Vintage treasures...

I love Vintage shopping. It's the thrill of the chase. You never know when you'll unearth a rare or unique piece.

What I love most about vintage and antique finds is the idea that the items have history. I love to think about who owned it before me? Where they bought it from? Was it a favourite or particularly special item to them? Of course, I'll never find the actual answers to these questions, but I love to let my imagination run wild...

Can you judge a book by it's cover?..

You may have seen these gorgeous covers in your favourite bookstore recently. Penguin have re-released some of their classics in this beautiful hard cover series. Titles include the ever popular Pride & Prejudice, Great Expectations, Sense & Sensibility, Little Women, Alice's Adventure's in Wonderland and through the Looking Glass and Lady Chatterley's Lover. The colourful and patterned covers were deigned by Coralie Bickford-Smith and are a matte foil design and clothbound.

I've always meant to start a collection the classics, and now I have my eye on collecting the whole colourful series. They would look great sitting in my bookshelf! (and I can't wait to finally read Lady Chatterley's Lover by D. H. Lawrence)...
