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!

Ooooh yes, I do agree - but not many others will, I suspect. We're showing our age, like all that tat. Give me something with style and quality that I won't find boring after a day or two, I say, even if it's only "vintage".
ReplyDeletesomeone asked me last week what I "did"
ReplyDeleteI was about to reply "I'm a vintage dealer" when I caught sight of myself in the mirror...

ReplyDeleteI've hovered around 24 for far too long. Trouble is I go and put my foot in it and one drops oft. Must keep telling myself... "Youre doing this for you LL!'

Hi, i've just found your blog via hen's teeth. I love your humour, it made me smile. I totally agree about vintage, my mother would say "i've thrown better out" or "wouldn't give it house room". regards jayne x
