How exciting! We are having a garage sale....well not just us! All of Sydney in fact....actually it's on all around Australia!!

One day where everyone can get their sale on, either to make a little pocket money ( or a lot, depending on your sales skills I guess!) or to raise money for charity. A lot of schools have become involved to raise money for their community which is just fantastic.

I'd like to sell off our surplus items, some from Newfromnow, but also toys the kids no longer play with, some fabulous vintage clothes which are worn not as often as they should be and other knickknacks that we have found along the way...

I'd like to donate some of our proceeds to the Salvos, who along with all the other Australian charities, are putting in an enormous amount of work to help those families who have suffered in the bush fires. Bush fires which are still currently raging, with little relief for those fire fighters and tireless volunteers who are giving up their time to help. I am not a religious person, but hopefully someone is praying for rain... The total home loss is 200 + and counting....

So, come along on Saturday! we will be here from 9-3pm at 10 Massey Street Gladesville, hope to see you there!

Hope you have a great day!

Oh my goodness, do you ever get so excited by a finished item, you almost can't bear to part from it?

Well this is it!

My latest chair crush is a stunning antique convent prayer chair upcycled in a stunning, hand printed (!!)  modern 'Amazeing' fabric by Publisher Textiles, located in Leichhardt, Sydney.

I love the juxtaposition of the traditional chair form with the modern pattern and colour. 

The wheeled legs were reconditioned and the springs were redone, making it a supremely comfortable chair.

Now just for the matter of where to place it? Bedroom, next to a side table for a spot of reading? You choose! But I bet that everyone will comment on this stunner!
