Throw back Thursday - Vintage on Pinterest

For today's throw back Thursday I went pinning for vintage.  Let's see what I found.

 

 

This photo has been pinned so many times (over 80) that finding the original site is hopeless.  But I love this tub.  Growing up we had a wonderful old claw foot bathtub just like this, and to a kid of 5 -8 it was like having an indoor pool.  I would still love to have one today.

 

 

I'm crazy for vintage suitcases.  I look at them and wonder about the people who owned them.  And when you open them up, and get that musty smell, I can only imaging the stories of their travels to exotic places.  It gives me a bit of the wanderlust.

 

 

I love the styles of clothing from the bygone eras.  Such class and femininity.  But these corsets? I probably couldn't get one leg in there.  And my waist? Forget it! lol

 

Well, those are my finds for today.  Are you "into" vintage or retro?  Do you sell or blog about those days? If so, leave your shop or blog link in the comment section so I can look you up.  Until then, here are a few of my fav vintage bloggers.

Saturday Shopping Link Up - childhood memories

So while writing yesterday's post, I thought that a fun theme idea would be linky up things that would remind us of a childhood memory.  It can be an item, a color, anything that sends you back in time.  And I'm going to add a second step to this linky party.  After linking up your item or blog, from any shop not just Etsy, leave a comment telling us your childhood memory.  Here's what I found...

Ok, who did not have Tupperware back in the 60's and 70's, raise your hand.  My mother had a small room/large closet dedicated to just her Tupperware, lol.  Everyone sold it and everyone bought it.  And why not, it was, and is, some of the sturdiest storage sets around.  I found this great Back to School Tupperware Lunch Box in the shop of Well Lush.  Very groovy!

Wow, Love Story, talk about your classic romance movie.  I grew up in a house of women, and we would just cry and cry at the end of this, and enjoy it while crying, talk about hormones, lol.  Back then they didn't need sex to sell a movie, just great acting and great music.  This is an Vintage Record Album upcycled to a journal.  You can find this in the shop of Red Cottage, which is filled with wonderful vintage books, record cover journals, and photographs.

When I saw this Vintage 1970's Crochet Camisole pattern, I was floored.  Not only did I make this camisole, I still have the whole magazine that the pattern was featured in.  Hmmmm, there's a summer project for me.  This pattern and many others can be found in the shop of Cemetarian.

Now that I found 3 great items to share with you, it's your turn to share with me, and all your friends.  Don't forget to comment and share your memory.  The more the merrier.
