I love people! I'm interested in what they do, what they were, what they eat etc. I'm especially interested in how they live and what type of home decor they have. In the world of vintage, usually a penchant for uniqueness in clothes is followed by avant garde home decor. Let's just say those who love vintage don't have homes that look like model subdivision homes. They are unique and interesting. Decorating with found objects from a yard sale or thrift shop is as thrilling as scoring a great vintage dress.
Awhile back someone asked me about my home so I've decided to share it with you. My home is located in a small rural town filled with century homes, bordered by farms. The people are friendly and the birds always sing. There are lots of cats to keep mine company and lovely neighbours like Mr. Walker leave wonderful presents at my door ~a huge bag of 1950s vintage dresses!
My house is located on a corner at the top of a hill bordered by a forest parkette. Built in the 1930s, it has lots of twists and turns and stairways that lead to interesting rooms. As many homes, it is a work in progress and I'm always painting or fixing something. My labour of love style is a mixture shabby chic, thrift shop, Ikea as is and auction finds. I hope you all come and visit one day! xoxoxo

You're Never Too Old to Play Dress Up!
Remember when you were small and played dress up with your mom's or grandmother's clothes? I do! I remember wearing my mom's old 1950s hats and purses with my friends. How grand I felt! Many years later, I feel no different especially when I wear vintage! Today I feel like a Parisian Flapper aka Louise Brooks. Thanks to Ashley from Fringe Salon in Simcoe, she has once again outdid herself and has 'flapperized' me by creating the perfect 1920s bob! However, the pièce de résistance is this wonderful vintage dress from Astral Boutique. Sasha is always inspiring and her pictures of this dress made me fall in love. I could picture myself strolling along a Parisian street, having coffee at an outdoor cafe while violin music played in the distance. Vintage clothing lets you go back in time and never gets old!
