The Blush List - Vintage Inspired

Knitting // The embroidery on this vintage knit sweater is so inspiring! It gives me so many great ideas for sweater makeovers. 
Crochet // This pretty, puffy, crochet flower pattern is definitely tempting me to start another blanket. The pattern was inspired by Dottie Angel's amazing thrifty find
Etsy // I love the bold patterns on these vintage cups.



Style // I am a new reader of Esme and the Laneway but I already love her vintage style. This outfit has me craving crisp autumn days, coats, boots, and mittens. 
Art // A walk through a flower shop in a pretty vintage coat (and probably hat too!) sounds wonderful right now. This print by Emma Block is one of my current favorites. 
Food // I'm not sure if food can be vintage, that would probably be dangerous! Haha. A bundt cake always reminds me of days gone by and these little lemon yogurt bundt cakes sound scrumptious. 


I guess I'm feeling the love for all things vintage after my first successful thrifting trip last weekend. I took your advice and researched estate sales in my area and actually found one near my neighborhood. My first estate sale experience was pretty great and I actually found some good treasures! Yay! Now I'm hooked on vintage and it looks like there is no going back. :)

I hope you all had a great weekend! I worked on projects all weekend so it didn't feel like much of a break for me. Hopefully I can unplug for the evening at least to enjoy a movie and read some more of my current book, The Night Circus. It is SO good. I desperately want to go to this circus and have some chocolate covered popcorn. Mmm. :)

Enjoy the rest of your Sunday!

  4. That post is so inspiring. I'm kind of an illustration addict and the one by Emma Block is clearly one of the most beautiful I ever seen. The colors, flowers, and yes, that vintage colorful coat!

  16. Love your blush list!!! (As always...) :)

    I should embroider some of my cloth too! (I've already done it on a sweater I gave my mom as a gift, but that doesn't really count as embroidery, as it were only some very simple flowers...;))

    Best wishes, yoojin
