Get The Look..........

The Vintage Look (photo from trishhunterfinds.com.au)

Love the vintage look?  Creating your own vintage camping look is too easy!  One of the best way to create a stylish vintage feel to your next camping adventure is with textiles and fabrics.  

Rugs are fabulous!  They can be new, vintage, fluffy, cotton, knitted.....anything!  I love the cosy feel rugs give to our tent.  They feel decadent in a camp setting!  The added bonus, they help protect the floor of your tent and stop those "gritty bits" finding their way into your bed at night.  I like sand and grass, but I don't want to sleep with it between my sheets!  

Vintage Fabric Bunting 

Vintage fabrics - true vintage textiles are hard to replace, but you can get a similar look with new fabrics too.  Owning a vintage textile store means that we have the luxury of genuine vintage fabrics at our disposal.  You can view some here!   I love to add vintage fabric bunting, cushions, and table covers!   You can even purchase vintage fabric bunting kits at Vintage Fabric Online. 

Add a vintage tablecloth over your camp table to create an instant Posh feel!  We also use vintage tea towels ( I love the ones you find with crocheted edging).  You can also create your own feel but picking up some souvenir towels in your travels.  If you are clever enough to be able to add the crochet edging, lucky you!  

If you cannot find the real deal, you can purchase some cool looking vintage inspired fabrics over at Funky Fabrix! 

One of our vintage cloths, and vintage colour pencils too!

We also love vintage blankets!  After spending a few months in New Zealand I came home with 2 suitcases full of stunning vintage woollen blankets!  Some I have used for crafting, the others I cannot part with and have become part of our camping family!  I also love vintage crochet rugs and blankets, but new ones work just as well!  

Vintage Blankets and Vintage Fabric Cushions.

Recently on a camping trip to Killarney,  we found ourselves without enough blankets, so popped into Warwick to check out the op shops!  We found the most stunning 1960s vintage feather duvet (made in NZ) for a bargain price of $20!  Now it comes on every trip!  I also bring along our vintage sheets found in an op shop in NZ! 

Our vintage duvet and sheets - POSH!! 

I have started to search for lovely vintage cutlery, plates and cups.  You can pick up vintage melamine for a steal still, but those vintage enamel plates and cups are becoming harder to find!  I did buy a set of new enamel plates just recently, that work fine too!  

Enamel plates and cups add to that vintage book.

Throw in some lovely candles and candle holders, a vintage jug or two, and some lovely vintage baskets and you are just about done!  

Happy Posh Vintage Camping!
