Handmade Skull & Pearl Necklace
For a show-stopping necklace that incorporates vintage materials but at the same time is absolutely of the moment, look no further than the handmade jewellery of Jennie Sharman-Cox.
Sharman-Cox scours flea markets for vintage fabrics, beads, faux pearls and original military regalia and reworks them into original pieces of jewellery. The Skull and Pearl Necklace is entirely hand-stitched and beaded. A backing of antique cream linen with a layered lace panel is topped with an original brass crown and a design of vintage faux-pearls and cream, gold and red seed beads. The resin skull gives a contemporary twist.
The necklace costs £199. Check out Jennie's Etsy Shop here.
Limited edition God Save The Kinks screenprint by Hand Drawn Creative
If you are a fan of the legendary British band, Neal McCullough of Hand Drawn Creative just might have the thing for you – this God Save The Kinks screenprint.
This is the first of three screenprints inspired by the band, this one using a Herb Lubalin typeface for the slogan, followed by up by the complete lyrics from the 'Village Green Preservation Society' track in a Trade Gothic font. All of it on a 'ketchup red' background.
You can see a close-up shot over the page. Only fifteen of these 500 x 700mm (19.7 x 27.5") prints have been made, all hand-printed on 220gsm cream Fabriano stock, as well as being numbered and signed by the artist. You can secure one for $45 (£28.18) on Etsy.

Linen Sailor Dress from Dig For Victory
Sustainable retro fashion label Dig For Victory offer a selection of beautiful limited edition frocks, handmade in the UK with vintage and reclaimed fabrics.
This Linen Sailor Dress is made using pinstriped Irish linen which was bought as "end of roll", meaning that there will only ever be 10 made. The red accents give the dress a subtle nautical twist and the linen will make it cool enough for even the most scorching of summer days. Eco-chic at it's absolute best.
The Linen Sailor Dress dress is made to measure for a perfect fit. £115 from the Dig For Victory Etsy store.
Twinkle Clock by Decoylab
We have featured clocks from Decoylab before but we just had to share this one with you.
Unlike the previous Decoylab clocks we've featured, the Twinkle Clock is a bit more grown up. Clearly inspired by the ubiquitous mid-century sunburst clock, the two-layered 'bursts' are made of bamboo, giving it a distinctive stripe pattern and a real vintage feel. A sustainable and stylish addition to any retro room.
The Twinkle Clock is $68 from the Decoylab Etsy store.
Mug book from Larken Designs
Larken designs have created an unusual update of a mug book, normally a collection of photographs of criminals. In this case, they are handmade notebooks, decorated with the image of a vintage mug shot. The images date to the mid 1950s judging by the placards featured on the images. Take your pick from the woman shown or an equivalent era man.
If you like the look of these, take a look at some of the mug shot posters also offered by this Cincinnati based design duo.
The book costs $10.
