By Jane Cassini and Ann Brownfield
Buy Vintage
Inspirations from

or from Amazon.com
(called Vintage Treasures in the USA).
 How
often do you see pretty objects at antiques fairs, car boot
sales or in junk shops but you don't know how you would use
them?
Maybe you just
don't know where to look for unusual things that would enhance
your home.
This new book
from publishers Ryland
Peters & Small should solve your problems. Beautifully
and copiously illustrated with photographs taken by Caroline
Arber, its authors tell you where to look for vintage items
and how to see the possibilities in unusual objects.
Had you thought of
using a beautiful chiffon scarf to enhance a cushion cover or
use as a curtain tieback? How about using an Edwardian organza
petticoat or a straw hat over a lampshade? These are just a few
of the interesting ideas in the book.
There are many others.
For example, Jane Cassini and Ann Brownfield show ways to use
old photographs, postcards and Christmas cards. They also show
ways to use vintage treasures for special occasions like Christmas,
Easter, Valentine's Day and weddings.
This is a delightful
book, full of interesting and unusual ways of using vintage objects
that inject a personal touch, unique in these days of mass production.
 To
complement the book, there is an address
book and a pack of Vintage
Treasures notecards with envelopes, both using
photographs from the book. Either or both would make ideal Christmas
gifts as would Vintage Inspirations itself.
