Found and Rescued



Recently we rescued this little green cupboard from its fate of being thrown into a skip. It is in a bit of a tatty state after being used for storage in a shed for many years, but its too sweet to throw away no? The colour is lovely and although it needs a lot of scrubbing back and rubbing down (and possibly even nailing back together in places) I am convinced we can put it to use somewhere after an intense clean and the addition of a bit of cupboard lining!

Next up this (rather French looking I think) chamber pot which is destined to have something planted in it in the garden. We are currently collecting lots of old pots and containers to plant stuff in and I think this is a suitable addition to the collection.

 I have been keeping an eye out for a set of these soup mugs for ages so I was excited to find a set for a good price and in good condition, they will definitely be put to good use in the near future.
And finally, how could we leave this fine pair of pins at the market?! I do love a novelty nut cracker!
