Let it swim
Continuing my search for vintage pattern inspirations… (please see here for previous post)
When I was down in Cape Cod this past weekend, I found a couple of things at Randy’s family cottage (filled with vintage goodies!):
Flowers and polka dots pattern.
and the lamp shade. I like the checkered background for the flowers.
Floral Canister Set by olivepit on Etsy — Very simple and bold cute flower graphic.
As I mentioned, I am off to Boston and Vermont for a wedding… I am actually on the road right now! Thanks to my iPhone, I can blog from a car ride :)
Just wanted to wish you a happy weekend, hope the rest of the week is filled with inspirations!
I took this picture in my neighborhood, I was just drawn to it when I walked by, the dotted numbers and big white flowers in tin cans… It wasn’t staged or anything, but it spoke to me and it looked conceptual or styled for a photoshoot to me… Don’t you think?!
I will be back on Monday!!
While I’ve been getting inspirations for vintage patterns, I also have found some cool vintage goods that I can use for my new office… (we are switching rooms this summer, setting up new office space very soon — hope to show some here!) I need a major re-organization and my shop stuff keeps piling up… so as we are getting new shelves, desks, etc. and I need new old stuff to not only decorate the office room, but also to make it function… and here are my finds I want to share :)

Industrial Galvanized Metal Boxes:
Happy Friday!

Today is my Dad’s birthday!! Happy birthday, Dad, we love you!!!! :)
I am always drawn to vintage things (like letterpress press to begin with), its value, its nostalgia, and its beautiful pattern (if there is). They are priceless. I am getting inspirations for my next project and so I have been keeping my eye out for pretty vintage patterns, I thought I would share them here.
