So nice to meet Chance CC.  Are you going to cover the stool too, what are you going to do with the wicker box?  The jam jars are interesting and I'm sure you will pick enough flowers from your garden to fill the vase.  Glad you didn't come home empty handed.

Oops I forgot to put the stool I bought it in the picture.This one is already finished,DH made the frame and turned the legs,I just upholstered it.Believe it or not there is 9kg of hair stuffed in it  :o. The jam jars are to be filled with goodies then given away as presents.The wicker basket I thought could hold my TM books ;) ;)

He's a fully trained Springer Spaniel who just did as he was told.I would love to say that we trained him but all the work was done by my nephew. :D :D

When I was in the UK we went to a car boot sale, I was so tempted by a jug that looked similar to yours, I thought I would end up with excess baggage and left it there. So many lovely old things avail. You did well.

Same.
I have an old Grandma chair that the cats have destroyed!  I would love to learn how to upholster, and fix it up.
Did you teach yourself Denise?  I would imagine it to be much harder than it looks.
Chance is adorable too  8)

I bought a butter bell from ebay:

Cost $39.80 including postage from USA.  They do have them in other colours, and some with a pretty leaf and vine design on them.
