I've spent this morning playing with my dresser. Putting new things on display and sighing at their loveliness. Everything but two of the things, on the dresser came from either a charity shop or car boot sale. The dresser itself was free from Freegle.
Pretty, pretty china. The mosaic box in the bottom of the picture was one of my first bargain finds at a charity shop. It was brand new and made by Sia. It had an original shop sticker on the bottom for £16. I got it for a mere £3. It now stores some of the Big Man's many card readers, USB stick things and leads!
The cake slice was a birthday present from a dear friend. I came home one day to find a surprise package on my doorstep. She has a tendency to turn up unannounced at my doorstep with presents.
The single cake stand in the middle was one of my first crafty makes. A charity shop vintage plate and glass vase, with a bit of Pinflair glue and I had me my first cake stand. My cake stand collection has kind of grown since then. They are kind of haphazardly piled on top of each other on another cupboard. I have vowed never to buy another cake stand. Promise!
The tea cups are some of my many tea cups. I think I'll have another play in a couple of weeks and get my other tea cups out of storage.
So what do you do when the kids are at school?

It looks beautiful and do you know what's great, it's totally unique to you, much superior than the flat-pack. xx
ReplyDeleteIt looks gorgeous Madison and must feel so satisfying that you did it all yourself. Well done xx
ReplyDeleteI want to come round and play with your toys! All so pretty and v jealous of the free dresser, ive got my eye on one on ebay at the moment so keeping my fingers crossed :o) Scarlett x
ReplyDeleteLooks really lovely Madison, and it is such fun arranging it as well.
ReplyDeleteMadison - your dresser is gorgeous, what a brilliant Freegle score - so jealous! And a load of beautiful pretties too. (man stuff and cables are the bane of my life, I need a far bigger box than that!)
ReplyDeleteWhen boy2 is at nursery I'm normally making the dinner and messing about on blogger or writing my own - the housework is suffering!

ReplyDeleteYour little dresser is lovely. So nice you found it free! Love your pretty things you put in it too. I was a little sad when my last son went to kindergarten last fall and I refinished a chest. LOL
