Baguette Box Makeover & Cath Kidston Quilts for sale

I have been busy getting the baguette box that I bought at the weekend ready for the V&H Fair on Saturday.  I have painted it in Farrow & Ball Lichen and lightly distressed it before giving it a coat of clear wax polish to finish.  What do you think?


I have lined the front with vintage French faded roses fabric and added a Vichy check heart to finish.  I hope it goes down well at the fair.


I am having to use the fabric very sparingly as I haven't much left, but I think it looks just right with the green and adds a nice contrast.  
Now I don't normally sell things through my Blog but I have two Cath Kidston quilts and as they are not vintage I cannot sell them at the fairs.  I also despise listing things on a certain auction site so I thought I would offer them for sale here.


Firstly is a sweet CK Eiderdown, feather filled and with an Oxford trim.  It is tied with little pieces of ribbon rather than being quilted and I am sure the feathers are secured in another cover inside as it doesn't seem to be uneven (if that makes sense!!) I cannot see any damage and it has been washed.


It measures 42"x62" (Still a feet and inches girl I'm afraid...ahem!!)  and I am asking £35 + £7 P&P.
SORRY THE CK EIDY IS SOLD!!!!


I also have a paisley CK quilt (possibly Ikea I think), it is a good size measuring 69"x106" and is in good condition.


It is a lovely paisley design to one side and red polka dots to the other.  It has also been washed and is ready to go.  I am asking £35 + £7 P&P.  Please Email me at hestanesta@hotmail.co.uk if you are interested.  Hope you are all having a great week so far.
