Here is my little stash! I was actually very good and didn't spend a fortune, I so easily could, but tried not to go to mad. The sofa for the bridal shop, the brown leather sofa was a bargain in the £5 box (it was £17.45 on the back!!) and is for the pub. I also got lots of other little bits and bobs.
The wall unit is for upstairs in the village hall and the dresser is for the vicars house. The wall fountain was only £2 so I am sure that will go somewhere!
The doll was only cheap at under £5 but she was quite pretty and had really nice hair! The dress is pretty but not really modern enough so will redress her. She also had these huge white plastic shoes lol which looked so out of scale but underneath her feet were fine so will make her some new ones!
I had fun yesterday unpacking my purchases hoping everything was right for its new home! I had been after a little chair or sofa for the bridal shop for a while. I did buy a lovely chaise but it was really a bit big. I spotted this and loved the sat on look of the cushions so decided to go for it! It was a little dearer at £8.95 but I just knew it would be just what I needed. I would say this was my WOW item the one thing thats a bit special and a little bit more expensive although saying that it wasn't exactly expensive for a handmade item!!!
Its just right! Not too big so its overpowering the space. It will be a nice comfy spot for weary Mothers while they are waiting!
I had also been on the look out for a nice dark wood dresser for the vicars house that wasn't too big and this one was just perfect. Its just the right size, shame I forgot to look for some crockery for it! I will have to go shopping in Wishes and Dishes for some!
I also put in a lovely green sofa that my good friend Deb sent me. I do love this house its different from my others its not so cluttered and it just has a real calmness to it! I figure a vicar wouldn't have a house full of 'stuff 'so I am trying to keep it a little more basic!
The heater was a great little buy at £1.50 and was on my list so Holly didn't freeze while modelling! I also picked up the little box of art materials as it was only £1.75.
Finally heres Kelly the new doll redressed in her new outfit. I bought the gorgeous cardi of Deb a while ago and didn't have anyone to put it on so its just been on display in the knitting shop. I decided to put it on her for now as its still a bit cold down on the beach! I chopped the bottoms off some bratz cream jeans to go with it and she still needs shoes lol. She will prob end up in some kind of surfer outfit as she look like shes prob more at home on the beach than in the shops!
Great buys Paula, especially like the sofa, doll and parrot. Glad to see Holly has a heater now, lol.
