Vintage Inspired

I've been a little obsessed lately with vintage inspired accessories, fabrics and patterns...here are just a few of my favorite finds for the home. What vintage resources do you love?
clockwise from top left: Toboggan Shakers; Needlework Pillow; Wise Ol' Cookie Jar; Sunny Woods Rug...all from Anthropologie (one of my favorite stores!).

Via Moda Home, the Apron Cherry and Summer In The City Tablecloth.

Vintage Botanica Dinnerware from Amy Butler. I love this collection! The patterns are so fresh and simple.

  1. in designing any space i would always have to try to incorporate vintage with new or modern. gives the space an interesting time texture. allows a space to have history mixed in with a future history.

  5. such vibrant colors! i love the owl cookie jar and am definitely thinking of getting it, thanks to you!

    i love antique malls as a vintage resource! i have two very large ones very close to my home. i could spend days in them.

    not only are they great for finds, but for inspiration, too!

    and yes, Anthro is a great resource. they are in tune with what is vintage chic and vintage modern. possibly my favorite store on the planet!

  7. I really like all of them, especially the pillow and the dishes. The Toboggan Shakers look a lot like Polish Cheese Ladies that are turned around. Have you ever heard of those? They look like this:
