Vintage Botanical Wall Charts


For a long time, I was looking these Beautiful Botanical Wall Charts appearing in my favourite Home and Design Magazines being part of houses decoration and giving a really amazing look on their walls.
Who knew that actually they were created as Educational Classrooms support at Schools!
Their size, colours and so detailed illustrations mixed with the wear from years give them that special Vintage and warm charm.

Vintage Style Halloween Decoration

...well, at least if we are talking about amazing and original wall decorations :)


No, we don´t have flying witches, lightning pumpkins, blood-red bulbs or fluffy bats hanging from the lamps with same blood-red bulbs...

All those things you can find in any commercial centre and all of them you can find in any house decorated for the Halloween night(s).
Now, don´t take us wrong, we have nothing against world-wide usual Halloween decorative items. At the end, we use them also! :)

Here we only want to show you how you can make your Halloween decoration in one a bit different way, with a classy touch of Vintage.
We are happy to say how in our shop we have a nice number of Vintage German school pull down charts, which today presents original and with all colours, contrasts and details, really outstanding wall decoration. Another amazing thing is that, although all of them are from mid ´60s till mid ´70s, almost all are in excellent condition!
Some of them can be perfect choice for the Halloween wall decoration.

Can a spider be beautiful and creepy in same time?
Can details of a normal cat show us how that "pet" can be... scary?
Can a horse be spooky?
Can a giant fly on a wall or small ocean creatures show us how ideas for aliens we don´t have to look out from Earth?
And what about good, old bat!? ;)

And just to ad for the end, these animals aren´t for Halloween decoration only, of course!
Depending on different cultures, many of them are symbols of good luck or...something like that ;)

Check here some of our Vintage "Halloween" wall charts and for more wall charts find a minute to jump in our shop.

Coffee Grinders - timeless charm





























Nowadays, as a decoration in vintage or rustic style (well, it goes one with another) old coffee grinders are one of most favorited items. Metal ones, wooden ones, plastic ones,... smaller ones, bigger ones, table ones, wall mounted ones,... 30 years old, 130 years old,... French, Spanish, Turkish, German,... there are really many kind of them and all of them are in their own way really special.

Depending on condition, they can be quite pricey but still, the most popular ones, smaller table ones, are affordable.
Like restored ones which looks like new or in original and now a "rusty" condition, coffee (and spice) grinders are 100% "eye-catchers".

Here you can check our store where, among many other Vintage items, we have also a coffee grinders :)
