I've got a similar one I bought years ago which wasn't in great condition so I used that Scumble Glaze and quite liked the result. Ebay is great for drawer handles, you'll find some in no time. xxxVixhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05263970600699632661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2825061743534929555.post-79064417331000700832016-03-26T14:15:09.400-07:002016-03-26T14:15:09.400-07:00Commented earlier but was thinking crystal knobs m...Commented earlier but was thinking crystal knobs mught look goid on top drawer allowing reuse of the ones not missing.

I see potential in all sorts of things. So have to deal with what I can do. I buy velvet curtains when I see them in the Charity shops or the car boots. I love going to those as well but OH not so keen. I then re-purpose the fabric in either recovering furniture or in making cushion covers or cushion cover backs. I noticed when I was in Wilkinsons the other day that they are starting to do the feather blanks for cushions amongst other things. You can also get them from Dunhelm or John Lewis. Shabbie you have some lovely finds there. I like the dressing table. I think you and Scarlet really ought to join forces as you both have some lovely ideas. What are your plans for it. It will look lovely I am sure. I am collecting vintage green glass at the moment. I have a very large pine dining table that seats 8 and being as I cannot always find what I am looking for new I collect bits and make a set either matching or two or three different styles mixed together. I love cake stands and fruit bowls vintage pieces as they really do make the dinner or tea table stand out. Some nice finds with the meat there as well. Some nice substantial meals there. I have some minced pork that I bought from the Polish shop £3.49 a kg. I intend to make some small pork pies and pop them unfrozen in the freezer for OHs pack ups. They have chicken livers every so often so when I see them next I will buy some in for making some pate. It freezes quite well.<br /><br />Look forward to your update with the dressing table.<br /><br />Take care.<br /><br />Pattypan<br /><br />xPattypanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10533048669555871726noreply@blogger.com
