What's old is new again.........

It's so strange how things that are old we fall in love with again. This week we have both been falling in love with our pre loved treasures. Sometimes it is just a case of rearranging a room to make you appreciate    the unique items you have. Megan has fallen in love with her old rocking chair and vintage phone (she loves her vintage phone to death, love,love,loves it!!!). Kim has developed a love of old records as art not to mention the idea of learning to crochet again after finding an old 'learn to crochet book' at a local op shop. Maybe this time she will put the idea into action and will be able to crochet some cute patterns from the book (collars and cuffs) and share with you later.  We hope this post has inspired you to rearrange and fall in love with something old again.


This photo was taken while I stripped it back to it's original look.  Now it lives in my office and I use it when I knit.
                                      
My favourite is the South Pacific record....when I found this one my heart sang! I love the others as well, they look lovely as wall art.
 




The fabric on the left is a vintage pillowcase, so lovely! The middle is an off cut of  fabric I plan to craft with and the left is a vintage sheet and I just love the colours.
