This Saturday just gone we went along to the Vintage and Craft Fair in Stroud. Organised and run by The Hels Belles Boutique, the fair was held in association with the James Hopkins Trust, right in the heart of Stroud. The Subscription Rooms, where the event was held, boasted a great selection of stalls selling all sorts of vintage and handmade goods.

Old London Road
Last week my husband was pleasantly surprised to find that he had a few spare holiday days left to take from work before the end of the year. His mum very kindly looks after our little one for the day once a week, so we decided to take the opportunity to do a spot of shopping. We'd been meaning to explore the local vintage scene a bit more since moving house last year, but with an 18 month old in tow... It's been a challenge!

Ideal (Retro) Home
Shortly after we moved into our current home, a friend of ours very kindly lent us their copy of 'Ideal Home' Magazine from July 1959, so that we could get a bit of inspiration for decorating our new place. I absolutely love looking back through old books and magazines to gather ideas. It's wonderful to imagine somebody picking up their copy from the local newsagents decades ago and eagerly flicking through the pages. Even the advertisements are simply fascinating!
