There is too much adoreableness going on up in here.

I love those old blueware plates you find from Northern Europe to begin with, but with the extra little splashes of colour? Oh, my, too cutie cute!

You all know, I’m a sucker for the nautical look, and I’m a sucker for cats.

Well, look! A teensy-tiny-kitty hammock! With Sailors! The kitty even looks like my little flora!

I should really get her a little hammock like this, she’d love it (if only I could find a sail-maker who’d whip one up for me).

Seriously, the whole Ship’s Cat article on Wikipedia is a fine read.

Sorry people, I’ve been lazy and busy. But here’s a lovely little snap of the annual Governor’s Island Jazz Age Picnic in NYC.

Doesn’t it look positively dreamy? Someday, I’ll go. In the meantime, I am planning my own little picnic in my own little backyard.

I have this little dream.

Here in Ontario, owning a vacation home is actually quite commonplace, and not as hoity-toity and well-to-do as it is other places… or at least it was anyway. It’s becoming very dear and expensive these days, with our ever raising real estate.

So, even though my extended family shares a cottage, I dream of having our own little place someday, that’s just ours. Someplace I don’t have to worry about taking from or adding to in any way, or cleaning up when I leave it.

I’d like to buy an shiny old airstream, and refurbish it. I’d kit the thing out adorably. I’d put old quilts and army blankets on the beds. I’d collect pretty old plates and mugs for the kitchen. I’d spread one of my vintage tablecloths on the little table in the eating nook.  I’d build a little deck under a striped awning, and plant geraniums in little window boxes.

Ideally it’d it’d be entirely self-sufficient too (solar power and all that stuff).

Then I’d rent a far corner of a farmers field (preferably next to some kind of body of water – a little creek would do nicely) and park it there.

It would be so lovely.

There’s more examples of lovely little vintage trailers on poppytalk and love forever.

This killer example of mid century graphic design (along with many others) was found and documented by London Underground workers in an long abandoned part of the Notting Hill Tube station in London.

I love that the patina of age and neglect has only added to this poster.

There’s more amazing treasures from the past to be found in the set on flickr.
