I have other blogs, only one of which I regularly post on but I realised I wanted to blog about my love of all things vintage and frankly old!
I'm getting that way myself.
Now I no longer expect things to be perfect I feel much more comfortable. Perfection apart from being impossible is actually very, very tiring.
I don't want perfection, I want life.
I love thrift shops, I love second hand stores, I love flea markets and antique shops although the last is usually way too expensive for me.
I'm a collector of course but an eclectic one. I only buy what I like, the things that speak to me and intrigue. And even when I see things I like, I don't always buy them. My tastes range from clothing and accessories through to toys and household items - I even have old electrical components!I hope you enjoy my blog and come back and visit when you have the time.
And so we have a nice picture to look at this is what's left of my Dad's old Meccano plane from the 1930s. I did look up the number to find the exact year but I've forgotten it. Not that it matters. I just think it's rather lovely!
I like things vintage and antique. They have a history and tell a story, worn by use and time and life. I like peeling paint and that patina of age that time leaves. I've worn vintage clothing since my teens way back in the 70s when I was at college and wore my mother's 50s dresses. I wish they still fitted! And I like the saying, "make do and mend". Why buy new when you can buy old and save the planet!
