Hidden treasures

Like much of the world, I love finding items from yesteryear and bringing them back to life or simply re-homing them. Not only do you get some great bargains - you can also create your own style. I hope too that it teaches my small people about value for money, consumerism and creativity (wishful thinking?!)

For sometime I've been hunting for a small side table - you know when you need somewhere to put your cup of tea so it doesn't get spilt, or that book that you were in the middle of reading but had to stop when someone spilt that cup of tea!

I found this old wooden beauty for a few dollars at the local op shop. With a light sand, tickle of paint and some pretty paper I can now put that cup down. Score one for the mother!
