Product Description
Review
Diamante buckles and brooches, scraps of satin and lace, mother of pearl buttons in a variety of shapes and ribbons and trims in every hue of the rainbow, all carrying a history of nostalgic memories from the decade of their inception. Jane Cassini and Ann Brownfield present their thoughts, tips and experience of this vintage treasure trove and show how these little gems of days long gone can be resurrected into the present day, to bring joy once again to the owner or recipient. From where to find vintage inspiration to how to display them in today's home. Or how to incorporate them into a table setting, transform them into something new - lace-trimmed evening bags, beribboned cushions and diamante mirrors. Sure to inspire all owners of things from a time past and allow them to impart their own piece of history for future generations to look back on with nostalgia. - Lucy Watson

This is one of my all-time favourite books. In fact, I've just re-bought it as I lent it to my mum and she asked to keep my copy...
I am currently in the process of starting my own interior design business and this book is incredibly inspiring as I specialise in vintage style. The photographs are gorgeous, there are plenty of tips on sourcing materials and there are lots of ideas for your own projects. 'Vintage Inspirations' will make you want to go treasure-hunting and create beautiful displays. And it may make you think twice about throwing away those bits and pieces you thought you'd have no use for. Highly recommended - buy it!
