THAT NOSTALGIC FEEL PART 2


I have already posted a "That Nostalgic Feel" post a while back, like another favorite "Simple Everyday" (and it's follow up)  I need to do a part 2.  Somehow I just always find great inspiration for this theme ........
So for starters don't you just adore beautiful old libraries......
found here 

.... and headscarves.

Old school photos .....

Glass Coke bottles, somehow Coke just tasted better out of these bottles, not to mention how much better they looked.

This room, old photos, suitcases,the wardrobe and of course the wallpaper.

Old stores specializing in just one thing, not 500 different things.

The beautiful Josefin from this blog, she has such a classic look that manages to look modern and old world all at the same time.  Not to mention her chair and wallpaper.

A bed made with crisp white sheets and good blankets all tucked in tight ..... not a duvet in sight.

This is one of my daughters art works from her early school days .... it was drawn with a felt tip pen and then tea stained, I loved it so much I framed it in this old vintage frame !!!

Love the photographs from this children's clothing site ....

Wonderful collection! It's hard for me to choose a favorite, in fact, I think it's the grouping that makes them even more lovely!
