Vintage, retro

[callmemadam]

Sometimes when I’m bored I have a look at the pretty blogs of people who do pretty blogs, then feel inadequate because my home is not a shrine to Cath Kidston. Just to show we can all do this if we try, here is a sentimental corner in the book room. The doll was given to me on my seventh birthday and is wearing a nightie made for her by my mother. She reclines on a cot quilt which my grandmother sewed when I was a baby. The chair belongs to huskyteer. Four generations in one spot. Some of us don’t have to go out and buy old (looking) things. :-)

That's a lovely corner.

My house isn't a shrine to Cath Kidston, either. Sometimes I would like it to be, but heh. I like second hand, I like recycling, and I hate tidying ...

Kindred spirits.

How lovely, especially the memories.

Thank you. I like old stuff: don't know what I'll do if I move to a new house!
