to see if I can find the fondue forks!

Did you guess it was a fondue stand??

JUST CALL ME CALAMITY JANE 🫣😭😭

For someone as clumsy as me, I really shouldn’t be around f breakables 😂 If you want to see what my sacrificial offering to the thrift gods was (and the rest of an EPIC house clearance haul), then head on over to my YouTube channel to watch my latest video 📺

It is SO SATISFYING to see a crusty dried up piece of wood brought back to life 😍 NEVER pass up on wood items just because they look like they’ve come straight from the Sahara desert - it’s easier thank you think to revive them! 🤩

What do you use to on your wood pieces? I’ve also used Howard’s Feed n Wax and Furniture Care Wood Wax and Polish with the same success (those are both orange scented too!) 🍊

Just remember to use food safe products if you plan on using it to serve or display food 👍

Are you superstitious when it comes to thrifting?! I mean, COME ON, how can I not be after finding this?! 🍀🤯

That has gone straight into my “thrifting” bum bag which I take when I got to boot sales or round charity shops…let’s hope it keeps bringing in the good luck!! ❤️

Have you had any similar experiences whilst thrifting? Let me know, I’d love to hear them👇

These were some of my favourite treasures that went live on the website last week 😍 Scroll to see more and let me know which is your favourite! 👉👉

A rectangular planter box with a bold, embossed ivy leaf design against a beautifully stippled background. It has a wonderfully aged patina giving it that irresistible warm, burnished glow of vintage copper.

A set of six H&R Johnson featuring a vibrant, stylised Art Nouveau floral pattern with beautiful pink blooms and sweeping organic green stems….perfect for a fireplace or a bespoke splashback project 😍

A solid brass Windsor Castle plaque that has been beautifully cast with incredible depth, showing the iconic Round Tower and boats gliding along the River Thames 🏰

A beautiful Bristow studio pottery salt pig hand painted with a bold and vibrant hand-painted fuchsia pattern. It brings an instant pop of quirky, country-house character to your worktop 🌸

A quirky pair of kidney-shaped Portuguese majolica dishes offering a brilliant splash of vibrant green against a crisp white background…these have already sold!! 🥳🥳

An incredibly rare 1905 miniature souvenir booklet from the Lewis & Clark Centennial Exposition in Portland, Oregon. This quirky fold-out booklet opens to reveal stunningly detailed black-and-white photographs of the exhibition’s grand architecture! 🏢

A charming brass crocodile plus he’s a fully functional nutcracker! With his wonderfully textured scales and burnished brass finish, he would look great on top of a stack of vintage books! 🐊

A kinetic owl wall hook so when you pull down the lower hook to hang your favourite scarf, the owl’s detailed wings spring outwards in a playful, kinetic display!🦉

An authentic 1903 antique Burleigh lidded tureen, complete with the most beautiful Art Nouveau sweeping handles and cheeky splashes of burnished gilt ✨

It was a scorcher at the boot sale this morning 🥵☀️BUT for the first time in AAAAAGES, I had to go back to my car to unload my trolley half way round! SO MANY TREASURES! 🤩

The bigger bits are for my booth at and planning on getting the rest onto the website over the next few weeks.

Let me know what’s caught your eye from this haul!! 👀

Did you guess right?! 🫣 I spotted this at the back of a shelf, and something about it made me think it was a possible glower.

This particular colour is called custard glass and this bowl is made by Heisey glass and dates from….🥁🥁🥁1890!! I am always so amazed when I find pieces that have survived over a century - what a life it’s lived! ❤️

WHAT IS IT?! Honestly, this had us stumped! If it’s a plant hanger, why is there the pot holder thing underneath, AND WHAT IS THAT LITTLE COPPER POT AT THE BACK FOR? We were having a good giggle trying to figure it out 🤣 It’s probably super obvious if you know BUT I DON’T KNOW 🤷‍♀️🤣
