Wow! I can't believe it's been since May since I have made a new blog posting! Well, I guess the Fall season inspires me the most.! I love it when the leaves start to change, the nights get cooler, the crickets get louder and the mornings, for some reason, seem alot more quiet. Overall, the season of autumn is a truly glorious time~Enjoy! <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-L_F8sC7VSR1wI8lrLwCRx7y0tBobLbxqPeLx-Y8C_NT4jPZbyA9-mj8W_Wd_5i-4vS08Y8QOpMj-KpVIRF1EhJpAHCWwcI7Rmdrv_bBOblbYquP2vx5ZZvA1fdc0ita58Cmpk8Tc6Q/s1600/066.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" hea="true" height="400" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP-L_F8sC7VSR1wI8lrLwCRx7y0tBobLbxqPeLx-Y8C_NT4jPZbyA9-mj8W_Wd_5i-4vS08Y8QOpMj-KpVIRF1EhJpAHCWwcI7Rmdrv_bBOblbYquP2vx5ZZvA1fdc0ita58Cmpk8Tc6Q/s400/066.jpg" width="266" /></a><br />

<span style="font-family: Times; font-size: x-small;"> <span style="font-size: small;">Mid century women of the 50s and 60s cherished their femininity and donned only the most impecable of clothing even to go shopping or to the park. No pyjama pants in those days! Foundation garments of a bra, girdle, slip, garter belts, stockings created the curvaceous look of the day. This may sound like a lot to endure for the busy career woman of 2012. This however doesn't mean that women shouldn't feel good on the inside as well as projecting a positive outward self image.</span></span><br />

<span style="font-family: Times;">As women, we must revel in the fact that we are women. Vintage lingerie lends itself to creating that sensuous, sexy attitude goes hand in hand with confidence. New to the shop this week is vintage lingerie from the 60s, 70s, and 80s. Remember, you are sexy and you know it when you wear vintage~</span>The Witchery Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00663257952907046129noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883054993247470750.post-64016634908702564342012-01-29T16:14:00.002-05:002012-01-29T16:18:39.497-05:00My Secret Room~Shabby Chic Office Before and AfterDuring the ongoing transformations that have been occurring in my house during the last several months, I have never been more happy than with my new 'reflection' room / office. This room has always been difficult to first a) define what it should be b) decorate it. It is a north facing room that is often dark despite the big picture window and patio doors at either end. It was the original garage to the house at one point (obviously people had smaller cars in the 1940s!) and was renovated into a room. It has been used a t.v. room, office and most recently my vintage clothing storeroom. It was at this point that I had to gain control and make this room into what is was destined for~ a room that I could relax in, enjoy my garden, entertain friends with coffee, read and still maintain a small home office. <br />
<br />
I couldn't be more pleased with the results! I chose a wonderful purple grey colour inspired by an floral ottoman I found at a yard sale in the summer, paired with white wicker, Ikea furniture and vintage pictures, it is perfect! See for yourself!<br />

One of my personal goals before the end of 2011 is to have my house looking tip top! When I finally was true to myself and listened to my inner voice and no one else, I decided to renovate the house the way I wanted it! After all I own it and pay the mortgage. With a love for Shabby Chic and Paris Apartment style and a keen eye for decor at minimal expense, I set along the decorating path. Feeling a little like Martha and a little like Sarah Richardson, my team of paint experts at Benjamin Moore and my knight in shining armour Micheal (my painter, contractor and ever so handy man) have been transforming my house one room at a time. <br />
Today I want to reveal the dining room. It is a south facing room so it gets lots of sun and has lots of windows. We really don't spend alot of time in there since eating in front of the TV or on the go is more our forte. I wanted a dining room that would be inviting, look great in summer or winter and be of course Shabby Chic therefore hopefully we would spend more time in it and be able to have a FAB Christmas dinner.<br />
Even though I committed the cardinal sin of painting over original wood trim, I love how it looks and I'm very happy!!<br />

