Etsy Finds: S is for Ship


We're hoping to nip to the beach tomorrow morning for a coffee by the harbour and a good ole rummage at the flea market. It all depends on the weather. I have started collecting old Savon de Marseille, I love it when they shrink and darken with age. I'll also be looking out for old mirrors, I'd really like to make a feature wall in the bathroom with them. What are you into at the moment, anything in particular?
I've just added a couple of things from Daily Memorandum, it's a beautiful shop, I  like to 'pop in' there from time to time. I thought these vintage educational cards and primitive  ships would work well in a boy's room, what do you think?
Have a lovely Sunday!

Ohio Blue

Feeling Folky?
It's been a while since I visited one of my favourite vintage etsy shops AMradio.
I've no idea how old these ohio blue tip match boxes are but I love the colours and the primitive folk designs and I'm sure they'd look great on display or used as a small gift box. Someone has to add them to their collection!

You might like to take a peek at this Playskool Owl while you're over there, I swear it's one of the nicest kids' clocks I've ever seen.
