A rare moment with me not in paint splattered clothes and hair in plaits!

Sadly not for long though as the spray gun is coming out this week. Time to get the walls and ceilings of my latest renovation project painted. It’s all on the ‘Cottage’ highlights if you’ve missed it 😁

Decisions decisions: to wear a shower cap or a headscarf??? Hubby thinks I’m mad as every hotel we stay in I always bring the free shower cap home!! I have quite a collection!🤣What’s your preferred headwear when painting ceilings?? Love T xx

The auction gods have been smiling on me again with these two big stoneware pots finding a new home at just £60 for the pair!

These are stoneware as opposed to earthenware…. so what’s the difference I hear you ask?? 😁

Stoneware:
High firing temperature
Durable
Non porous so doesn’t readily absorb water
Doesn’t need to be glazed
Naturally brown or grey

Earthenware:
Lower firing temperature
Less durable
Absorbs water readily
Needs to be glazed

Stoneware sounds a lot less trouble so stoneware is my new addiction!! I’m off hunting for more… 😉
Love T xx
