I'm not claiming to be the worlds greenest person but I think every little helps and this tip sure does save on cleaning up. Milk cartons used for paint pots, there easy as that. Come on you lazy lot :)

Well I was sad to see my #foreign students leave me the other week but they were kind enough to get me a small but thoughtful gift. Here is a stunning puzzle uncut for display in the theme of shabby chic. It displays a beautiful #cottage with trees, #blossom and #flowers, so #shabbychic and so #cute :)

Little touch of Thailand

OK so my blog is a little over due, but its been manic.... now I'm back from Thailand after a short visit to see family in Rome and I can finally start the new year. Rome was beautiful as always but a little understated unlike the British which go all out and perhaps sometimes a little OTT. Shabby Chic in Thailand however is non existent from what I have seen and will remain I feel more Shabby than chic but in a good way. I have added a beautiful basket from Koh Chang in Thailand, which has been decorated using the decoupage method (which we will be doing a course on, workshop 2) lovely example (probably imported). Just a quick note, our first 2 courses this year are fully booked with over 20 people in each class, our promotion will be only be running up until the end of Jan when it will go back to its original price so book fast. We have some space left in our February workshops. Enjoy !!!
