And a New Year Begins…

It is a new year and a clean slate is upon us.  The new year is a great time to reflect on the previous year and see what we can do to better in our lives.  Time to begin those resolutions for the things we want to change such as ourselves or our home.  After the hustle and bustle of Christmas has come and gone, it is time to settle down a bit and get back to a normal routine of our lives.

But wait……it is a new year and we have those resolutions to start putting in motion before we settle back into our normal routine.  Oh no, we are out with the old and in with new. January is a crisp clean month and one way to jump-start it is with organization….vintage decor organization that is.

Scrolling through Pinterest, I have located some new special finds that I am lovin featuring…

Antique Travel….cameras, luggage and globes.

Traveling was an adventure in its day not only with your destination, but the items you carried with you.  Perhaps some of them were used to actually plan your trip.  I stepped back in time to bring you some of the great antique travel tools that got travelers to and from their wondrous trips.

Antique cameras come in all shapes, styles, and sizes.  Some that are very ornate and others that are a little more plain, but have a different quality of beautiful.

Vintage Fashion Printables….

By Leave a Comment

Vintage fashion has always caught my eye and the printables that I have for you will not disappoint.  I know how long it takes me to get ready for work or to go out, however I can’t imagine how long it took these ladies to get dressed each day.  There were many pieces to a ladies attire that would go into her final look, such as the stockings, corset, petticoats (many in some cases), under garmets, shoes or boots and the actual dress.  I am exhausted just thinking about it, but after all was done the ladies looked amazing.  I hope you enjoy and feel free to copy and print.

Vintage and Antique Printable Graphics

By Leave a Comment

In our travels for fabulous treasures, we have the honor of finding some awesome ephemera from the late 1900’s and early 1800’s.  Some of these finds are mind-blowing when it comes to the graphics and the preservation of color.  Sometimes the color and style of today’s graphics just doesn’t hold a candle to how things were done during that era.  These folks were definitely pioneers of their craft and were great at it.  We wanted to share these wonderful finds for everyone to enjoy.

The latest finds are post cards and they really just drew me in and believe me it was a challenge to not walk away with all of them (there were thousands to choose from) and I was like a kid in a candy store.

Pinehurst, NC

How GRAND!!!  I wonder if it is still around?  Pinehurst is in my home state and I just may have to do some detective work and see if it is.  If you are familiar with The Carolina or know someone that is, I would love to hear from you.
