Its a decoupage chair that I have been working on over the last week. I don't know where to put it though!
It was a dark oak farm house chair. I got 6 of them off ebay for a tenner. One is pink, one is duck egg and I did a patchwork decouage one this week. It took a while, and I roped my sister into cutting the paper for me. Its wrapping paper that I used. I don't think I let it dry out long enough and I have a couple of tiny gaps showing the dark wood. It's not perfect but looks a lot better than dark wood.
We have had some lovely weather this week, and I have been off. I gave myself 2 weeks off to celebrate my birthday, which was on Tuesday. To be honest it was the best present I got. My OH wasn't very imaginative. The same Clinque goodies as last year, and Christmas, a cake decoration set- which I have, and a £50 voucher for Top Shop.....er I was 32 I don't shop in Top Shop! Luckily my SIL got me a lovely Laura Ashley picture frame, & my sister got me a decorative birdcage & doorstop. I got money from everyone else, which I am going to put towards some new lenses for my camera.
Here is my fave shot of H when we enjoyed the sun on Monday.
Happy Spring to you all. It's been a long time coming!

Hi just found your blog and how spooky as Ive just blogged about my decoupaged chairs! :o) Scarlett x
Oh wow, love the chair. This is the second decoupaged chair I've seen, the first being Scarlett's. I really must get my finger out and get doing something similar. I started collecting flower catalogues, would you believe, in order to do one of our chairs but I've never got round to it!
Love your green collection in a previous post.
That looks fab - you certainly can't see any dark patches from your photos. I saw Scarlett's too and am now feeling distinctly underwhelmed with the chair I'm sitting on at the moment!
That picture of your boy is gorgeous, he's obviously loving the sun - happy Spring indeed.
Anyway, I am another vintage, thrifting, crafting and carbooting type so I thought I'd say hi, and am now following your blog

What do I think? I think I love it.
