Bernice's new favourite blog - Old Catalogs. This blog is all about collecting vintage catalogues, featuring a great collection and supported by a Flickr collection of great scans.

I picked these gorgeous 1948 swimsuits from the Old Catalog collection to share, because at the moment here it's definitely swimming weather!

I'm fascinated by old signage painted on to brick walls of shops and other buildings. I love the fact that no-one has painted over it for all these years, and it's such a lovely glimpse into the past.
