There's a real move towards all things vintage at the moment.
Perhaps its a longing for when times were better (although I bet they weren't) or maybe it's simply a way of getting people to part with their money, either buying replica vintage items or the real thing.
Whatever the reason, it suits me. I live in an old house with lots of vintage bits and pieces which have been handed down.
This old postcards hark back to an Ireland which has disappeared.
