| HipstaCase 100 for the iPhone Posted: 02 May 2011 11:00 AM PDT 
Regular readers might recall that we produced a best vintage camera apps article a short time back. If you really want to take that idea to the extreme, you might want to pick up the HipstaCase 100 for the iPhone.
As you might have guessed, this an iPhone 4 case, designed to look like a plastic camera from the 1980s. The one-piece, snap-on case offers 'premium' protection for the iPhone (or iPod touch), a tripod adapter and a wrist lanyard for quick and secure access.
$39.95 is the price at the Hipstamart website.

| Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters Posted: 02 May 2011 10:41 AM PDT 
We've still not seen the Lady Gaga Polaroid cameras in the shops, so if you want to go Polaroid right now, you'll have to buy something like this Polaroid Camera Set at Urban Outfitters.
Sadly, Urban Outfitters doesn't give the full model details of the camera in question. We've done some hunting round and not found an exact copy - if you are an expert, feel free to drop a comment below.
But it does offer all the classic Polaroid functionality, with instant snaps developed in front of your eyes in minutes, with some modern-day PX film from Impossible Project thrown in to get you started. A handy flash too, for poor light snaps. £120 is the price of the set, but be warned - refill film packs (also available at Urban Outfitters), do cost £25 each.

| eBay watch: Vintage Airstream caravan Posted: 02 May 2011 10:16 AM PDT 
We have featured recent models of these, but at a price in excess of £35,000, a new one is out of the reach of most of us. Alternatively, you can rent one for a holiday or you can bid for this vintage Airstream caravan on eBay.
Details are limited on this particular listing, but there are plenty of pictures to tell the story. The few details available say this is a 1976, 31ft, Airstream caravan that has 'just been imported' and is available for delivery. The downside is the state of the inside - let's just say a full refurbishment is required.
But with the price of those new ones being so high, this old model could prove something of a profitable project if you wish to take it on. £3,000 is the price. See the listing for lots of inside shots.

| For sale: Mary Medd-designed, modernist-inspired Sewell's Orchard house in Tewin, Hertfordshire Posted: 02 May 2011 09:55 AM PDT 
It's 'use your imagination' time here, because this Mary Medd-designed Sewell's Orchard house in Tewin, Hertfordshire has a touch of the 'granny' about it inside, despite its modernist roots.
Mary Medd worked with prominent modern movement architect Erno Goldfinger. From 1934 - 1936, with this house dating to the earlier of those years. She originally designed the house, one of a set of three, for her parents, with inspiration taken from the architect's visit to the Stockholm Exhibition of 1930. It's also grade II-listed due to its architectural importance and is available to buy for the first time in 31 years.  The house hasn't really got the interior you would hope, but that's probably down to the furnishing and decoration. The original design has, by and large been respected, so it should be fairly easy to put the 'period' back in.
It's a four / five-bedroomed, west-facing house, designed with all living space to the back, to make full advantage of the views and aspect. Aside from those bedrooms, there's also a living room, a large family room (approximately 437 sq ft), dining room, kitchen/breakfast room, and a double garage. Big gardens too, up to 130 ft of mainly lawn, plus a sought-after location.
You do have to pay all for all of that though, £975,000 to be precise.

A functional item with a cool retro twist - this Retro Kitchen PVC tablecloth at John Lewis.
It's a bold and bright 1950s-style illustrated design - pots, pans, storage jars, you know the kind of thing, all on a 'chilli' red background. The idea is it acts as a 'wipe clean' tablecloth, with a length of 2 metres meaning you can cut it to fit pretty much any table.
