Kirtie's 'doings' are just a fad, to people wanting to be 'on trend' and will all fade into insignificance and landfill in no time at all. If only we could persuade C4 how to do a programme showing how it's really done ... and on a shoestring with no high street making an appearance at all! xxx<br />thriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621095769476921131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-36133118583484148872012-11-19T09:12:16.508+00:002012-11-19T09:12:16.508+00:00I agree with a lot of what you say Claire. Out of ...I agree with a lot of what you say Claire. Out of curiousity I had a look on the iplayer and then fell asleep when the furniture was on the pavement (my interest was seriously sliding before then though). I fail to understand the need to bring this style to people who don't live this way. It really is a taste and a passion that on the whole you've always had. I loved old clothes, furniture, bits and bobs and making from a very young age before we called it vintage. It was just stuff that I liked that was old and secondhand. Soon it will pass on as a fashion and those of us that love it and have always loved it will carry on in our own way while Kirstie will be embracing the new style in order to keep her career on track. Programmes like Wartime Farm hit the spot far more for me than this nonsense. <br /><br />XBobo Bunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14564557200579080645noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-24831112544936863632012-11-18T21:34:59.532+00:002012-11-18T21:34:59.532+00:00Hello Gracie, just be thankful you can't watc...Hello Gracie, just be thankful you can't watch this terrible programme!<br /><br />Thanks for your lovely comments ...

Oh I so agree with you about the Kirsty programme ...I was so disappointed...I did enjoy the last series and am hoping tonight's programme is better!! I am not a fan of the 60's but I found their take on it very unimaginative and expensive anyway.....fingers crossed for tonight. Lovely to see you on Sunday your stall looked great !

If you can, and your son isn't allergic to it, add a drop of washing up liquid or a nice smelling essential oil. White vinegar doesn't smell as strongly as malt and should fade quite quickly. Hope this helps!<br /><br />Claire xxthriftwoodhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04621095769476921131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-78453500061806092522012-11-14T10:05:17.062+00:002012-11-14T10:05:17.062+00:00I was really interested to hear what you thought o...I was really interested to hear what you thought of Kirtie's "Vintage" programme. I'm not a vintage girl but I really didn't think it reflected what I would imagine to be a vintage home. Your right to me it was a bit like "House Doctor" meets "The Hoarder Next Door". Saying that I enjoyed it and will still be watching. Next I need to pick your brain. My son's allergic to cleaning products so I used your water/vinegar mix. How much water to vinegar, my house has been smelly like a chippy.

I too watched the programme - it being one of those programmes that I can huff and puff my way through. Do you know they type - the ones where you start making comments and mutter a bit under your breath. Not too much vintage but lots of 'vintage style'. The only bit that I liked was the screen print on the wooden furniture. <br /><br />I agree that in reality that house just needed a good tidy up (I can identify with that bit!!) and a bit of shoving. Will I watch the next one? Of course! I like huffing and puffing!<br />More importantly I love your house!<br />Best wishes<br />Jenny<br />PS Come on ladies - together we could make a BLOCKBUSTERThe Custardshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17632655608950737315noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3866534943061532614.post-5243252762393979232012-11-14T07:29:56.416+00:002012-11-14T07:29:56.416+00:00Hello Gillian, just take it all with a large pinch...Hello Gillian, just take it all with a large pinch of salt!
