I'm Catherine and this blog is a place for me to share my passion for the beautiful old things in this world that stop me in my tracks every day: vintage fashion, retro home decor, and the beautiful way the city around me deteriorates. Things that have survived decades of wear and weather to tell a story today. You'll also find arts and crafts projects, sprinkled with some personal tidbits, and my thoughts on living a creative life. My hope is to connect with like-minded people and grow as an artist.
