Bee happy ..... go sale shopping!

I wanted to share my recent purchase with you all.

I just LOVE stationery and adore Paperchase.

I noticed these cute pink leather pouches, great for using as a pencil case. 

They were reduced from £30 to £21 but when I checked at the till the one in my hand went through at £3! 

So I immediately picked up the last remaining one, so 2 for £6 what a BARGAIN!

What's your most recent best buy?

Bee happy ..... suitcase makeover

I was lucky enough to win this cute vintage suitcase on eBay a little while ago :)

 

 

The insides were in a bit of a state with peeling paper so I decided to give it a little make over to cheer it up.

 

I had this tissue paper from Paperchase so decided to use this.

 

I cut strips of the tissue paper and used Mod Podge to glue into place and then varnished over the top of the paper too for protection.

 

I love the insides of my suitcase now and smile every time I open it :)

Bee happy ..... gift wrap your stairs

I had seen this image on Pinterest and really liked the idea of a different step/design going up the stairs.

 

 

When we decorated the stairs and hallway I chose to paint a grey runner up the stairs with a white base.

 

I decided I wanted a change as the grey paint was looking tired and scuffed so I went off hunting for different wallpapers but couldn't find just what I was looking for, they weren't special enough.

 

I then had an idea of using wrapping paper.

 

I went off to Paperchase and bought several different wrapping paper sheets in pretty designs and colours.

 

After painting over the worn grey steps several times for a solid white step I then added a different paper on each riser using wallpaper paste to stick it down.

 

Now the paper has dried I am really pleased with the result and when I get fed up of this I can easily change it again :)

Bee happy ..... change of display

Another display now I have put away Christmas.

Some new additions to my collection.

Cox and Cox tea light holders from TX Maxx.

Glass display box from Paperchase in the sale.

A plant pot from TX Maxx in the reduced section before Christmas, it was grey with white showing through.

I wanted it white with the grey showing through so I used some white spray paint and distressed it when it was dry. I then added some roses and it looks great.

I know I went photo crazy but I am now using Chrome so I can add photos once again!

Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!
