Vintage Textiles #1

It's not just historic architecture that I've got a soft spot for. I also adore vintage: Vintage housewares, vintage decor, basically vintage in all categories. I don't have a lot of vintage clothing in my wardrobe, but every now and then I find a great piece. Some of the selections here are from my wardrobe, others are those I've seen out and about, and some will be up for sale in the near future. 

This bright, bold, happy plaid is actually the pattern on a vintage kilt I found years ago. I can't wear it (it's made more for willowy models, sadly), but I've held onto it for many moons. It'll soon be up for grabs, but for now, here's a bit of the fabulous fabric. If I had to date it, I'd say late 60s, maybe early 70s. It's nothing short of dynamite.
