I love eBay, it is a brilliant way of saving money. I actually used eBay alot
for all my wedding table and room decorations which saved us tons. So when it
came to making a
house a home what better place to shop than eBay! I
have been looking for a vintage fruit crate for ages after seeing one in Luca’s
mums kitchen filled with all her cookery books, I looked online and in shabby
chic independent shops and they were going for ridiculous amounts (like £30!!!)
I even went to local green grocers to try and get an un-used one, but I had no
such luck.
So after spending half an hour or so going through the eBay listings I found
the one! it was £12 for the crate including postage
which is great as its pretty heavy! It is from 1960 and was used for fruit and
veg. It came within a few days so I got to work on how best to use it. After
looking for inspiration on Pinterest I found a picture of a crate being used as
a bed side table! So after playing around with our bedroom layout and filling it
with books it was ready! Doesn’t it look lovely……
Love Danielle
