I love this fabulous set of retro print fabric by the lovely people over at Fabric Rehab (image used with permission).
The font is Lemondrop by Dafont.

Today’s little design inspiration comes from some vintage soda labels I found on this vintage website. I have also created a soda label insired Photoshop template which you can customise for your own blog buttons and headers. The PSD file is available for free download here. Enjoy!

FREEBIES: Retro & vintage images + blog bits

Posted on: Saturday, January 21, 2012

Inspired by the Enid Blyton childrens book and a love of vintage-inspired tea and cake (any excuse) I created this little blog template/image/background for you to use for FREE! ♡ There is a Photoshop layered file if you want to tinker with that, or JPEGs with & without text that you can take into Picnik (while it is still around – most features will be in Google+ soon though) and add text, crop and tinker as you will. ♡ I have also included 2 images you are welcome to download and use for your blog, illustrations, design or whatever you like! (please read terms and conditions).

Inspiration: Enid Blyton ❤

Posted on: Saturday, January 21, 2012

This inspiration comes from a fabulous Enid Blyton children’s book that we have in the Mini Diva’s room. Mum dug it out for me recently and it’s one I remember from my childhood; I love the colours, layout and typography used. ❤ It has a publication date of 1973, so both it, and I, are retro. Check out the gallery of snaps from the book and feel retro inspired too!
