Vintage has had its day.
You've heard it here first...
or maybe not?
'What makes you say that?'
I hear you cry...
Well in my...
'I remember that first time round opinion',
trudging around a fair
last week I felt decidedly under-whelmed with what was on offer.
Stalls topped up with old tat, chipped enamel, faded this, even more faded that.
Don't get me wrong I ought to say here and now, I'm as guilty as the next person,
with a home full of jaded artifacts...
Me being the main one!
Why are we all so keen to follow the in-crowd.
Have any of us stopped and thought...
'What the hell are we doing upcycling, recycling, bi-cycling?'
Our lemming tendencies make me smile.
Have you noticed the prices are dropping as well?
Economic climate...
or just folk getting bored...
there's only so much vintage a girl can take.
While we're all looking backwards, we've missed what the mirror is telling us...
We're beginning to look the part...
It's called OLD in my book!
