An Eclectic Mix of Things That Have Caught My Eye This Week

I thought this was a spiffing idea, plus it gives a new use to plain old bottles that might otherwise just be recycled.
I'm going to make my own version of this with some very old and dusty books and a small tester pot of paint, but I thought I would leave the price on to show you.
I thought this 17th century plate was very soulful and desirable. And last but not least, something for The Ladies. As Frankie would say, titter ye not.

    That first one made me laugh and the second one is a good idea.
    A good mix here though, thank you :)

    All the best Jan

    What a brilliant way to repurpose old bottles! It sounds like your version with books and paint will be a wonderfully creative spin on it. The 17th-century plate sounds like a lovely find—there’s something about older pieces that adds so much character to a space. And I’m intrigued by the “something for The Ladies” bit—sounds like a bit of fun! Your eclectic mix is definitely sparking some inspiration for creative projects. Keep sharing these gems!

    I love how you’re turning old, unused items into something creative and new! The idea of using dusty books and a tester pot of paint sounds brilliant—it's always fun to give things a second life. That 17th-century plate must have a real charm to it, a bit of history in each detail. And I’m curious to see what the “something for The Ladies” is—your sense of humour always brings a smile!
