Having finished the 'office corner' I remembered that a couple of years ago I sent of for some samples of business cards...they are really lovely and come from moo but they weren't what I was looking for...Really they had no use and possibly my only option was to pop them in the recycling...That would have made me very sad...BUT...I also had some old fridge magnets that the children had collected free in breakfast cereal...Footballers who have probably already retired...I really didn't want footballers on my pink multi purpose magnet/chalk board but I was quite happy to have artichokes and food sayings on it...Very low tech... stick free business card samples onto free footballer magnets...Tasteful and useful new magnets for my girly board :-)
Yesterday I found an old and tatty chair by a bin...It had no great age but magpie that I am I was attracted to a solid and useful chair that was looking for a home. The bin was next to the salle de fetes of my village...I do go out occasionally and so I left my car parked outside the salle yesterday evening so I could enjoy a glass or two of wine...Today I walked up in lovely sunshine exposing my sad winter legs to sunlight in order to pick up my car and had a yippee moment because the chair was still there...The chair is now in my kitchen! More to follow :-)
