my latest thrifty buys

 i picked up this wooden cutlery tray for £1 at the thrift store down the road from where i live i gave it a few coats of farrow and ball egg shell paint, then i sanded it and stenciled on the word cutlery, the i rubbed over the writing again with some sandpaper, i lined the inside of the tray with dictonary pages. the got 5 of the little glass bottles for £ from a thrift store to.

 i saw these scales at the recycling centre at the tip, and new they would great with a bit of spray pain, they were only a couple of ponds, i also picked up the tin of farrow and ball paint there, some one had thrown away a tin of it there was still  3 1/4 of paint it the tin (how wasteful for them, but how great for me lol). i also found this large gold frame so i gave that a lick of paint to, but im still undecided what to do with it, i thought about putting it on my mantle wall with my white twig wreath hung inside it or maybe i could attach lines string to the back and use it as peg notice board. if you can think of any great ideas for it let me know? because its stood against the fire place at the moment crying out to be used lol.

 i also got this vintage lace crochet throw for £5.99 its huge i think im going to cut it up and make it in to some other things
