We made a little playlist of music we are currently into. Listen to this while you browse the web or clean your dishes or anything! We very much hope you enjoy.

the day after the craziest party of our lives

The A Horse & His Boy CD release party was amazing! FOUR HUNDRED AND FIFTY people showed up throughout the night. They sold 53 CDs and 9 t-shirts! I am so proud of Aaron and his boys. We didn't get back home until 1:30am, but that didn't stop us from getting up early this morning and biking to the market. We got coffee at our favourite place and ate a spinach & cheese burek for breakfast/lunch. We then proceeded to go on our usual thrifting excursion. We found some really nice clothing for the chilly weather to come as well as some other goodies. I'll be posting pictures of last night's show later (as soon as other people upload them, I was far too busy dancing to take any pictures) and our latest thrift scores.

OH! We also sat in the library for a couple hours reading expensive art magazine & drinking orange soda. There are some very nice paintings coming out of young artists these days. My favourite new artist (new to me at least) is Allison Schulnik. She is inspired by a lot of my favourites, so sense this makes. 

love her like I do:

Tonight is Aaron's album release party! It's going to be so great. They are having the show/party at Museum London which is a pretty big venue, plus the show is free so I'm sure there will be a pretty big crowd. The albums look stunning.

August 1968

I have a large collection of vintage porn, because I love it. People are shocked when I tell them or they see it all on my bookshelf! It's just so fascinating, it's not even racy (at least not the Playboys...Penthouse on the other hand...). There are a lot of fashion spreads and the clothes the ladies wear is so inspiring. The ladies are also pretty curvy which is great, they are so beautiful nude. I guess since I have drawn so many nude people I am slightly desensitized to nudey mags. If you are faint at heart (or just don't appreciate exploitation of the female body) then look away! This is one of my magazines. August 1968, I'll post more issues along the way.

I want that bathing suit, and straw hat. I want to be that girl. Without the smoking part though. 

see yahhhhh.

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.
