Bobbin Shed 21, our 'house' and Thrift.

We had a very special event on Saturday the 12th April. 

Our Open day and Exhibition-it took weeks of organization and planning. 

One thing we wanted to achieve was a 'set' of a house in miniature-Some where we could displey our own items made, that were perfect in anyones own home.

We decided to go with a 1950's theme and set about gathering items. 

I began by surching for furniture, wanting to be as thrifty as possible. I looked on many an auction site-eventually winning most items of furniture for just 99p and I didn't spend any more than £10.00.

Some of the items came from farm buildings that looked quite sad indeed, and now look brand new and extremely happy in their new home.

I was biding my time for a carpet to come up on Freecycle and when it did, it was brand new one! It fitted perfect in to the space and really set the scene.

We were keen to have all aspects of a house, so we made the bed from old palets and rugs that were made by Becky Sunter. 

Vintage China and glassed was sourced from charity shops and the only thing left to do was put it all together.

I can honestly say the entire set was beyond thrifty, not only very satisfying to create but, if I do say so my self, extremely stylish! 

Bobbin Shed 21 on Lingfield Point now has a wonderful show space, brought back to it's 1950's glory with a little of no money, but masses of passion!
