Our unique wedding list...

We are getting married on 4th April 2009 and we are really looking forward to seeing you on the day.

We would love to finish our house and add a few special touches. As you may know we love art deco and "previously loved" things with character and charm. We often buy from ebay, auctions, charity shops,unusual websites and flea markets.

We have therefore given you a few ideas of things we would be really grateful to receive. Some items are readily available, whilst some may require a little more searching!

1. Browse the site and find something you/ we fancy!
2. Please reply to the item if you would like to "source" it for us, so other guests are aware. Some items are "multiple"...but obviously you don't have to get the total number (1 picture frame rather than 20!)
3. Click on the heading and then the comment box will appear underneath the item.
4. Please leave us a message, either with your name (click "name/URL" on the drop down menu) or anonymously (click "anonymously").
5. When something has "gone", i will make the post red - for future easy browsing!

For an example, of this working smoothly please see the post called "Testing, Testing....1,2,3"

Thank you...

Chrome - to finish refurbing our original Herbert Terry anglepoise

Anyone up for a challenge?!....
It looked worse than this when i bought it on ebay.........


but i wanted it to look like this....







so i dismantled it, (whilst drawing lots of diagrams for easy reassembly,) stripped it and have bought the original flex to rewire it..... but i cannot find anyone to chrome the parts...can anyone help??
Stoods will be delighted as the utility room will look less like scrap heap challenge..!
(I really hope i can understand my dotty scribbles ...eek!)

Frames....Frames.... Frames....


Please help us perk up our uninspiring corridor into the kitchen.

We would like lots (20-30) frames of different shapes and sizes(for photos from 6x4 up to 10x8), in either black, silver/chrome, gold, bronze, or mother of pearl.

We will then have to try and choose which photos to put up!
obviously someone doesn't have to buy all the frames... many people can buy one frame!

Art Deco Flame Outside Light - £?


At least 2-3 times a week I drive past the Famous 3 Kings pub, on the A4 in Kensington, for work. (edited to read "used to"!) It has about 10 brilliant flame lights, which look amazing, all the way around it. You can just about see them in the photo.

I just adore them and would love just one outside our front door. (A double one would be fine too)

I have no idea where to start looking, as those I have found are either just shades or for indoor use.  There must be one with our name on it somewhere....oh, and no pinching them from the pub !
