vintage love

A few weeks back I went to car boot sale and had kid in a sweetshop type moment when I found lots (and lots) of vintage lace and crochet. I didn't buy half as much as I could have (or wanted) but I did pick up some very pretty pieces indeed for just a few poundsI really like this little box of buttons. The people's box contained 4 linen covered buttons - a good assortment?
I'm have quite a lot of vintage love at the moment - I've also started purchasing odds and ends of fine bone china for a little 'project' I am planning. Will share more about this soon.

What lovely finds. I'm useless at spotting bargains at car boots or charity shops.

Vintage really is in fashion at the mo - the question is - how long will it last? I hope it lasts a while! xxx
