New Things at Little Birds Market






Hi guys!

Here are the pictures from the Little Birds Market earlier this month.  It was held inside Sloans Bar and restaurant, which has a wee ballroom!  Who knew!  It was a really nice day, hanging out with my two buddies Jo and Candace.  We talked mince, ate cakes and charmed the public.

Along with me I took:

A very large ottoman painted in grey and green and lined on the inside with British designer wallpaper.  Its a stunning chunk of wood, and it is currently gracing the window of Friday Street in Portobello.
A really cool cabinet with sliding glass doors and green highlights inside and out.  This one is super retro, not my usual style, but very fun to do!
A very cute little Ercol style chair that I picked up and painted blue.  It had a really rotten seat on it, so I reupholstered it with a grey suit wool that I found at the Borders Scrap Store in Musselburgh.
A tiny wee kidney bean shaped table that I painted lemon yellow and varnished (I dont usually varnish furniture, but this was in a chronic bad state!).
And finally, a selection of cushions.  My Russian Dolly ones, and Julia Laing of Materialised's Bunny Cushions.  Thanks Julia!

It was a good day, and I met some really smashing folk.

Watching "Lost In Translation" tonight.  Bill Murray for the win!

Be Good!
