Don't feed the animals!

One of the things I love most about collecting vintage (bar the actual discovery of a gem), is the way everything collected comes together to create a unique picture of yourself. 

Recently found (or given - thanks mum and dad!) items have been photos, albums, illustrations, prints, adverts etc.

Having moved into halls of residence this September, I've slowly been decorating my walls and shelves with imagery...

... such as posters, advert boards, scrapbook pictures and illustrations sliced out of falling apart children's books and annuals.

This illustration has everything I love about vintage rolled into one... 

... its got style
colours
fashion
humour, 
innocence
novelty
history
wear and tear...
... and design.


Stay tuned for more bits of my wall...
