Vintage inspiration








This weekend i took a trip to a local reclaim centre and antique church as everytime i leave i always feel really inspired! The church in particular is amazing, there is so much stuff in there that i usually spend a good couple of hours having a rummage! This time i was a bit sad to see they have fallen victim to the whole what i call 'cupcake' movement - bunting, cupcake cases, tea sets etc and whilst i love all this i think its beginning to get a bit overated! I did however love the lettering on the bunting as this is something i have never seen before and gives it a fresh update as opposed to having lettering on the triangles. It would be a good way to promote the hand made feel to my brand and could be used in the background of a photoshoot saying 'Beach Hut to BBQ' (although i might work on the name in this project...). The main thing that i loved on my trip was the mix of worn wooden furniture and vintage floral cushions and lampshapes which would be interesting props although i think maybe vintage velvet lampshapes would be better as the prints may be too much with those on my garments. I love the idea of having a BBQ type set up in a field but with a shabby sofa and other interior elements.
