The run has been lucrative recently. I've had a wonderful couple of weeks scouting good stuff from hard rubbish.
This office chair is Swiss made. It does have a little worn patch on one arm but I'm not at all concerned about that & if I do decide it warrants patching...I've bookmarked this.
The cushion is by Aunty Cookie. You can buy them ready made or buy the letterhead craft panel & you'll be able to make your own & a glasses case too.
with feeling.
I've been slowly collecting from Etsy for the new ranch (if it ever starts). I've been buying from artists I "know". Please Sir had some good stuff to say on this subject.
I purchased these from Bricolagelife. I love them & today on the run I picked up this old cupboard door from the hard rubbish.
I like it, I think that the frame honours the creator. I'm pretty confident she'll be happy with my choice.
I'm just trying to figure out how to "adhere" them without spoiling the beautiful images.
