It was also our prompt for this week's Texture Tuesday.
But what does it mean?
I went to the source - the English dictionary - and found this as one of many definitions:
representing the high quality of a past time
They also included this definition for world English:
representative of the best and most typical
Still, what does it mean to me? How do I think of vintage.
Old. Charming. Traditional. Lasting. Of a bygone era. Not representative of modern technology.
I didn't necessarily want to make it romantic or use only the intimate households items like china, tea cups, etc. So I went outside and got really experimental with my texture play. Things turned gritty.

Going back inside, there's sturdy, old and lasting furniture.

- Kim Klassen's Trust on overlay @ 35%
- Kim Klassen's Pour Vous on linear light @26%
I love this new KK texture, Pour Vous. The picture didn't do it justice. I can't wait to keep trying it out.
