That drew it all out a bit didn't it. Don't think I could be bothered thinking of Christmas in the middle of winter, but what a lovely swap idea. Quite astonishing how something quite so um..er plain, can be transformed with your shabby chiccing attentions. An entirely different piece of furniture! I do hope that you manage to keep up the sunshine over your way. New growth budding on so many things here. Hundreds of violets all round my garden..so lovely. Hope you & the Furs manage to have some nice time outside this week.

You are a lucky ...Your goodies are gorgeous, Julie. You are a lucky gal. Those Santas you have stitched are gorgeous. They add such a homely and rustic feel to your lovely home.I love those 5% off days at the op shop, too. You have done wonders with the magazine rack. I can't imagine this sitting too long in your cottage; it will be snapped up in no time at all. The sight of a lick (or two or.......) of white paint on furniture that is distressed puts a little puts a smile on my dial. I love the addition of the doilies and the hearts; they finish the magazine rack perfectly. Doesn't Pippi look so comfy in that basket......as as for your Blackie.....well he has the look of one contented and mischievous cat..Kimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14782099930159071920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5802941287301708633.post-53216223616005269712015-08-02T09:58:16.707+12:002015-08-02T09:58:16.707+12:00Hello Julie, you have had a lovely swap, I do like...Hello Julie, you have had a lovely swap, I do like everything. Those little kittens are so sweet, I do hope Pippi heals quickly. The basket with blanket for kitty is a really nice idea, my basket has been empty for a long time so I will get it out and see if Ambercat would like to lie inside.

What a lovely package you've received too. I really love what you've done with the magazine rack, it's great to see something salvaged and upcycled. <br /><br />Poor, sweet little Pippi. She's such a cutie and I hope she heals soon. <br /><br /> I think Blackie's gorgeous, too. When I was a little girl I named my cat Blackie. She used to sleep on my bed at night, sometimes with her head beneath my chin, and we'd wake up in exactly the same position each morning. She gave birth to her kittens on my bed too, which, at the time, seemed really disgusting (I was about 6 or 7), so I stopped letting her into my room after that.<br /><br />Anyway, rambling aside. Such a lovely post. Enjoy your weekend! ♥Melancholy and Menacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06673612033089953330noreply@blogger.com
