I've been busy having fun visiting some of our local op shops recently, some I've been to before and also a couple of new places. At one of the new places the other day I spotted this mirror and just knew with a bit of paint it would be a great addition to the big girls room so today I went back to buy it, luckily it was still there.
And these lovely bits of fabric I picked up from my regular, go to op shop. The brown fabric is an old curtain, the browns caught my eye and I thought it would be perfect for a bit of wall art for my craft room. Not sure what to do with the other fabrics yet, I really like the idea of a picnic rug using vintage fabrics. I'd also really like to find some of that bright vintage fabric I've seen in blog land but I haven't had any luck yet.
Have a wonderful weekend we're off to the
Ekka. Have you got any weekend plans?

That mirror has such potential, will be beautiful with a coat of paint!! Gorgeous fabrics, I love the blue one. I've always thought a picnic rug from reclaimed sheets would be pretty too. Have a lovely weekend x

I have the exact same mirror - waiting for inspiration to strike!
ReplyDeleteGoodluck with the projects
Love the mirror, can't wait to see what you do with it but it's quite gorgeous as is. Know what you mean about the bright vintage sheets- think I have found 2 or 3, they are rare as hen's teeth. melx

ReplyDeleteThat mirror is a great find! It will look lovely painted. Looks like you had fun at the Ekka, we're avoiding it this year but I still want to at least go for a drive one night to watch the fire works.
ReplyDeleteI look forward to seeing how the mirror comes up!
ReplyDeleteCatherine, you had me at the mirror. I got one from my nanna years ago that broke in a house move. Creamy golden oval number with swirly edge. Sniff, sniff..this one is a lovely find :)
ReplyDeleteLove old mirrors, this one will make a stunning addition for your girls room.And the fabric...I am just like you struggling to find the lovely colourful ones, but I hope my swap will get me some colours?Will see?
