If you are wondering what to do with those old mags lying around then here's an idea. Melissa Gable from Austin Texas creates these wonderful paper collage/compositions using imagery from retro mags. Absolutely love it. A great inspiration!

I spotted this wonderful retro inspired packaging on The Dieline. Designed by an ingenious Australian firm Studio Bomba, this packaging would look absolutely gorgeous in my 1950s kitchen!
Before For those of you interested here are a few pics of the Messagemark Studio renovation before and after! It was a fun project to work on with my best buddy Denis. It certainly kept the renovation bug at bay for a few months anyway! I thrive on projects like this!
My new "Nonite Owl" from little luv completes the picture in my current RETRO OWL window display. Little Luv lovingly makes a beautiful range of handmade toys made from gorgeous retro fabric. Each character is completely unique.
The cushion behind nonite owl has a cool story too. It was a Birthday gift from my sister Lynne, and was originally a prop from the Australian TV Program McLeods Daughters!! Lynne was an 'extra' in the show, however she actually found the pillow at a local garage sale in the Barossa. So I now own something famous - well kind of!
Sharing my love of all things retro and our D.I.Y. renovations at home. This is a candid record of my emotional journey of being a sentimental collector while aspiring to be a minimalist! Enjoy!
