Shabby things

I decided to dig around in some of my boxes of mini goodies to see if I had any Shabby things
I found a cute litttle knitted doll and teapot cosy  made by Helen Palenski of NZ, Im sure I could use those!
and a few other things here as well mmmmm
I had all the little cat items to make a house of cats but I didn't get that organised so I just like to look at them now lol
I am sure I can use the the eggs aren't they cute and the vase and plate I luv the hot water bottle would go in very nicely!!!

"Not happy Jan!"

Shabby painting


Then I tried this one!

Been dragged behins a ttruck I think! lol
I had a hard time painting over the brown with the white and now it looks a bit think maybe Im using the wrong paint!

Shabby Chic alright lol



I thought I would make a bookcase to play around with the Shabby paintwork and I made it out of card
then I painted it pink and top coat 3 times of off white and this is how it came out

Mm Im not sure
