My new Ebay purchase


For a while now, I've wanted a dresser. Once when I was away, my husband bought a flat packed pine apothecary style chest of drawers for the dining room. It was a waste of money, the drawer fronts keep falling off and it looks ugly! So I decided to buy a solid pine dresser on Ebay and I would paint it, surely much better than what we have already. Last night I won this little beauty and I may not even have to paint it. All for a bargainous £30!
I collect it on Friday so will show you it in situ and nicely dressed in another post.

Could you tell me how you have the blogs you link to give the updates (IYKWIM)? It would be so handy knowing when peeps had updated at a glance. I want to do it that way! ;-)

That's a great buy!
Thanks for visiting my blog - hope you enjoy blogging too - you've made a great start! It's so nice to hear of people who like vintage things as most of the people I know are more modern in taste.

Welcome to Blogland...thanks for popping in to see me. I love the dresser and all your glassware finds! I have just paid £12.00 for a cake stand like your one - from an antiques centre! the maddening thing is I did have one but I decided to throw it out on a mad day of clearing-out! that was Mr N's fault!
