Another giveaway - in white

I mentioned a little while ago that I'd have a lovely giveaway from an Australian company that specialises in absolutely gorgeous things...

Now you all know how much I love white, so this giveaway gives me a lot of pleasure.

The name of the company is:  Whiteport...and you guessed it. It specialises in everything white!

Jennifer emailed me while we were still on holidays to make a very generous offer of a lovely item from her beautiful store for my Aussie readers.

So here we go...three beautiful pure cotton t-towels in perfect white!

Apart from kitchen items, Jennifer also has quilts and sheet sets.

Glorious furniture, like this linen armchair.

 This lovely little linen shopping bag

...and monogrammed pillow slips. These are really gorgeous!

So....all you have to do to go in the draw for these is: become a follower of Life at Number 10, check out Whiteport, subscribe to the site and leave me a comment to tell me what other items take your fancy.

Don't worry, subscribing to Whiteport doesn't cost a thing. It just means they'll send you an email every now and then to let you know about the new items they have on offer.

Get to it... it's lovely looking at all the beautiful things in there...

My other giveaway for the CSN Stores voucher is still up for grabs too....I'll draw that next Monday. Keep the comments coming

Back deck table

As you know by now I definitely have a thing about WHITE! and I seem to be painting everything that gets in my way at the moment

Here's our back deck last year. Hard to see but the little slat table was all uneven. If you click on the photograph you can see a little better

I've had the table for years but the slats had bowed and buckled and it wasn't safe to put your drink on and we can't have that!

Hard to see it in this pic under and among all the "projects" I had on the deck after the weather "turned".

But I bought a sheet of MDF, MONT cut it down to size and attached it to the table, and I gave it about four coats of paint to make it waterproof.

It's much better and much more functional now, although once this top goes to God, I won't be putting MDF on it again...I think I'll get a piece of marine ply or something a little more sturdy seeing it'll be sitting outside all the time.

Still pretty happy with it though.

To everyone suffering from the devastating floods in Queensland...my thoughts are with you. I once lived in Brisbane and watched as my backyard filled with water from the swollen creek that runs past my back fence...

It's been heartbreaking watching the tragedy unfold on television and my heart goes out to everyone affected..
