http://ayeardowntheline.blogspot.com/2014_08_01_archive.html
A Year Down the Line (well 7 years now) A new chapter. Monday, 11 August 2014. We have had a lovely week with our first visitors. Couldn't have been more appreciative and helpful. They heaved furniture willingly, made and cleared up meals, took us out to dinner and taught me how to paint furniture. And they are lovely people too. All the painting we did was with Annie Sloan chalk paint from http:/ www.thomasandlucia.com. And the orangey pine of this mirror. What shall I paint next . Every day's a holiday.

Brocante Vintage: November 2011
http://brocante-vintage.blogspot.com/2011_11_01_archive.html
Beautiful French and Vintage Treasures. Friday, 4 November 2011. When you sell an item, it’s all very exciting – receiving that email or call from your customer stating that they are interested in your item. As I do not have a shop at present and am 32 weeks pregnant this is not the right time to start to set up shop (which I would dearly love), so with most of my items they are sold through eBay or Gumtree. Then our second item to be shipped off was a delightful pine farmhouse table with white washed wi...

Beautiful French and Vintage Treasures. Friday, 22 August 2014. Brocante Finds at the Fairs. Hello, i'm back with a quick article on some lovely antique furniture items I found on our last Brocante trip to France. I found a few things to sell but ended up finding lots that I wanted to keep for Ayla's room and furnishing our house. We found a lovely antique wardrobe which I have painted using Annie Sloane chalk paint and lightly distressed. A small table - again very small, not sure where this will go yet?

Beautiful French and Vintage Treasures. Monday, 28 October 2013. Restoring our Victorian Home (1). Restoration project part (1). After the move to our Victorian home in August of this year we decided that we would try to restore as best we could our home to its former glory. I am not liking the way the house is at the moment! Having my own interior style, very much inspired by Nina Hartman I was very keen to get cracking, BUT before we could get to the. Wet Rot - we like not! I cannot highly recommend en...

Beautiful French and Vintage Treasures. Tuesday, 9 July 2013. My French Brocante Buying Trip #2. Off to France we go, this time without my little Ayla - and for only 24hrs!

After a two hour drive to New Haven ferry port we waiting patiently in the cue to board the ferry (. Which was now running 30 minutes late. Fast forward a 4 hour ferry crossing and ...

Stitching,Cats and Chickens: December 2012
http://stitchingcatsandchickens.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Stitching,Cats and Chickens. Thursday, 13 December 2012. I do have to confess to a serious addiction. Let me say, it doesn't do any harm, (apart from to my credit card) and it doesn't make me a bad person! I am addicted to fabric! It is quite true to say that I can sniff out a fabric shop at 50 paces. There happens to be. A Military Air Museum! Well, I have to confess to enjoying that particular jaunt more than I thought I would - or was it the bacon butty with a mug of tea in The Mess? Last Friday, we h...
