inspiration workshop! - vintage

This week's prompt for the Inspiration Workshop! by Gussy Sews is - vintage.


{via google images}


Seeing that everything 80s has been making a comeback in recent years, I'd go ahead and label this era, "vintage".
And since I was born in the 80s and played with many toys and watched many cartoons that were popular during this time, I'm going to use this wonderfully kooky decade as my inspiration today.
Everything pictured below is something that I owned, or played with, or watched, or read, or wore, etc.
Enjoy your trip through the 80s!!

  9. Oh wow those brought some memories rushing back! Whats great is The Hub channel plays Jem {which I now watch with my 5yr old and think wow this was way inappropriate, ha} and they have new Little Pony and Strawberry Shortcake, Fragile Rock, and the list goes on and on, best channel EVER! Coming from Gussy.
