Carp Village

The village where my British grandparents tell me they spent the "happiest years of their lives".

Clydesdale team, Carp Fair.

Very popular village cafe

Carp Fairgrounds in the centre of the village

Carp Garden Centre : terrible customer service by the owners but nice plants.

Vintage Graphic Design | Domesticity

I was once a graphic designer. I love the Good Housekeeping magazine covers showcasing children.

Painted Pedestal Table

I have two pedestal tables to paint. Both are old, clunky pieces that I picked up for a song off of Kijiji. They owe nobody anything.

I have repainted and re-stained both of them more than once. They are good, heavy pieces. Solid oak.

I am thinking of new finishes again, something like this:

dark sage green with matching chairs

verdigris and distressed

Pale warm grey

warm grey

Anglophilia
