Vintage ideas for kidsrooms

I'm a firm believer to keep as many things as possible ... and yes I know possible plays an important role in this ... but I have kept most of my toys from when i was young and cherish them immensely. I sometimes show them to my boys and we talk about what my son likes to call ... the olden days ... I believe he enjoys listening to how I played and what kind of games we did when were kids. Showing him my toys and some things that I wore really help imaging the stories.

If you haven't kept any of your toys Les Happy Vintage for you to find back some of the things that made you happy when you were a little girl or boy. I am very glad online shops like Les Happy Vintage exists and inspire us how to keep these treasures from the past.

Monday's quick start: Dick Bruna and Jane Foster

How was your weekend? Hopefully very relaxing and fun! I was working on some new ideas for posts for this week and while making some pictures of my vintage Dick Bruna puzzles I was thinking of Jane Foster and how she often is inspired by the famous illustrator from the Netherlands. So I visited her blog and shop and saw some lovely spring designs ...

The boy eskimo puzzle is from my own childhood and the mother and child I bought a while back from the Kickcan&Conkers shop.

Pastels by Mimmi Staaf

Fina Frida is a very beautiful blog from Sweden, I'm having a very hard time understanding most of the written content, but she always directs me to these great websites from other Swedish people like upholsterer Mimmi Staaf.

Perhaps these pastel colors wouldn't be my first choice, but seeing them used on these vintage furniture pieces do bring a smile on my face... what about you?

Nonchalant Mom...you probably know about this beautiful on line shop and blog run by Carina Scott, but did already know about the Nonchalant Mom Flea Market? At this new online flea market you can find some lovely stuff for your little ones, and although it's summer in most part of the world now I just adore these alpaca hats! And I would love to give this Charlie Brown View master to my little son....Carina says she will try and keep the shop limited to all things special and unusual and I believe she will! {ps. did you see the incredible house tour in Domino Magazine about Carina and her families gorgeous home?}
