Tea and Forget-me-nots

Hi I’m Rachel from Tea and Forget-me-nots.

This is the home of my upcycled and handmade furniture projects.

I also blog about my projects, including tips and how-to guides such as where to find free furniture to flip.

You can find me on Pinterest, Instagram, Facebook and TikTok, where I share the behind the scenes of these projects and what I’m currently working on.
