Family Vintage!
My very busy week has included a trip in the Sky Car at the Moses Mabhide Stadium, and evening of meeting fellow Durban bloggers and swapping clothes! It has also been the week my M-I-L moved from a 4-story mansion in Ballito to a neat little retirement pad close by.
She has had to shed loads of stuff. I am so delighted that these vintage tub chairs came our way.
Last night, after unpacking the 1000th box [!?], I came home with a few more goodies including this lovely bright Vintage Real Vinicola Port Bottle.
Still to come is an oak cupboard, which just does not fit in to her new home - and [yay]she has told me I have her permission to paint it white!

Shew, what a week of contrasts.
Love the chairs.
I must admit I shudder at the thought of the Oak cupboard being painted any colour at all, though. You and white paint!!!
