Lovely stuff:


This week has been a good one, I am off crutches, out of my boot and will be driving very soon.

For a long while i have wanted a bureau, and now i am in my new house i have space for one.
Today i spotted one on freecycle and have just come back from picking it up!! I have given lots of things on freecycle but this is the first thing i have ever got myself - i love it. It needs a clean and i will be painting it white of course:




I have also recently won two giveaways.

The first from Sew Ray Me :
I love the little bag it all came in, there were also some safety pins and needle (already in use) and a lovely little homemade lavender hanging (that i forgot to photograph, and again, already in use):



And the second is Bee Happys ribbon giveaway:



Thank you ladies, these hugely cheered me up.

Please go visit both these ladies gorgeous blogs.

your almost home and dry, well done!
I have never 'done' Freecycle but sounds like a great idea and the bureau will look great when painted white.

Hope you are doing well with your foot! And wow, what a stunning bureau you got! Can't wait to see it with the white treatment ;)
Thanks for commenting about my pencils- yes, they're absolutely fantastic (I have noticed only now I've used the word 'incredible' 5 times on my post!!!:)))I have now edited it... maybe I sounded a bit too thrilled for them... Hehe.
Have a nice rest of the day,
