Things of the Past - vinyl records

Did you know I have a love for vintage items?-- furniture, kitchenware, books, stationery... There is something romantic and beautiful about nostalgic things of the past, which I can't help being drawn to. Sometimes in the afternoon, I sew while listening to oldies (although via CDs and mp3). I am such a grandmama!

Lately, I'm into vinyl records. I don't own a player (maybe one day I will) but the idea of collecting records intrigues me. The slightly tattered cover, the retro images, the fine lines on the record... so beautiful. I spotted these while out and about over the weekend. These are 45rpm. I'm very happy with my buy :)

  2. These records are lovely! I also enjoy collecting little vintage knickknacks, rummaging through antique stores and flea markets.

    1. I know! It's addictive, isn't it? The word "enough" doesn't exist in a collector's dictionary :p

  3. I love vintage too, had been collecting knicks knacks since I was a kid, and I love to wear my grandma's and grandaunt's outfits! lol. There is something dreamy of wearing things from the 50s. You should get a vinyl player, I think its a great investment. The imperfect audio quality is really endearing

    1. Yeah, I suspect, a player is what I'll be blowing my cash on next. Haha. I'm not sure where to start looking yet though.
