The plain linens (100% linen)I usually get from eBay, and thats also where I found the japanese floral linens (they have a bit of cotton mixed in). Try searching under zakka as it usually brings up the japanese linens. They are so soft and pretty and kind of stone washed, you will love them. I tend to buy a set of small pieces apporx 8 or 9" square which you can make quite a lot from - they are quite expensive per metre.<br />Hope this helps!<br />Gill xxgillyflowerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02410673843788487544noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-47552732318532248172012-12-01T15:56:38.473+00:002012-12-01T15:56:38.473+00:00Hi Kay, thank you so much for visiting my blog.

And no I can't ever remember going to Trago and only buying what's on the list lol. I love Trago :-)Kayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09242633962339344241noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-56738868542352048802012-11-29T11:15:03.289+00:002012-11-29T11:15:03.289+00:00Sorry, meant to add - with the roller, I use a tra...Sorry, meant to add - with the roller, I use a tray and you decant your paint into that, so saves the problem of moving the huge tin of paint round the room. (I'm also a Trago fan but usually wait until I need a few things until I make the journey from my village.<br />Have you ever gone to Trago without buying something that 's NOT on your list? I haven't!Ramblerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00914227535503925006noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-396646580153271430.post-89088654657191381862012-11-29T11:11:18.650+00:002012-11-29T11:11:18.650+00:00I've just finished decorating my living room, ...I've just finished decorating my living room, but for the ceiling, I used a roller with an extension pole. Much safer than climbing on ladders or chairs ;)<br />Great idea about the milk carton paint pot - I shall certainly use that one.
