new in store: COLOURFUL DRESSES

We've got some super bright dresses in the store. From the 70s to 90s. A colourful piece of clothing is the perfect way to make you have a great day. I always love to see girls in cute bright dresses coming my way. My favourite dress is the striped one! It's too big for me though, so I haven't ever been able to wear it. The fabric is so soft and nice though, wah.

first day of school

thrifted dress & shoes

Today was the first day of school! It is my last year and I am so very excited. I am specializing in painting and textiles. All of my good friends are in painting with me so we set up a corner that we can all sit at together and paint at and gossip and have a ball. Seeing all of the new students is so odd! I used to be one of them so I do not intend to be rude in any way. When I first started the specials were incredibly mean to us and I promised myself I would never be like them.

These pictures were taken at the side of my house! It is completely encased in vines, we can barely see out our windows. Squirrels and robins live in the vines so sometimes we can watch them when we look out the window.

I've been pining for a different hair style for awhile so I finally decided to take action last night. I shaved both side of my head a little bit. Just around the ears. It's pretty subtle so I am going to do a bit more tweaking tonight. You can't see it when my hair is down so I can hide it from people! I think it's pretty great.

second chances: FLORALS

Auctions ended yesterday and I am shocked that these gems didn't go! We've put them back in our store to give everybody a second chance. They're goin' for cheap and they are in the store inventory!

Moscow Circus on Ice, 1970

In 1970 the Moscow Circus on Ice did it's first Canadian tour. Aaron and I were lucky enough to find a brochure from that tour at a thrift store! It's in perfect condition too. It seems to have been quite the show. The most depressing part is the bears, when I first looked through the magazine I started to cry a little when the bear section came up. They made bears wear SKATES and play HOCKEY. I really hope this doesn't happen in the world any longer. I also can't believe that pepsi had an ad with one of the tortured animals.

Even with the bears there are still tons of neat things to read about and see in the magazine. 

But there are still the bears, 

new in store: LEATHER & LACE

The combination of white lace and chocolate brown leather is so elegant and feminine. This fall I am going to look for as much lace as possible and wear it all the time. I tend to find lighter shades of leather oxfords so finding these ones was so great. Unfortunately these are a tiny bit tight on me, so I am giving them up. They need to go to a better home (a home where they will be worn and not just shoved in a closet).

I will live in mens trousers from the 60s come fall

of the spirits

all thrifted

Today we went to the farmers market and bought some sweet corn, eggs, peaches and the most delicious sausages ever. Then we had a giant breakfast and biked around the city. It's been a lazy Saturday, which is always nice. Right now we are eating sausages, drinking cream soda, and watching Frederico Fellini's 'Juliet of the Spirits'. It is the MOST 60s movie ever. Everybody is wearing the most ridiulous and impractical hats.
