Our latest bargain!

Yes, we do love our weird and wonderful things. Right now we are very much into retro stuff - mainly furniture, and we couldn't resist buying this dining table (with matching chairs) when we saw it in Steptoe and Son. Apparently, the design dates back to the late 1940's - early 1950's and the seats are covered in the original vinyl. I also scored a cushion in the weekend that matches my flowery retro lampshade, so I'm a happy girl.

By the way, what do you think of our ancient radio in the background of the picture? it is from Tim's Granny, and it still works! (although the only station it can receive is access radio!).

Vinyl seats, those will be sticky on bare legs in the summer!
The walk looks amazing! I particularly love the picture of the fungus on the branch, amazing!
