Ok so we've looked at your vintage horror stories, now let's indulge ourselves a bit - what are your vintage items of desire? 

For me, in terms of clothing, it's vintage wool suits from the 40's/50's with their nipped in waists and classic tailoring, and for the home, I'm a sucker for a bit of mid century Danish, or a nice bit of Ercol (what can I say, I like me some wood).

So what floats *your* boat? A nice swing dress? Some 70's platform boots? A comfy old leather wingback chair? A set of mismatched china cups and saucers?
