I bought a house

hehe...a very small house! It is a very dinky little 2 bedroom cottage, about 30cm tall!!
I think I regressed back to being a little girl when I spied it. It is rather shabby inside and needs some renovations...but nothing a bit of paint and paper cant fix! As soon as I saw it I could imagine little birds living in it! I must get making some super small little birdies to live there.  I thought it would make a good prop for using on my stall when I'm at craft fairs but after getting it home realised that I don't actually have anything  small enough to fit in it!  So now i must make things to match my prop!
I do buy the most random things...I really can't be trusted in charity shops..I banned myself for a while last year but he lure of other peoples trash is too much...I cannot resist their shabby charm!

Ah well, I'm sure I will find some purpose for it!

Have you had any bargain buys lately...do you feel the draw of the charity shop...carboot sale too?

Take care my lovelies,
Dotty xxx

      hehe! thank you very much for the kind offer but I actually have quite alot of dolls house furniture already...bought a few years ego on a whim! So I should have enough to kit it out...like you, I have two now! This may become quite a space consuming habit!! :)

      The is the problem...I cannot be trusted out on my own! If I have kids in tow or my partner then I have no chance of buying anything!!

    Hi Dotty, I saw you over at Lazy Daisy Jones and thought I'd pop and say hi.... I'm terrible in Charity Shops I just can't resist I have to try and be tough with myself and not buy unless I really really must have it. Such a cute house for the faeries to live in ... Sarah x
