I spent the weekend doing a mixture of things: painting my ‘rescued’ furniture, locating ancestors on the 1841 Census and making this delicious carrot cake. It was my first attempt and was delicious!

I’m torn

Filed under: Family History — Jen @ 6:42 pm

My love of family history has recently been replaced by a love of all things vintage. You name it, I’ve been buying it. I have Cath Kidston-ed our flat with tablecloths, tea towels, napkins, baskets and the like. I spent last weekend trawling antique shops on the Isle of Wight and found a beautiful 1950s child’s chair. Perfect for the garden we don’t quite have yet. I also have a few pieces of vintage furniture which need a lick of paint.

However, the launch of the 1841 Census has whet my appetite again, time to tackle those brick walls again!
