jet set

These prints (spotted on Grain Edit yesterday) from uber-talented designer/illustrator Neil Stevens had me swooning. They are all based on vintage airline baggage tags. I love information graphics as art. They are available to buy here!

vintage french ephemera feast

I'm a sucker for vintage ephemera... especially if it's French! I have found the most incredibly stream on Flickr belonging to Agence Eureka. A vast collection of quality labels, vintage children's books, ephemera and so on. These labels first caught my eye, but then I started to pour over the collections (and I shall be for weeks it seems) and turned up some real gems like these book covers.

Aren't they beautiful! Some of the images are creative commons so do take some time out to pay a visit.

Great British vintage tit-bits from the arthur... our common wealth.

thermos flasks

I'm having a nostalgic moment on this cold and grey day in Athens (yes, it happens). Flasks full of hot tea, sandwiches and checked blankets in the car by the seaside with my nan (yes she had a caravan too)... beautiful thermos flasks!
