One person's trash, as the saying goes, is another person's treasure.
I have a love for old vintage pieces, these are not always expensive pieces but beautiful pieces that could tell a story or two that have been cherished and loved and have lived a life somewhere long ago.
So instead of heading to the town shops, try an old market or a garage sale or even a second hand shop.
I love to rummage through an op shop and find old cutlery, fine bone china tea cups and vintage fabrics which look great transformed into cushion covers.
Many a time when I have been to a market I have wished I had bought a bigger bag or a cart with wheels on it.
Some pieces will be welcomed as they are but others will need tender loving care or in need of some urgent repairs.
There is no other feeling like the one of achievement after restoring something old and shabby
back to beautiful piece that will be cherished and loved.
Be inspired...............
