Knitting // The embroidery on this vintage knit sweater is so inspiring! It gives me so many great ideas for sweater makeovers.
Crochet // This pretty, puffy, crochet flower pattern is definitely tempting me to start another blanket. The pattern was inspired by Dottie Angel's amazing thrifty find.
Etsy // I love the bold patterns on these vintage cups.
Style // I am a new reader of Esme and the Laneway but I already love her vintage style. This outfit has me craving crisp autumn days, coats, boots, and mittens.
Art // A walk through a flower shop in a pretty vintage coat (and probably hat too!) sounds wonderful right now. This print by Emma Block is one of my current favorites.
Food // I'm not sure if food can be vintage, that would probably be dangerous! Haha. A bundt cake always reminds me of days gone by and these little lemon yogurt bundt cakes sound scrumptious.
I guess I'm feeling the love for all things vintage after my first successful thrifting trip last weekend. I took your advice and researched estate sales in my area and actually found one near my neighborhood. My first estate sale experience was pretty great and I actually found some good treasures! Yay! Now I'm hooked on vintage and it looks like there is no going back. :)
I hope you all had a great weekend! I worked on projects all weekend so it didn't feel like much of a break for me. Hopefully I can unplug for the evening at least to enjoy a movie and read some more of my current book, The Night Circus. It is SO good. I desperately want to go to this circus and have some chocolate covered popcorn. Mmm. :)
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!









I'm so happy you've fallen for vintage! It's my favorite thing :) I'm really looking forward to your future vintage posts!

How fun! Sounds like you had a great weekend and I adore your list! I read the Night Circus with a friend recently and we both loved it! Happy reading and have a beautiful week!
ReplyDeleteI would love the circus + chocolate covered popcorn!
ReplyDeleteThat post is so inspiring. I'm kind of an illustration addict and the one by Emma Block is clearly one of the most beautiful I ever seen. The colors, flowers, and yes, that vintage colorful coat!

ReplyDeleteI'm reading The night circus as well, I'm about half-way down and I love it. One of my favorites from this year already.
ReplyDeleteWhat a great post! I especially love that crochet flower pattern! I already have 3 blankets started though... I probably shouldn't start another! haha

Love your blush list!!! (As always...) :)
ReplyDeleteI should embroider some of my cloth too! (I've already done it on a sweater I gave my mom as a gift, but that doesn't really count as embroidery, as it were only some very simple flowers...;))
Best wishes, yoojin
love the puffy little crochet flowers on that blanket - especially the first one, those colours are perfect! x
