Halloween Vintage Styley

Love this 1972 Halloween costume. What a pair!

 

   Feline friends.

This photo has to be my favourite. You must admit he has the most fascinating demeanor in such a costume. 

Very cute, not sure how practical it was to walk in! 

Magical Halloween.

1960s G-Plan Coffee Table Nest

I love my new vintage treasure, found at the local Salvos shop on the way home from work.

So modern and sleek in style and function.

This fabulous long nest of tables were originally part of the Fresco range by G-Plan, introduced in 1966. The Fresco range was made from teak wood with organic curved lines. It was G-Plan's most successful range and remained in production for many years.

The table tops are veneered in a straight grained, orange toned teak with the edges finished in solid teak. The tables are supported on solid teak end stands which  have curved edges.

  Here is the good news. G-Plan have relaunched Fresco for a new generation. Some changes have been made from the original designs yet still in character with their fluid modern style and use of quality teak wood. 

For more information and photos, visit their site  http://www.gplancabinets.co.uk/search/?range_id=10

Their sideboard and wall mirror are on my wishlist. I just need to move to the UK first!

Retro Photo Effects

There are many free sites online where one can create vintage effects and be very creative to your photographs. 

Here is my first example. A photo of my 4 year old's first day home from kindergarten. Just a little excited and proud of herself and her macaroni necklace!

Original photograph 2012

Using http://pixlr.com/o-matic/, they have many vintage effect available. I used the 'Doug' vintage effect for a subtle change.

Vintage 'Doug' Effect 2012

http://www.instantretro.com/ is a very easy site to use.  You just need to make sure you reset every time you want to try a new effect. Otherwise they will layer and you will loose the quality.

Ava Rose 21012 Original

There are so many options at Instant Retro. I used the 'Glowing Sun' with a Roll Effect. Funnily enough, Ava Rose is wearing a 1970s dancing costume and sitting in front of a 1970s table lamp!

1968 Olympics Uniform

 I found this photo of a very groovy uniform designed for the 1968 Olympic games!

The original caption states - "Sally Welford models one of the cape uniforms that will be worn by the guides during the 1968 Olympics in Mexico City. Designed by Irma Dubost and Julie Murdoch, the outfit is done in a red and white cotton designed with the logotype "Mexico 68."

1960s Mod Fishnet Stockings

I had to share this treasure I have for sale at present.

 A collection of brand new American 1960s fishnets still in their original packaging. 

So in love with the colours - Yellow Sting, Sweetheart Pink and Florida Orange. The back states they are perfect for casual wear, SPORT, campus and townwear. These are the stockings you wear with suspenders!
