Back from Asia – here’s a recapPosted by: naomi @ 6:57 pm in blog news, travel |
I’m back from Asia! Landed last night and I’m extremely jet lagged but I thought I would make a short post to update with some photos from the trip.

Ni hao (Hello) from Asia!Posted by: ryan @ 7:46 pm in miscellaneous, travel |
(I’ll be posting on behalf of Naomi today!) It’s been a week since I left rainy Vancouver with 3 of my girlfriends for Asia and it seems like I brought the rain with me. The first stop was Shanghai and the city didn’t really feel like I was in Asia – probably because of the high number of expats we encountered and the very modern/expensive feel of the city.

Blog news and other miscellanyPosted by: naomi @ 2:02 am in blog news, travel |
Here at the blog, we always love getting feedback and emails from our readers on how to improve the site. Dave Burrows wrote into us the other day and suggested that we use the “My Maps” feature of Google Maps to plot out all the antique shops we’ve written about for easy access for those who want to visit. Great idea Dave – it’s something we will definitely implement before the end of the year, so watch for it.

Embarrassing moment of the centuryPosted by: naomi @ 10:41 pm in home decor, vintage finds |
I’ve been on the hunt for a new fruit bowl for the past few weeks and stopped by one of my favorite vintage/antiques shops in my neighborhood – Step Back (I’ll be doing a separate post on this shop in the future). I saw this really cool looking vintage Red Cross bowl with a handle and red faded paint lining the rim. The Red Cross logo on the side was a cool feature and I felt like this would be the perfect fruit bowl on my kitchen counter.

The First PostPosted by: naomi @ 8:57 pm in blog news |
Every blog has a beginning and this is ours. We are two people who share a passion for all things old and the inspirations you can draw out of them. As this blog grows, we hope to share and interact with like minded people.
Some words to describe the topics we’ll write about:
- Letterpress printing – and the trials and tribulations of putting together your own letterpress shop
- Old, old, very old (did I say old?) cameras and lenses, collecting them, fixing them up and sometimes using them
- DIY refinishing – ever find that awesome (something) at a garage sale/flea market/thrift store? Me too!!
- Vintage home decor and interior design – I swear I was an interior designer in another life, or something like that. The folder of home-living eyecandy sitting on my computer’s hard drive is proof.
That’s enough of an intro for now – hope you’ll stop by often and interact with us.
