Folksy Handmade Gift Ideas - Vintage/Retro / Men Pt 2.


Mosaic Plaque (Dad's shed sign?)


As I had to combine these two gift list boards when I was making them the first time round (due to Pinterest not playing the game that day), I thought I might as well update both lists together. So please have a browse for newly found items for both Vintage/Retro lovers, and Mens gifts.

Retro Roses

Retro Roses Mosaic Bird Bath

Retro Roses Mosaic Bird Bath


This is my latest bird bath design, it's called Retro Roses. It's another one that's been inspired by vintage fabric. This time it's 50's style fabric. Pale pink roses, on a jet black background. The spaces are filled with tiny rosebuds, with apple green leaves. The jet black tiles are slightly shiney so they set off the matt pink roses really well.

Folksy Handmade Gift Ideas - Vintage / Retro


I love retro, and vintage, so this was an easy list for me to put together. There's some fab things here, and lots of new shops.

Bit of a mare on Pinterest today, I couldn't set up a new board for this theme. So, I've added it onto the Men's gift idea board. Not a bad thing. It means the Men's gifts get a second wind.

I don't have anything vintage/retro to go on the list, so the pic to go with this blog is my closest look item which is my slate daisy ornament/letter rack, it has a slightly vintage look about it. The items on my gift list have a much more retro/vintage feel.

Have a look and see for yourself -
