Some moody blues for you - the first image is torn from a magazine. How gorgeous is this blue and white furniture? The pattern would work equally well adapted for needlepoint or knitting, even embroidery - imagine white thread on a cobalt blue background. Of course, if you're really talented you could paint your dining room chairs and make new fabric seats for them ... but I'm not that gifted ...
Next up is some handsome kitchen paraphenalia. I love Cornishware, the chunky shapes and utility-style lettering. The McDougall's flour bin was a lucky charity shop find for two or three pounds, while the bread bin (just seen in the corner)was unearthed in TK Maxx. (It usually contains oat cakes and Ryvita, but very rarely bread!)
On the subject of TK Maxx, it's a strange shop. Sometimes you go in and its full of tat you wouldn't give house room to, while other times there're plenty of discounted bargains to snap up.
I treated myself to a couple of Monsoon pillowcases today, reduced from £11 to £3. Not that I've got any other blue bed linen. Hmm, maybe another shopping trip is called for?
I don't think I'd ever pay £11 for a single pillowcase. Would you?
And finally ... a blue and white (and little splash of pink) cushion cover.
