Eventually got my paperwork in some sort of order. Real lesson for this year not to get it in such a mess, after all it should'nt be that difficult I am not John Lewis!!!!Started stock taking today and there are some lovely pieces of furniture in the shop. Just forwarded photos and details to Taff of furniture to go for sale on the website as he says I can have more than the 6 I have been doing which is great news as can have cushions and more mirrors etc. on there.
Had a good morning at the auctions last week. Bought a fabulous georgian table, about 4' with rounded ends and fluted legs with its casters, will look brilliant painted. Also a pretty edwardian table and lovely pine wall corner cupboard, make a great bathroom cupboard or pretty in a sitting room or bedroom.
Really exciting news before Christmas was that we had bought the little chapel in the front of our garden. It is a baptist chapel and over the years we have been here they have had occasional services but very few and they have a very good chapel in the next village. It is listed and is the smallest chapel in the country with a balcony. We are not sure what we will do with it at the moment and it does need quite alot of work doing. Looking forward to getting out there with my paint brush and tidy the front as it looks very sad and unloved at the moment.
Had a very quiet couple of weeks and lots of walks with Hattie having time to visit my dear dear friend who is poorly at the moment. Sorting out new dates for the workshops to start in the spring and will get those on the website asap. Lots of lovely things to paint and having had a break really enthusiastic to get started again soon. The Garden Room is closed at the moment as I want to have lots of new things painted and a spring clean and fresh look so hope to open again beginning of March but do give me a call if you are looking for something specific and come over and have a browse.
