Snowy Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Lovely site! Had to laugh at the painted scrubbing brushes and dolly pegs 'for decorative use only' Since when??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 Thanks for that Laura, I do like those signs, although I'm not sure about some of the more decorative stuff - if it's not functional, then... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fairy&cake Posted January 17, 2008 Author Share Posted January 17, 2008 yes i know! silly isnt it! The sign just rang CLARET! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Dogmother Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 You're very right about the sign though - I admire thrifty people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jomaxsmith Posted January 17, 2008 Share Posted January 17, 2008 I look at all that sort of stuff and wonder what possesses people to buy a few wooden spoons or pegs that have been painted and tied together with a ribbon. More money than sense or a deep, unfulfilled love of clutter? And more to the point, why didn't I have the idea of doing it so I could make some money?! The signs are quite cool, but very unsuitable for the minimal lines of my decor (i.e moved in 4+ years ago and all the pictures and ornaments are still in boxes in the loft!)

craftyhunnypie Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 I like the eggs sign, but the rest are just pointless dust collectors. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlottechicken Posted January 19, 2008 Share Posted January 19, 2008 Hmm there are some interesting ideas for home made stuff on there. I have a friend who really likes that style too! Thanks for the link Laura (it's now in my favourites ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
