Sunday Market Find

I found these two wonderful posters today at the Sunday Antique Market. They were hand printed in England on linen, as is stated in the corner. On one the words, 'A Dodo Design', appear in the other corner. The size is 19 x 33 inches. They are each mounted to masonite board.

By the colors used I assume these are from the 1960's. The hot pink/orange combination and pop art stylization are very typical of the swinging sixties in London. I have researched online and found there was a Dodo design poster shop in London in the 60's. They still seem to be active so I have emailed the pictures to see if, in fact, they are from that source.

I naturally bought them as an addition to my Etsy shop. Since I have had to wait to determine their value however... I am growing more and more attached to them. I find myself contemplating how I would frame them; where to hang them in the house...

Glorious Vintage Tins

This beautiful collection of tins are pieces I picked up at one of my favorite dealers a couple of weeks ago. Gradually I am listing SOME of them. I, as usual, am not able to let them all go. They suit my lace & button collection too perfectly! He promises to have more on my next visit; where on earth is he getting them all from?

Their timeworn beauty is so comforting somehow. All of them from Scotland or England, it certainly speaks of an era where the pace was slower... The ritual of Tea & Biscuits one can imagine was done properly, with nice tea cups and maybe a roaring fire to sit by.

On one hand I really like modern design, clean lines, keeping it simple...
There is this other side however, my soulful side... wanting to be surrounded by objects with a history; like little ghosts keeping me company...
