little people

got to get myself back on a machine

adore this vintage little people person

must get back & sew something
 soon

 i have quite a collection of little people

well of course its Oscar's but you know

it's mine also ... but none of it is real vintage

except the very cool airport we have

do have some fp anniversary reproduced vintage

.... that amazing collection is at my parents house

do you remember playing with these?

mmm .... might 'need' to find one of these cute

sewing girls ...

 

cute poster hey?

can't find its original source

think it may have been a seller on etsy

but .... spotted here

heART a craft :: vintage dresser

"heART a craft"

a collection of favourite images & ideas

collection no.7

 i've always loved a vintage dresser

you know, a kitchen cabinet

the ones that right up until the 1950's ...

housed everything you needed in your kitchen

before the days of formica & permanently fitted units

no caesar stone, kickers or soft closing drawers

they held all the crockery & utensils

as well as food stapels & even the perishables

sometimes they even had the 'meat safe' buit-in!

'meat safe' .... back in those 'olden days'

what is a 'meat safe' you ask?

cute video that tells you all about one of our great Aussie inventions!

so i've been hunting on ebay for ages

looking for just the right

vintage kitchen dresser to put in my new studio

i was looking for one with great character of course!

little compartments & drawers

was keen for one that had an access space

yep found it .... bid & won yay!!

perfect proportion, size & function
this is it - although i do quite like all of the above as well!

the blue is of course all 'just the wrong' fit for me

but that's only paint & paint i can 'do'!

i really love it & i know where its going

& its waiting sitting patiently for the big move

stay tuned for a revamp & styling update at some stage!!
