Blast Into The Past Vintage: home decor

Thursday, July 16, 2009

Owls were really popular in the 1960s and 1970s. Maybe it was due to their mysterious ways, or perhaps it's because they are wise, or maybe it is simply because they are adorable and cuddly. I am partial to the latter, myself. So here are some vintage picks with an owl theme. In fact, there is such an owl popularity that I decided to narrow the category down even more to give it a twist. Check out these items and their sellers on Etsy by clicking the links below.

When I think diamonds, I think argyle or kites (or jewels...), but how many of us think of diamonds on fabric, let alone vintage fabric? There are so many various decorative patterns featuring diamonds that are beautiful to work with. Sew a skirt, curtains, pillows, reupholster the kitchen chairs, make a journal or picture frame, create doll clothing, incorporate this into your quilt...... Use your imagination, stretch the limits with your creative ideas. In the meantime, check out a few of these diamond-patterned fabric from a few vintage etsy shops.
