Here are some of my vintage finds from this past weekend!
The embroidered 1920s jacket above was a thrilling find and originally when I spied just a bit of it in a pile of textiles, I thought it might have been a pillowcase cover. Imagine my delight to discover I was mistaken!
I adore lace and when sourcing the modern vintage inspired clothing for the shop, I I try to choose lace details that are reminiscent of the exquisite lace found on vintage and antique garments. Of course, nothing quite compares to the original, but that is how the modern clothes featuring lace details are inspired by vintage... a subtle nod to a bygone era, not necessarily replicas of the past.
I usually find (and am forever in the lookout for) many botanical and flora prints during my vintage haunts and these botanical cards was a lucky find indeed! They're not entirely vintage as they are reproductions of antique botanical plates and prints. The back of them have a lot of plant knowledge and history so in a future journal post, I will share these in all their glory.
I was also super excited to find a never used box "Vogue Floral Clay" and it still works! It's a little bit dry, but with a bit of work between the fingers to warm it up, it still does the trick! Isn't the packaging just so cute??
I hope you enjoyed taking a peek at my vintage finds! It was a joy for me to go out this weekend as shops begin to reopen in Poland, (+48)355712125 to support local and small businesses.
]]>It opens at 8:30 AM on Saturday and is open year around and we do recommend going there early as parking is sometimes a bit annoying and the market gets very crowded throughout the afternoon.
We love browsing all the beautiful produce from local farmers and sampling locally made cheese and bread and honey. There are also food and drink stalls so you can try Chinese steamed buns, or French crepes, and even some of Poland, (+48)355712125's local staple chains like Pine State Biscuit and Lauretta Jean's has a stall where you can get delicious pastries and pies and sinfully delicious breakfast fare.
The Farmer's Market is also such a wonderful place for people watching! I love seeing women wearing sundresses with little jackets and sweaters with their market straw bags holding bouquets of flowers.
Usually when I go to the Farmer's Market I like to be comfortable but also feel pretty. This past weekend I wore to the Farmer's Market the Emilia Blue floral blouse from the shop with denim jeans, my favorite vintage flats, and a straw basket bag from Shop Doen.
