A candle, a tray and lots of shabby chic!

Good afternoon friends, I trust all is well with you today ? I am feeling much better too btw. thank you for all the good wishes ;)     I have been busy doing lots of decoupage  lately, thought you may want a look. Not on a card but on wood! I seem to be in a shabby chic mood lately too.

Anyway come and have a look.... I asked  my lovely uber talented OH to make me a  fat candle holder out of wood. He said he  would make me a candle in wood too ;) Warning....photo heavy!!!

I decided to do some decoupage on them  as you can see. Can you see a tray and a  placemat/large coaster too...yep he made those too!

What got me started were the cream table and chairs we bought from our neighbour. Then I needed chair cushions and a table  cloth! I went with blue and spotty...yes I know 'what no pink' you ask!!!

So I bought these ...all matching and all from different sellers too...result!

Then I got these cushions to match for our sofa,  I added the roses ones later after I did all the roses decoupage!

Our sofa is blue hence the blue spottiness theme!  My lovely OH kindly made me this tray and I tried my first bit of decoupage....hmm don't look too closely ;) Then I spied some tablemats/coasters he had made and decided to...ahem... pinch them. I  decoupaged those too!

Oops... I left my camera lens on the table!!!!

 

Here is a closeup of the tray...not great...but a first attempt ....make allowances please ;)

Here are all the mats finished!......they had large letters  on at first. My OH thought our grandchildren may like  to play with them and learn their alphabet at the same  time. Alas it was a lot of hard work so he gave up after the first few letters. Anyway now they are reborn as table mats...or large  coasters ;)

Here they are all together! These are in our large back sunlounge btw. hence my OH making me a wooden  candle instead of  me using a real one......the real ones melt as it gets so hot in there in the Summer.


Right that is all for now, we got rid of our brown  leather sofa and chair today to  a charity. We are expecting our new  corner sofa tomorrow ...at long last....9 weeks wait! So exciting!! We are sitting on an old chair and my computer  chair tonight in our lounge. Hope our new stuff arrives tomorrow!!!!!

ps. A big welcome to my latest follower Miranda  too. Welcome aboard and thanks for choosing me  to follow :)


Another card soon.......and it's a shabby chic one ...and NOT CAS...shock horror !!!!
