Highlights included entertaining our first dinner guests ( Kevin and Vicki from Ashwood Llamas www.ashwoodllamas.co.uk) as well as going on a Shabby Chic painting course run by Sarah at Rowan Tree Studios in Clovelly (rowantreestudio.co.uk).
Dinner with friends around a small table that used to be in my home-office convinced us of the need to bring down the Ercol dining suite from the Midlands.
Although of no great value it was bought by my parents when they were married in 1949 and holds many memories - happy memories of family Christmases and less happy memories of sitting at the table doing my homework from school.
The course run by Sarah which was great fun has provided with the knowledge to convert the Ercol furniture into a 'shabby chic' dining suite just right for the cottage. I painted and distressed one chair in the workshop and just have 5 more chairs and the table to do!
I have attached a picture of my 'shabby chic' chair and also a few others of local places where we enjoyed spending our time in Devon last week.
