Pretty and Colorful

Hoping you all had a wonderful Christmas.
Today I’m enjoying being at home and photographing some new finds to share with you all. 
I found this huge basket at the thrift store just before Christmas and instantly thought of a million things to put in it. I was cleaning out the spare room wardrobe today and found a yo yo quilt my nana made years ago. Lots of color and such gorgeous vintage fabrics.  

I painted up this bistro setting all ready for a beachside balcony. 

Hope your all enjoying your Christmas New Year Break.

    What price do you have on the bistro setting? Is it at the Antique centre in Woolloongabba?

    Hey Sandy, love the new header, and your grandma's quilt is beautiful!

    Love the bistro setting, I need one of those for my beachside balcony. Actually I am just trying to convince Geoff we NEED a french dining suite for our new house…have totally fallen in love with it, he saw it today and loved it too…so I am working on it, haha! Enjoy your night tonight, I am looking forward to a bubbly in the sun at home with some friends who are passing through Port this afternoon.
