Free Halloween Print

 
 
How cute is this Halloween Print? It is a fab freebie that I stumbled across over on Pinterest & it is from The 36th Avenue. Pop on over *HERE* & you can print one off too.

I just printed mine off on A4 white paper & popped it in a cheap back frame from Ikea.
I just used the paper that comes with the frame & flipped it over so that it forms a white background & then taped the A4 sheet onto that with some washi tape & voila  ... Halloween fabulousness on a shoestring! As you can probably tell & did mine in a rush & should have straightened it up a bit more but nevermind.
 
 
The Halloween prints come in 4 different colour shadings & I used this one ...
 
 
... which I think is the moonlight version.
So off you pop to *The 36th Avenue* for your print & have a wonderful Halloween!

Stockholm Range at Ikea




Are you loving the Stockholm range at Ikea? I know I am!
These are some of my favourites.


I really love number 4 the yellow chair but James isn't too keen!
He is smitten with number 7 though, the nest of tables - we have bought these & they reside in our living room now!
We also got the smaller version of number 2, a smaller bowl which was only £6. I didn't see the larger bowls in our local store.

So what do you think of the range? Do you love it too?

Number Fifteen Blog!


 
 
 
Hey! So this is the new Number Fifteen Blog!
Some of you reading may know me as Alison from Vintage Amethyst & indeedy that is me!
I closed Vintage Amethyst after 10 years to open a fabulous (well hopefully you think so too!) new online shop called Number Fifteen.

Number Fifteen is well on it's way to opening (well I did only close Vintage Amethyst 3 days ago) & there are lots of behind the scenes website workings going on & lots of super duper new items arriving on our doorstep! And whilst we are on the subject of our doorstep you've probably guessed it we live at Number 15!
When looking for a new name from the shop this popped into my head & I just couldn't get rid of it.
Our last house (where I started Vintage Amethyst) was also number 15 too, and the house we lived in at University was number 15 too! So we've lived in 3 number 15 houses, so perhaps they are lucky for us.
 
We moved into this house at Christmas 2012 (yes 4 days before Christmas!!!!). It belonged to an 89 year old lady & so we are completely renovating it. We have built two work areas in our large garden & so were able to give up our business unit & thus save the pennies to spend on the house!
I have a purpose built big workshop right at the end of the garden that you can just about see from the dining room window passed all the trees & shrubs, which is where Vintage Amethyst was & now Number Fifteen is based & my husband James (who is THIS artist!) has completely renovated a garage into a fanstastic new artist studio!
 
So peoples, that's a little bit of where Number Fifteen comes from & I hope you will think the new shop super & I hope it will be every bit as successful as Vintage Amethyst was.
