I seem to have found my calling in life and it all started with an old table I found in a shed. I decided to give it a Shabby Chic look so off I went to Homebase and bought myself some Farrow & Ball White paint and some sand paper.
After much sanding I finally got it to the state I wanted it.
Then I painted it, I gave it a few coats and sanded the areas where there could have been wear and tear to give it a Vintage look then slapped some wax on and was very pleased with the result.

And After....
So with my new found skill I have gone from strength to strength and am in the process of setting up another website called "Vintage Cat", which will include the furniture that I am working on at the moment plus the Lilyesque Jewellery and my husband will be doing a section on Iconic Memorabilia and Americana, so its all very exciting. Watch this space!!
We were lucky enough to get ticket to see Eddie Izaard in Manchester on the Force Majeure Tour last Friday. We have been huge fans for a very long time and he definitely didn't disappoint, he was hilarious. He does a whole 20mins on dressage and at one point I was crying with laughter.
We went to Waxy O'Connors for something to eat first and was not impressed with a) the service (slow even though there was hardly anyone in the place)and b) the food, the burger tasted as though it had been cooked earlier and then warmed up, so will not be going there again. Which is a shame because we were frequent visitors to the Waxy's in Dubai when we lived there and the service and food were fantastic.
