Day one of our fruitcart project

 Yesterday we started at our (my mum and i) new project.
We stained the handcarts we bought at the fair.
My mother also bought the wooden thing, that goes on top of the cart to make a sign.
I am gonna make one myself, because i want it a little smaller.
There are tree layers of stain, i think i have to sand it a little to get rid of the drippings and make it look older.
My mum want to let the car shine, so she is going to give it one or two layers of lack.
This cart is mine, do you see the dripping? 
Can't wait to make all the fruit and veggies from fimo.
But i have to wait, it is our together project and we only work on it ones a week.

Well that was our first day of the weekend.
On Sunday we went to another fair, in Amsterdam and it was the first time at that location.
There were not much visitors.
It was Fair with dollshouses, miniatures, old toys, hobby materials, dolls, bears trains etc.
It was so nice ! I forgot to take pictures of the day.
That was a lovely weekend with my mother, we came home very tired, with lots of nice miniatures, material and inspiration and a empty walled.

I show tomorror what i bought.
