Vintage Love :: My New Bike

Look at what Mr A gave me for my birthday this week:

A dark green Raleigh Superbe, aren't I a lucky girl? I'm going to get myself a basket and at some point I think I'm going to change the seat, but I think she is absolutely beautiful! I've called her Matilda. I aim to ride her everyday and get uber-fit for the summer - well, that's the plan anyway .....

Do you have a bike?

Have fun. xx

Vintage Love :: Little Elephant

When I was a kid in the 70s my Grandmother had a large collection of these little chaps:

After much nagging she eventually let me take this little elephant home with me and he has had pride of place in my own home ever since.

Just recently I have noticed that lots of these little guys are popping up at Vintage Fairs, etc, so I think I am now going to start collecting my own little gang - how cute would that be? 

Do you collect them too? What animals do you have?

Have fun. xx
