Freebies - always good!

While looking around a local vintage emporium today I noticed a little chair and table on the ground outside. I asked the man what he was going to do with them and he said he had just pulled them out of the skip to put on the fire he had going, but did I want them, if so I could have them.

Yes please I said, knowing they would be perfect for Xanthe, my little Lati girl.


All that was wrong was the seat was missing a base - easily rectified.

I cut a piece of board to size and covered with a wad of stuffing and some fabric.




Xanthe inspects it...


Perfect size for her and her little friend.
