New Floral Serviettes

I pinched these two lovely napkins from my sis while visiting recently.  Can't wait to use them for some new plaquettes that are in the pipeline.  Don't forget Funky-Junk plaquettes make great gifts for birthdays and other occasions and of course there is no harm in getting organised for Christmas a little early - I have already received the first Christmas orders so don't miss out!!!  A lead time of at least 10 days is required for orders by contacting me either on the blog (see form on the right of this page) or on the Funky-Junky Facebook page (click on the FB tab at the top of the blog page).

Lamp Revamp

I gave up searching for a new lampshade for my standard lamp as I just couldn't find one that would match my newly painted dining room.  I was all set to re-cover the existing one but again didn't see any fabric that caught my eye that would do justice to the room.  While tidying my crafts cupboard I came across these lovely napkins (below) and I decided to try découpaging the lampshade but was unsure if it would work as the original shade (below) was covered in a purple fabric and I didn't think the napkins would stick well to it.  It was a little difficult to get them to adhere to the lamp but in the end perseverance paid off.  Now at least I have a lamp that matches my room - a perfect temporary fix until I find a new shade or some suitable fabric and it cost me nothing in the process.
