I have been watching kirsty Alssop doing up her holiday home .
What a lovely home it has become and today i was walking to the shop with my friend and seen a house that was being renovated and there was all this furniture in the garden,so we plucked up the courage to knock the door and ask if they were dumping it could we have some of it.
After getting up the nerve to ask there was no one in but my friend only lives round the corner from the house so she is going to go back and ask when the lady is at home.
I hope she says yes as there is a few pieces a would really love to paint and have in the garden for the summer (that's if we ever get a summer).so i will keep you posted if i am lucky, i hope i am .
I found some nice material in the charity shop and i would love to get the rocking chair the lady has out ,it has big thick cushions so i would be able to recover them .

Ive been enjoying the programme too, but there isnt much 'handmade thriftiness' going on. The handmade things are lovely, but to do most of them you would have to pay quite abit for the courses in the first place. You cant do glass blowing, stained glass and pottery at home (well you can but how many people buy a kiln to make a set of mugs or have space and money to do stained glass pictures?) I think Kirsty is fab but the programme isnt teaching me anything new, but Im still enjoying watching her renovate her beautiful home X
