Salvo Fair...

Salvo Fair 2011 - Knebworth House, Hertfordshire

Last weekend my husband and I visited 

the Salvo Fair 2011...  

The 'Salvo Fair' is an annual outdoor trade fair held in the grounds of Knebworth House, with marquees featuring various dealers of salvage, architectural pieces, garden antiques, re-cycled and reclaimed items and much more...

I love these colourful enameled ladles and utensils... Great for any country style kitchen...

This was the 11th year running for the fair... 

A great day out for all the family... 

So make sure you are there for 'Salvo Fair 2012'...

Check out our buys... I Just love this salvaged wooden wheel and wine box, which both now make interesting features in our garden...

Also keep an eye on the blog to see what i will do with these printed hessian sacks...

From Junk to Gems...

Wooden coffee table - found on the street

Restored table - daffodils & snowdrops

Take an old tatty table 

found at the side of the road... 

and smarten it up with a fresh lick of paint...

Re-cycling... a great way of salvaging unwanted furniture and household items and re-creating something beautiful to add to your home...

My husband found this tired looking table at the side of the street... and gave it a new lease of life with a coat of white paint... we distressed the corners and crevices of the table with sandpaper to give a shabby chic country style look...

This made a unique and stylish present for my mother on her birthday, which now takes pride of place in her living room...

Happy Birthday Mam...