I still have to put up some drapes yet, but I'll save that for another blog!The Witchery Vintagehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00663257952907046129noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6883054993247470750.post-52466104363381792072011-10-30T11:10:00.002-04:002011-10-30T11:18:43.819-04:00The Mysteries of Port RyerseI am fortunate enough to live in a place that is steeped with history and folklore. This is my favourite time of year as the nights get colder, the leaves turn brilliant reds and golds and Norfolk County takes on a little mystery of its own. Having a vintage clothing store allows me not only to show you the wonderful clothes we have to offer but to also share with you the places where we love to showcase them. Last weekend and today we are in a little lakeside town called Port Ryerse. <br />
Founded in 1795 by Samuel Ryerse, a U.E.L. During the mid 1800s, it prospered under the lumber exporting industry.When the railway bypassed Port Ryerse in the late 1800s, the town's prosperity faded but it still remained a popular summer getaway as well as a great fishing spot along Young's Creek.<br />
Today only restored century homes, cottages and the wonderful Anglican church remain. The churchyard cemetery is an historic United Empire Loyalists gravesite dating back to the early 1800s. I find it fitting to shoot some of our vintage clothing here because it is so beautiful and takes me back to another time. If you get a chance to visit the church, do so. Last week, some tourists thought I was a tour guide because they 'thought I was in costume" " No, I explained, I just sell vintage! :)"<br />

I can't believe it has been over a month since my last posting. School starting, the girls' basketball and life has just caught up with me. Today, though, was the perfect fall day to get cozy by a fire, watch the leaves swirl around the yard and contemplate the summer past. This is my favourite time of year. It has a bewitching character about it that draws you in whether it is deeper into the woods or deeper into your heart. I always find this season a time of great change. My new collection for fall reflects the mystery and the magical aura of the autumnal equinox.<br />

As a child I remember being terrified as she ran through the dark woods with the long gnarled branches grasping at her as she ran through the forest. Unknown to her, what she feared was just the animals of the forest. I have a little collection of vintage ceramic animals, mostly from the 50s and 60s, made in Japan, that remind me of the friendly animals in Snow White. My favourite one is Bunny Love! I guess I'm just a little girl at heart.<br />

Getting up at 6:30 a.m. is a call of duty for me during the late spring, summer and fall months. Yard sales in our county can be small, household ones or get as big as the giant townwide sale in Caledonia, ON where hundreds participate! That being said, how can I help myself but think of all the treasures that await me. Today I went with my very cool neighbour, Carlotta. She is from Mexico and I swear I will be bilingual in Spanish very soon. She loves to yard sale as much as I do and we both know how to rock a sale. <br />
Today was Friday and normally there are not many sales to be found but to our advantage there were a lot mostly because of the Port Dover Summer Festival and perhaps it was just a great sunny, warm day. From Simcoe to Norwich to Port Dover, we ventured getting some really cool things. I think we have a TV show in the making! Here's some of what we found!<br />

