welcome to my home: filled to the brim with treasures of the vintage, collected, op-shopped and gifted variety (my favourites). i'm joining in with the retro/vintage inspired corner of my home hosted by Kylie of lucy violet vintage and Donna of hung up on retro, on this sunny autumn Saturday. & also a happy little coincidence that Kim of feather & nest has a second-hand styling link happening too.

so welcome... and come on in.

  13. Oh Zara, your place is lovely (just as I knew it would be!) Where do I start? There's just so many gorgeous things to comment on...one of my favourite pics is the one you call "the hall gallery" I'm a sucker for faded old Namatjira prints (we've got a couple and I can't wait to hang them up), and I love the painting of the Dahlia's underneath it. Gorgeous colours.
    Your placemat is fab too, I'm thinking vintage t.towels...what do you reckon?
    Thanks alot for joining in x
