VINTAGE HOME & FASHION FROM THE 1960S & 70S

"My family home when I was growing up was a cacophony of colours and sounds which have inspired me greatly in developing Moonbow. My mums collections for weird and wonderful objects found in charity shops adorned every nook and cranny - bells; carved wooden heads; cobalt blue glass and victorian tiles sat alongside mind expanding imagery and antique pieces passed-down. The scene was made more vivid with a soundtrack of Captain Beefheart, Frank Zappa and Jimi Hendrix. Coming to my house was an experience." - Jodie Goodall, Founder

When i'm out sourcing pieces for Moonbow i'm inspired greatly by the colours and patterns found in 60s and 70s fashion. Quite often it will be a colour that will jump out at me first - a flash of tangerine orange for example, peeking out from behind something else that will draw me in to have a closer look. 

I also love looking through old interior magazines and catalogues for ideas. They give you a real sense of how design schemes reflected the aspirational lifestyles of the period. 

Although I admire those who can take on space-age minimalism wholeheartedly, Im much too hectic for it. I prefer to pick out bits here and there to weave into my own eclectic web.

I started selling my psychedelic wares in 2017 at vintage fairs across Yorkshire. I was very lucky to join a well-established network of extremely knowledgable and friendly vintage traders who gave me advice and support and to them I will be forever grateful. 

Since then, I have set down more permanent roots with units at Space in Harrogate selling a range of vintage furniture and vintage homewares.
