I spotted this heart shaped red wire bowl in my local charity shop a few days ago. It goes perfectly with the colour scheme in our dining room, and it's sitting in there now filled with rosy red apples and nectarines.
Fruit is always out in our house and Ruby is encouraged to help herself to it whenever she wants, so it's always nice to find a way to make it look even more appealing. Previously it's been held in a huge rustic wooden bowl on the dining table.
In karmic fashion, a day or two later I spotted this propped up in the window of another charity shop. A beautiful wooden heart shaped cheese board. It slides open to reveal some cheese knives, and for a family of cheese monsters, it's perfect! I love the grain of the wood too.
So what second-hand treats have you found lately? I'd love you to grab the badge and link up below.
Oh my I love that board!I really must get my arse in gear and start joining in again.
ReplyDeleteI'd love to have you join in Aly x
DeleteNumerous charity shops near me, but never find anything more than a couple of books, or nice items that my OH would kill me if I brought home ('more junk'). I did get a brilliant huge Fort Eagle Playmobil set from a selling site - was a bargain compared to the original price, and I knocked them down a bit, but still quite pricy.
ReplyDeleteWow the Playmobil set sounds amazing Emma x
DeleteOh I adore the bowl! DD is currently having a bedroom upgrade and red and hearts are part of her theme!
ReplyDeleteNow that's a daughter's bedroom theme I can approve of. Fancy having a word with mine who wants a One Direction theme bedroom?! She's too young for pop starts posters *sobs*
