...a swaparoo...& a vintage farm table...

...yep...in case you were wondering...you know being soooo sympathetic & all
...especially you gals sitting in oz & the u.s of a
...where one bunch of you are sitting in summer/winter...did i ever think an aussie winter was truely cold?
...& the rest of you are sweating it out in ridiculous humidity
...it's still ummmm....raining
...well there were patches of blue & the sun came out twice
...my british bestie & i ran to the garden with wines in hand
...we smiled at each other...BIG
...we woke on sunday to more rain

...B.U.T my new attitude is W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R!!

...i mean it never killed anybody
...yep..it does feel like torture of a kind i grant you
...but i still have my health...my physical health that is
...seriously border line on the mental health
...as i said torture of a kind

...anyhow....

...the kiddos & i had a few jobs up in our little high street here in our little town to knock on the head
...i had sellers of my wares to pop in & see
...we had a new cupcake shoppe to try out
...we had our dear friends & kiddos coming over for a one-pot
...& the house was in dire need of some flowers that weren't from my garden
...well mine are all a bit wet
...W.H.A.T.E.V.E.R!!

..so...

...we did the deal on the miss.sew & so wares...
...which *cleverly* means i go to the few gorgeous shops i sell through to collect my mula
...& i walk out with a *swaparoo*
...yep i see things i love...absolutely HAVE to have & i swap them for what i previously delivered!
...works for me
...not quite so much for the ol'hubby who thinks i run a brilliant buisness

...i take OUR money
...buy vintage fabric & bits
...create something lovely
...sell it {in theory}
...& then give them back the money i make for something i TOTALLY can't live without in their shops!
...so nothing actually comes home
...but the things i wanted in the first place

...he thinks i should go run his buisness

...he likes my buisness model

...because i seem to have it all!!

...women are like that in buisness- savvy & smart :)


...so a gorgeous old drop-leaf farm table for the kiddos playroom...
...a lovely old washing basket...
...& another PERFECT old white chippy chair...

...came home with us
...& some cash...
...not quite what *he* had hoped for

...but after he'd folded the washing into the beautiful old washing basket
...& after he'd had a little *smackeral* of something at the farm table
...& pulled the new white chippy chair into that moment of sunshine i was mentioning....


...he was sooo happy...
...he really loves that farm table...
...he keeps mentioning how much he loves it :) !!

...hope he loves the knob i need to buy for it from Anthropologie

...can you give me your thoughts...
...white china or clear glass knob from anthro for the drawer above??...
...i'm in two minds...

...so the weekend held a little something for everyone...
...hope yours did too...
...& thanks for your thoughts!

  2. Very cute post! I love the farm table. That was a great swaparoo! I think I would go for the white china also.

    I love reading the way you talk. It's almost like I can hear your accent in the background. It makes me smile.:)

  3. Again, beautiful pictures and I would go for the white china knob, as it would be a lovely contrast against the table. Oh, and beautiful flowers, I love vibrant colours!Lx

  4. White china. Definitely. Or try an antique market and rummage around for one that has pretty little flowers painted on it. MMx

  5. you are quite clever there miss :) I would say clear glass knob, I guess I'm going against the majority votes so far ;)

  6. You sound just like me - are you sure we aren't somehow related? For years I 'sold' art and refinished furniture at a little antique shop, but most of the time I ended up just swapping my stuff for things I liked better! Worked for me, and my long-suffering hubby just gave in and left me to it. That's probably why we're still married - it's a great business model in my opinion! Go for it I say! K xx

  7. I'm thinking your business model is just the ticket...to a happy life that is :) I like the idea of a glass knob so it can twinkle in the sunshine (when you get it!)

    ReplyDelete
  8. Whatever! Perfect attitude.
    Business model= works for me.
    New treasures = yeah, baby.
    Knob = clear glass

  9. YOU just make
    me SMILE!!!
    My mom was feeling
    your same pain in
    the Pacific NW
    earlier this summer....
    Summer just would.not.
    come!!! Just like
    you are experiencing!
    I like your attitude,
    though; and your biz
    model is the best! Look
    at those beauties that
    you scored!!! I think that
    I would go with the
    glass knob, although
    I'd have to see the other
    to really know : ) Hope
    your one-pot went well
    and sending you heaps of
    sunshine from the {now
    sunny} Pacific NW, USA!