When I am searching for new vintage treasures, my eye is always drawn to navy and white. Maybe it's that nautical theme, maybe it's because you can wear killer red lipstick and look like a bold screen siren or maybe it is elegant and classic. Whatever your age or whatever your style, navy and white is always a great choice~ Here are some new things coming to my store this week as an ode to this great colour combination</span>.</span></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQ0UWS09bQfJDEVEJWr-MRXebqTGDbyR-eobWCkjTkayXmzXl-kNx_csLxk-e7-i6LDgjiPALLnKJjLpoQi_LY2sRtyZMWrr4GJo8xALGSy_qOss9TF2k20uKppwAO8vb1lqKPfGsInA/s1600/navyis+thenew+black+025.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; cssfloat: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSQ0UWS09bQfJDEVEJWr-MRXebqTGDbyR-eobWCkjTkayXmzXl-kNx_csLxk-e7-i6LDgjiPALLnKJjLpoQi_LY2sRtyZMWrr4GJo8xALGSy_qOss9TF2k20uKppwAO8vb1lqKPfGsInA/s400/navyis+thenew+black+025.JPG" width="266" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WAspmkFiEA2FBipryleMAWIlc2wYAofUiqyW6isPFDqyMkGq6-_-lCRzchOGaiZcbIurbjF7QqmVZzSeWBi4C2IFiReQ5_utYZXIOH1APe3xunFxaZA0QCr0EmbrEAx8WabDTNP6Atk/s1600/navyis+thenew+black+018.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" m$="true" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi6WAspmkFiEA2FBipryleMAWIlc2wYAofUiqyW6isPFDqyMkGq6-_-lCRzchOGaiZcbIurbjF7QqmVZzSeWBi4C2IFiReQ5_utYZXIOH1APe3xunFxaZA0QCr0EmbrEAx8WabDTNP6Atk/s400/navyis+thenew+black+018.jpg" width="266" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

Canada became a kingdom in its own right on that date,<sup><span style="color: #0645ad; font-size: x-small;"> </span></sup>but the British Parliament</span></em><a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Parliament_of_the_United_Kingdom" title="Parliament of the United Kingdom"><span style="color: #0645ad; font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>t</em></span></a><em><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> kept limited rights of political control over the new country that were shed by stages over the years until the last vestiges were surrendered in 1982 when the Constitution </span><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">patriated the Canadian constitution.</span></em><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">At home and all across Canada, July 1st is a holiday where everyone has fun, gets together with family and friends and enjoys everything that this wonderful country has to offer. Parades, festivals, fireworks, food and fun comprise many Canada Day celebrations. Today I had the pleasure of introducing my new neighbour Carlotta to this special day. Living in Canada for only 2 years, she was unfamiliar with the history and background of the day but had a wonderful time as we shared the special festivities in Port Dover, Ontario, a wonderful lakeside community about 10 minutes from my home.</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Of course, Canada Day wouldn't be the same without some red and white vintage to mark the day. I wore a 1970s red with white polka dot silky wiggle dress with a cute matching bolero jacket and a blue and red straw hat. Vintage 1980s Wayfarers topped it all off!</span><br />
<br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Happy Canada Day!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Arial;">Love, Sandra</span><br />

Like many of you, I never sit down to enjoy the fruits of my labour. Rushing by watching the cats enjoy my new lounge chair rather than me made me even more tired and longing for a rest. This evening I decided to lay down on my lounge, have a glass of wine and listen to 107.3 The Wave out of Cleveland and enjoy my yard. Of course, Mr. Bengal Bigglesworth was not ready to give up his spot so we shared the evening together!<br />

Sometimes it takes a little bit of courage to wear red. You are often noticed in the drugstore checkout line in a sea of black and brown. Red inspires! Red says I'm here! Red says pay attention. Perhaps this is why my lovely students seem to appear more attentive when I wear red even though it is hard for my seniors who are graduating in a few weeks. Nevertheless, wearing red makes me feel Great! Today I wore a very clingy (thanks Weight Watchers for the 16 pound loss) late 80s red dress with a black belt, vintage Mary Jane shoes from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ThePuppetCoven">ThePuppetCoven</a> and this amazingly wonderful handknitted 20s inspired cloche from <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ChiCreations">ChiCreations</a> I received so many compliments on my hat today I just had to share this wonderful seller with you. Thank you Christine for topping off a wonderful day for this lady in red!<br />

