1960’s White and Navy Polka Dot Shirtwaist Dress
The 60’s are alive and well in this shop update. Luck befell me whilst thrifting last week – there are a few dresses, that if they actually fit me, would not be up for sale, that is for sure. Come by the shop today and take a peek-a-roo.

Oh goodness guys! Thanks to all my (and Matt’s) lovely pals who came out to the Parkdale Flea on Sunday to give me a couple hellos, and even those cool pals that bought some of my stock! I somehow survived the evening before of way too much tagging and steaming, thanks to my seriously amazing and helpful boyfriend.
The day was filled with sunshine (but god awful wind), neat vendors selling handcrafted wood works, mini doughnuts (geeze louise I could have eaten 3 bags of those bad boys) smoothies/lemonades, beautiful antiques and vintage galore. I didn’t get to do too much browsing myself, because I was manning my booth alone most of the time, but that was quite alright. A gal, like myself, who loves to buy things I probably don’t need, should usually flee (ha!) temptation.
Vince and Josh (the organizers behind this here flea) plan to make this a monthly event. So keep an eye out, you wonderful people!
If only that gosh darn skirt fit me! But at least a pal ended up buying it, so I know it’s in good hands.

I very last minute (!!!) got asked to be a vendor at the Parkdale Flea this year! If you are around tomorrow (especially if you live in Parkdale) you should come by and say hello! I would love to see all your beautiful faces! They’ll be vendors selling vintage, antiques, collectables, local artisans, designers, and some nummy foods – a recipe for a lovely day. Furry friends and all are welcome!

Ah! Well this looks a bit different now doesn’t it?! I had a few thinks, and finally decided I would start to model all shop items from now on. Time and time again I’d receive a plethora of messages from people on Etsy asking if they could see items on a model, and I just decided, enough is enough, I shalst just model the clothes right from the get-go. It will be a nice change! It goes without saying I enjoy putting outfits together, so this was a real treat for me on a really stressful day.
I am off to Bruce Peninsula today to rough it in the woods (sort of), and swim in a grotto. I do not plan to look at my phone or be on the internet much, so I’ll be MIA from this here, cyber world. Anything sold in the shop from today until Sunday July 28th, will be shipped on Monday.
BTW! Please pardon Gus. He truly cannot live a single moment without being as close to me as humanly (animaly??) possible. Lucky for me he’s pretty darn cute, and more than likely steals the show. Dog definitely not for sale!

This week I got pretty lucky while thrifting! I found a good amount of pretty awesome vintage, in the same era, style and size. It was as if somebody came by and dropped off all their old clothing, and I came just in the nick of time to snatch it all up. I think it’s pretty obvious by now that I love loud prints and the 60’s/70’s in general, so I’ve got a few gems included in the shop this week. And if I was truly greedy, I would keep them all for myself! Hopefully something catches your eye!
