Dear Photograph

This idea is genius in it´s simplicity. Hold up a photograph from the past in front of the same location where it was shot and photograph this setting in the present. What a beautiful way to remember the old days. You will be surprised how much things have changed over the years.

Dear Photograph was founded in May 2011, by Taylor Jones and has become very popular since. 

I posted my favorites pics but there are many more on the website or you can even upload a picture yourself.

Pretty Things for a rainy day

one : with this pretty pillow to lay my head on, I am ready for a rainy and lazy weekend
two: with this bag in mind, I can dream about travelling to sunny places
three: with this lovely dotted box, I have a secret hiding place for my favourite books
four: with this weather, I take time to braid my hair


Wish you all a happy weekend!

Dear Creatures Dresses

These summer dresses really are Dear Creatures, I wouldn´t even know which one to choose.
These dresses are from the Dear Creatures Spring 2011 collection (I am too late, I know ...) which was inspired by everything nostalgic, playful and lighthearted. Very very pretty and lighthearted indeed!
Most of the Dear Creatures shops are in the USA (although there is one in Italy and in France too), but they also sell their lovely collections online, which makes us Europeans happy. 

Rock this Necklace

Handmade necklace with tiny black harmonica pendant. 
The coolest thing about this necklace is that the harmonica actually works. So, let´s test if there is hiding a Neil Young or Bob Dylan in you!
The necklace is 66 cm (26 inches) long and the pendant measures 38 mm.
Price: 12 euro


This article and other necklaces are for sale in my facebook shop or you can contact me by e-mailing to thevintageblues@gmail.com.

New design for The Vintageblues

A young Belgian artist and good friend of mine, Suzy Castermans, designed this print for The Vintageblues, which will be published in August in a new Berlin magazine called " Warm Feet".
It was excited to work together with her, since she is not only a devoted and gifted "vintage-treasure hunter" but also, as a young graduate, the illustrator of two published Belgian children´s books (Groot genoeg voor een knuffel and Tok, de Kip). Her work can be admired on birdiebyebye and her inspirations on her lovely blog called theseepoint.


Thanks again for the cooperation Suzy!
