The Way We Live With The Things We Love

I’ve just spent the evening thumbing through this amazing new book called ‘The Way We Live With The Things We Love’ from Thames & Hudson. The publisher have brought out some amazing books on style from around the world, and this is no exception. Every page is crammed with glossy photographs of  rooms full of eccentric bric-a-brac, rustic ornaments, beautiful old-fashioned pictures, art, funky furniture and quirky antiques. I especially like the little flea market finds from various parts of Europe - amazing objects that are totally unique. Only problem is, I won’t find any of this on the high street so I’ll have to keep searching the flea markets and hope I can find my own little treasures!

Stylish storage boxes

I recently came across these great vintage style boxes from a lovely company called Rose and Grey.  They are a small family run business with some wonderful products for you and your home.  Guarenteed to add a touch of style and elegance mixed in with a vintage feel…

Sara Berman cushion[1] Union Jack cushions

Everyone’s talking about ‘Cool Britannia’ at the moment, last time I heard that phrase was when Oasis and Blur we’re first in the charts and its made its way around once more!  There are so many wonderful union jack items out there.  I’ve recently bought a lovely union jack cushion from John Lewis for £28 but you can pick them up from all over the place.  Get the look from,  Jan Constantine, Not on the high street, Etsy and many more, just trawl the internet and find your touch of patriotism!

Emma loves retro don’t you know.

By Hayley, 5 April, 2009 9:23 pm

I came across this website today and being a lover of anything retro or vintage I had to add something to my blog about it. Emma just loves recycling and making stuff…

emmalovesretro, sums it up. From old photographs and music, to clothes, cars, fabric and furniture, glass, ceramics, books and magazines… if it’s from the Fifties, Sixties or Seventies, Emma is simply mad about it.
