Hard Case Part 2 - Upcycling!! See what I have done

Well , I have had a successful day in finishing off a few things - so first of all here is the Old Case that I have been giving a makeover. It is so much cooler now! I have just given it a coat of gold on the inside which is still drying so I couldn't get too many more pics.

I also finished off sanding my backlog of bangles and rings - I might list them after my next market - but if you see something there you like let me know and I can list it in store for you.
And while I was waiting for my last lot of resin to be delivered which was on back order , I had some spare time...... So I made up a dolly pattern and created these little raggy dolls to go to market with me. Their cheery little faces will brighten up the table.
And another project I had on the list was finished today too - I picked up this old bath during the council verge collection (this is where everyone chucks out their junk onto the verge, incase you don't have that in your town) and I have painted it and potted it up with herbs.
this is another item I picked up from verge collection - It too is going to get a makeover!!! I will show you this when it is done :0)

The Hard Case :0)

Today is the day that I am going to show you that old case I pictured 11 days ago...You know the one that I was going to make fabulous. Well it is nearly done so later today there will be pictures...Stay tuned!

Lucky Day...

During the month of October I participated in Blogtoberfest and I discovered lots of lovely new blogs to read and entered in many wonderful giveaways. One of which was from the blog
I SPEAK MELSH by Mel, and I was lucky enough to be a runner up prize winner. Well today I got my wonderful prize and she has really excelled herself as I have been spoilt with lovely cards, notebook, craft papers, charm and chocolate!!! And it has come all the way across the globe from the UK. Thankyou so much Mel and it couldn't have come at a better time because........................


I have a project in mind!! Today I set out with the hopes of finding myself an old case that I could use to take to market to display my rag dolls in. And can you believe my luck, the very first op shop that I went to I spied it on the top shelf down the back corner, and it was just what I was looking for!!!! Sold... It doesn't look much now, but I plan to work some magic on it and decoupage it until it looks awesome. Mels papers are going to come in handy for this project.
