    Hi Linda, I'm thrilled to bits you joined in - I'm overwhelmed with all of the gorgeous retro bits and pieces in your home, and I love the way you've put it all together. I could keep looking and looking and continue to find new things to ooh and ahh over every time!
    Did you paint that awesome mural? (love it)
    I also love your beautiful fireplace (and the vintage movie poster mural behind it). There not the only things (by a long shot!) but I'd be sat here typing my fingers to the bone if I were to comment on everything!
    Looking forward to your next post, x

      Thanks Kylie! I've been collecting retro things for about 15 and when we bought our house it was a chance to finally get creative with all my stuff! Our house is always changing, I love moving everything around and putting together new displays of my latest finds. The movie poster wall I put together with images from 1960's movie poster book, it took three books to cover the wall! The mural is actually a piece of curtain fabric stretched over a canvas, I found it during my art college days, lying in a front garden, it was covered in woodlice, I can always see potential! Thanks for the fab link up x

    My oh my I am drooling over SO many things here!!!! I love that cabinet with the two drawers & doors, & your pictures on the wall. LOVE the starburst clock. I have one but I would love some more, they are so beautiful. And that china bambi clock or barometer thing...so up my alley! Granny rugs, funky fabrics, kitsch corners, suitcases, the mirror, & that kitchen display. I think I've died & gone to vintage heaven! Thanks for sharing!

      Thanks Leisa! I know you're partial to a vintage deer or two from reading your blog! I bought the deer last weekend, it's a clock (doesn't work) and an ashtray (I don't smoke) but isn't it AMAZING!! The cabinet was given to me by my uncle, it belonged to his aunt, i love it too, in the wood there is the shape of a topless woman! very strange! xx
