Ooh I am quite excited!
Why ?
Well let me tell you..
Yesterday while out shopping I nipped into a shop that sells painted furniture and little nick knacks etc which is not far from where I live, whilst I was there the owner got chatting to me.
I kind of know the owner because he has brought one of my table and chair sets from eBay, which he then put in his shop charging a lot more than he gave me ha ha!
Anyway the funny thing was apparently he has been watching what I have been selling.
"Sorry Ladies my head is going to get a little big here" but he said he was very impressed with my revamps and was going to contact me, and would I like to supply him with furniture to sell in his shop!
I am so chuffed, would you like to see what is going to the shop first?
I had just finished revamping it.
As for the new name, thank you so much for all your ideas so far, you have all been fantastic. I love the way you are all so kind, helpful and encouraging about everything!
Although as yet I have not found a new name, I do agree with those of you who said about losing the shabby and the shack.
So to encourage you lovely ladies out there, and because I do need some help with this, I am going to tell you what I have decided to send as a gift to the person who comes up with the perfect new name.
Some of you probably follow the lovely Hen from Henhouse you may even have seen the beautiful bags she creates?
Well this is the prize!
So this does not just drag on and on, I will set a dead line for suggestions by the 28th of March.
You will need to post your name idea on my blog by then. You can suggest as many as you like, the more the merry.
If I don't pick your name or any ones for that matter, please don't be cross with me it has to be the right one, as I am sure you will agree..x
But what I will do if that does happen and you have made a suggestion is to put your name in a hat and the winner will receive the gorgeous Henhouse bag, or I could just keep it he he..
Have a great week.

Hi, the dresser looks great! Well done on the arrangement with the shop, that sounds really good. Love the bathroom makeover too, if you're anything like me something in the house that wouldn't bother someone else will make you obsess over it to the point of HATING it!
ReplyDeleteAm trying to think of a name for the shop... Transformed Treasures??? Revitalised Relics??? Updated Originals??? Unloved to Unique??? Will keep thinking!

Hi Emma
ReplyDeleteI read with interest the other comments when you first brought up the subject, well I should like to suggest just 'Revamped' short sweet and it does what it says on the tin. I'm sure you will get loads more suggestions and will choose the one that feels right. Good Luck

What good news - you are entitled to that big head!
ReplyDeleteSorry, no name suggestions - haven't got my thinking head on.
Hi Em, Wow, what fantastic news! I would be a hoppy skippy happy as you are if that happened to me! Hummm need to get the old thinking cap on 'cos that bag is mine! Ha ha! xxxx
ReplyDeletegreat news well done - the dresser looks lovely.
ReplyDeleteSorry I haven't come up with a name. I like to keep things simple which was how I chose my blog name - I was getting hens ! I was sorry afterwards that there was already henhouse - sorry for her I mean - but I didn't know !
I did have to giggle though with the man in the reclamation yard - I bought an old rusty cash tin to put out for egg money & told the man I was selling my eggs at the gate.
He answered, " where is The Gate ? "
I giggled ..at the end of my drive ! He thought I meant a farm shop or something. We both agreed it would make a good name though if I did have a shop !
how about Emms Essential Relics ... thats all i can think of today ....hugs jackanne xx
