Pre-Easter treat.....

A pre-Easter treat for me....a gorgeous hare cushion, bought from a local decorative antique shop in Brampton, Cumbria. Owned by the lovely Carol.... Moat Antiques ( the painted building ) used to be a garage slap bang on what used to be the main route from Carlisle to Newcastle before the town was by- passed many years ago.

Full of painted and traditional furniture mixed with useful decorative pieces....

Whitewashed walls and the most fabulous flagstone floor provide a great setting for her tasteful arrangement of interesting stock.

Meanwhile, I have been a little busy preparing for four Fairs coming up over the Easter period.

So....taking advantage of this lovely sunshine, I have painted, sanded and polished... and have now amassed a good collection of stock for the next week or so.

A compact kitchen table and chairs collection painted in Charleston Gray over Off White (F and B of course)

Ideal for a small kitchen....

A versatile, pine side table with drawer painted in Downpipe....would be good as a side table, dressing table or even a desk.
The stool is painted in the last little bit of Annie Sloan French Linen...looks like I am going to have to order some more.

An octagonal mirror painted and distressed in F and B French Gray...

Two framed pieces of the last of my French toile.....

A decorative frame, a lamp to re-wire and three Laura Ashley paisley style cushions with tassels....

Another Georgian country chair....

And my favourite find of the week...

A wonderfully heavy, Victorian frame with a sepia photograph of a distinguished bearded gentleman.
Love him!

Hope you are all taking advantage of this lovely weather..... enjoy your Easter break x

Bye for now,
