Above is a collection of vintage style refrigerators from Big Chill, Gorenje and Smeg.
We're currently on the hunt for a new fridge and would love one of these beauties to brighten up our kitchen. Unfortunately, Smeg appears to be the only brand available in Australia and both of their models are too small for our needs. *sigh*

Ahhh... it's Friday and I just thought I'd leave you with some old photographs of my mum. I just love the cute outfits she's wearing in these pics!
By the way, If you enjoy looking at old photos of stylish mums you should check out this blog and book.
Have a great weekend!! xo

Love these little finds at Teaspoon Vintage.

I love the creative ways in which vintage handkerchiefs have been incorporated into weddings recently! Whether
for Save the Dates, Invitations or simply for decoration- a collection
of these hankies in various floral patterns creates such a beautiful,
old-fashioned aesthetic.

Inspired by this concept, I designed some letter-writing paper
sheets in the style of vintage hankies. Guests can pick them off a line
to write little notes to the newlyweds and then hang them back up for
display!

In the same vein as this previous DIY
where I also explored the concept of 'Love Notes', these "Hanky" Love
Letters are a unique guestbook alternative for your wedding.

Some crafty bits that are inspiring me at the moment:
Top: During my lunch breaks, recently, I've been re-watching old episodes of Friends and have noticed a cute granny square pillow in Monica's apartment. Inspired, I went searching for something similar on the net and found this pic of a handmade pillow by Tracey Jeffrey. Cute!
Bottom: Steffani K of Sew with Sass was rummaging through her mother's fabric stash and happened across a box of authentic vintage Liberty of London fabrics! What a beautiful array of colours and patterns.

Love these cute handmade gift tags from A Wilderness For You and Me.

Vintage flower necklaces from Tamar and hairpins from Oh Hello Friend. Just lovely.

On this side of the world we are entering the depths of winter. Cold
and Grey. Dark and Rainy. Don't get me wrong it's not all bad. 'Tis the
season of hot chocolate, toasty warm fireplaces and blanket snuggles.
But I still prefer the summertime. I miss the sunshine.
Inspired by the enviable weather in the opposite hemisphere and some
vintage floral fabric designs, I've created these summer-themed gift
tags which I'm sharing with you all. Bright and cheerful, I've personally found these designs uplifting during this dreary season.

Regardless of whether you're actually heading into summer or you're
simply dreaming about it you might find these little tags come in handy
for decorating homemade drinks, gift packages, wedding favours, bunches
of flowers... whatever you can imagine.
