interior inspiration : vintage collections.













Oh, how I love seeing other people's collection of vintage beauties. I feel a sort of kinship with others who scour estate sales, antique shops, and thrift stores for old goodies. Around our home, we have collections of old cameras (film and video), records, vintage fisher price toys, photographs of people with their pets, and little animals. What do you collect?

  10. I collect vintage cameras too. I also collect weird old photos, vintage post cards, and mid-century dishes (mainly Fiestaware). We had it in our house growing up- my parents used to buy old pieces at flea markets. Collections are fun.
