"When I was 5 years old, my mother always told me that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. I wrote down 'happy'. They told me I didn't understand the assignment, and I told them they didn't understand life."

- John Lennon

Here is a bookshelf I made today...

I found a guy in the area that sells old scaffold planks in all different sizes so I got loads of 1 meter lengths that were only £1 each...bargain!!

The planks are sanded and waxed to bring out the colours. My cheap sander decided it couldn't handle the job so I sanded them by hand then rubbed three layers of beeswax into them.
These super duper paving bricks were saved from the skip...there was tons of them most ended up in landfill. I only manged to save about a hundred.

I think there could end up being one of these in every room of my house if I don't hold myself back from getting carried away....I'd have to buy more books!
I want a wall of scaffold shelving right up to the ceiling in my studio.

Here are some textured beads and a golden bell recently listed in my etsy shop...
