My names Lauren and I am a vintage addict.

I have got this addiction. Its actually taking over my life. I cant go a day without it.

I am addicted to vintage. I am addicted to thrifting. I am addicted to old.



 And do you know what?. I am the happiest I have ever been.

 I am happy when I'm wearing vintage clothes. I am happy listening to old records. I am happy drinking from a vintage cup. I am happy wrapped in a vintage blanket.


 
 And even better my children are too.

  I love it that Poppy asks for £1 when we are thrifting and goes off on her own little adventure. Hunting for a new fangled toy or dressing up clothes. I (possibly!) could afford to give her the money to spend  in a toy shop but she is learning the value of money and the importance of spending wisely.

Poppy and her latest find!!.


 I love the fact that even at 3 years old she knows who the Beatles are. ( We have a way to go with the twins yet!).




I love that she sits with me whilst we read old books. And watch old films.


 
 All with the comforts of 2012.

 Life is good.
