As already stated we have amazing friends and this summer are abusing them horribly.

Finola is our latest victim and she has been busy with a paint brush since she arrived last week.

Another friend, Isabel presented me with this sewing machine base when she left Cork for Annecy. I have been looking at it in puzzlement since then.

Then a serendipitous moment happened.

My BlackMarbleCliveNunnKitchen came, because of a change of plan of mine, with a surplus piece of marble.
It was only when I put them both to store on the terrace that I suddenly thought that they might go well together.
Thus Finola’s efforts with Hammerite and brush.

Resulting in;

Voila !
