I've just painted one of my bargain finds that I got when KOA was opened for August. It's a vintage wooden clothes dryer and only cost me £2. I think it belonged to H's old primary school cos it had one of her teachers names on it....it was covered in splodges of paint and I think they used to use it to dry paintings on. I didn't want to get bright blue powder paint on my nice clean washing and it wouldn't wash off, so I gave it a lick of paint....and like it much better........ it's great now the rains are coming....it's quite mild and the sun comes out every so often but then it drizzles ....and I won't be able to peg out in the garden.....It'll save on the energy......
