Another lush Shepton Mallet Flea market on Sunday.

I picked up this gorgeous Golden Bird tapestry for our living room for £50, then as we were leaving walked past this fabulous danish made tile topped mid century dinning table. It needs work so we got it for the cheaper price of £250.

More raised beds to add to the front garden which is now the ‘productive garden’. Chickens, fruits trees and veg beds. I can’t wait for spring!

We picked up these mid century Australia fabric wall hanging in Shropshire back in the summer. I’m in love with the colours in our dinning room. Created by Australia homeware graphic designer and artist Donald Clark

I painted these as a commission a few years ago on two old door panels, they were painted in isolation from each other about 6 month apart. I didn’t get to see them together until the second one was finished

One of my xmas presents this year was two of these grey corrugated metal garden beds. I can’t wait to get them planted up with this year’s veg!

We are always hunted by the thrift find we didn’t buy…why did I leave this???….oh yes, it was £1000, that’s why 😭😭

It was damn cold over the weekend so the log burner has been going, I’m so in love with it, it’s by far the best thing we bought last year. Picked up these brass cranes from a charity shop last week too.

A few recent secondhand thrifty finds! We are big of the midcentury vibe which is one of the reason we bought our 1967 bungalow 18 months ago. I’m now filling it with all manor of retro crap!

We didn’t get a lot of snow last year so our little lad is overjoyed to get it this winter…I on the other hand am counting down the days till spring!
