Last week my husband was pleasantly surprised to find that he had a few spare holiday days left to take from work before the end of the year. His mum very kindly looks after our little one for the day once a week, so we decided to take the opportunity to do a spot of shopping. We'd been meaning to explore the local vintage scene a bit more since moving house last year, but with an 18 month old in tow... It's been a challenge!

Ideal (Retro) Home
Shortly after we moved into our current home, a friend of ours very kindly lent us their copy of 'Ideal Home' Magazine from July 1959, so that we could get a bit of inspiration for decorating our new place. I absolutely love looking back through old books and magazines to gather ideas. It's wonderful to imagine somebody picking up their copy from the local newsagents decades ago and eagerly flicking through the pages. Even the advertisements are simply fascinating!

A Little Bit of Vintage
In my humble opinion, nothing looks quite as sweet as little ones dressed in vintage. Unfortunately thanks to hand-me-downs and the like, genuine vintage children's clothing is very hard to come by. Thankfully it is relatively easy to find vintage inspired kidswear on the high street, and this season is by no means an exception.
