I don't normally buy vintage fashion items but these are a simply a thing of beauty! Just the loveliest pair of long leather boots, made in England circa 1970. If only I were a size 3 I'd cherish them forever #blacksquirrelhome #vintagefashion #1970sfashion #vintageplatformboots #leatherplatformboots #boogiewonderland #dancingboots #magicboots (at Blacksquirrelhome)

Finally back in scruffs with paint brush in hand for the first time in months! Last March (!!!) I primed this vintage jewellery box ready for painting and today it's had an initial coat of chalk paint!!! If I said these things take time I'd be exaggerating 😂. I'm looking forward to the painting stage being complete so I can move onto lining the drawers with something pretty. I hope this year I'll find more time for the creative side of things as its so therapeutic #paintingtherapy #jewelleryboxproject #paintedjewellerybox #prettywhitethings #aswhiteasthesnow #handpaintedjewelrybox (at Blacksquirrelhome)

First upcycling of the year. I'm well wrapped up as it's very chilly but with a beautiful blue sky! Spray paint makes light work of these projects. Today I'm using metallic gold by Plasticote. I have some interesting antique and vintage brass and ormolu pieces that are beyond the 'charming' stage so I've decided to upcycle in order to make them beautiful and functional once more. In today's batch we have an antique handmade 'boy' candlestick, an early 20th century peacock candlestick, a mid century magazine rack and some worn French ormolu curtain tiebacks. I really should have taken before and after shots! Doh! Oh well I'll hopefully remember for next time. Hey at least I remembered to put gloves on - those gold things aren't actually my fingers for once 😂 #upcycling #vintagehomewares #brassware #ormolu #frenchhomewares #midcenturystyle #brasscandlesticks #etsyhome #etsyhandmade #etsyvintage #etsyshop #blacksquirrelhome #plastikote #goldspraypaint #project12018 (at Blacksquirrelhome)