Nestled along the coast of Lake Erie, it is a very well known tourist destination as well as popular commercial and recreational fishing spot. What Port Dover is also famous for is its Friday the 13th days where over 200 000 bikers descend on the town for the day. <br />
It is also a great spot for shooting some of our newest vintage clothing for summer. These photos were shot at the East Pier where the commerical fishing boats are docked and where the latest Romero directed zombie movie was filmed! The other location is the Port Dover Harbour Museum! Enjoy!!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div>It's hard to believe almost a week has passed since the big "Wedding". Kate Middleton is the current 'it' girl and who can blame us for being so enamoured with her! Tall at 5'10, long gorgeous brown hair, slim figure and of course, married to a Prince that really<em> loves</em> her! For all those assets, I think she dresses kind of boring tat time with all those blue dresses with black jacket looks. The wedding dress was an exception of course. The wedding dress inspired vintage dreams of Grace Kelly with all her class and elegance. So how about it Kate, why not try on some vintage looks? Here are some of my picks for Kate and a sneak peek at this week's offerings from the Witchery Vintage! <br />

<br />
<span style="color: #38761d;"><span style="color: black; font-family: Georgia;">Just beyond my house on Chapel Hill, there lies a mini forest bounded by a stone wall. Crossing the street and taking the path into the forest takes one into a different world away from the sounds and rush of daily life. This is where some of our best vintage pictures have been taken. Recently some old trees came crashing down during a big wind storm. This majestic tree has become a wonderful plaything for the cats as well a the perfect setting for our new floral vintage offerings this week~</span></span><br />

T.V., radio, the internet are all focussing of the 'wedding of the century!" Although personally I believe that title goes to Diana, this wedding is a step in the right direction for the monarchy and for young people's views on marriage (with fingers crossed)~<br />
I love selling wedding dresses and last spring, The Witchery Vintage sold several wedding gowns to special customers overseas. One wonderful customer, Carolanne Armstrong, graciously has shared her wedding pictures with me. What makes this extra special it that she resides in England and the photos were taken in front of Windsor Castle! She makes a most beautiful vintage bride!!!!!Thank you so much Carolanne for sharing your photos with me. I am so happy that we could be involved in making your special day an unforgettable one!!!xoxoxxo<br />

With summer fast approaching, rockabilly swing dresses are at the heart of the Walker Collection. Who is Walker, you might ask? Well, Mr. Walker is my neighbour, very paternal and protective, he looks like an actor from one of those medieval, Viking type movies. With his white hair tied back in a ponytail and white goatee beard, he commands quite a figure but he has a heart of gold. One day, I came home to several large garbage bags on my porch. As I opened them, I was thrilled to find them overflowing with vintage items from the 1950s! The first thing I thought was is this a dream? As I started to go through the bags I try to think of who would be so generous and thoughtful as to leave these wonderful items on my doorstep.<br />
Later that evening I saw Mr. Walker out on his porch. He asked if the 'dresses were okay?" I proceeded to gush and thank him profusely saying they were perfect then cautiously asked in a tone similar to Oliver Twist, "Is there anymore?" "Yes", he replied. "We were going to throw out the ones that were dirty or ripped but if you want them, I'll bring them by tomorrow". Recovering from shock at what could have been thrown out, I eagerly anticipated my next gift from my Vintage Godfather! Sure enough, another bag plus shoes and purses were at my door! <br />

Snow! Please Mother Nature no more snow, bring us spring! If today is any evidence that spring has finally arrived, well rest assured, we'll be basking in its warm glory very soon! The Witchery Vintage has gotten into the 'spring' of things to with some new fabulous vintage for spring from current retro 70s jumpsuits (a huge runaway trend for spring), 1960s floral shifts and the fun of the 1980s, we have something for everyone! Enjoy! <br />

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. <br />
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! <br />
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<br />

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 <a href="http://www.facebook.com/?ref=home#!/profile.php?id=579345507">Ashley from Fringe Salon</a> 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 <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/astralboutique">Astral Boutique</a>. 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!<br />

Glee chronicles the adventures of a high school glee club and their challenges, triumphs etc. interspersed with life lessons and most wonderfully, vintage songs from the 60s, 70s, 80s as well as current hits. I could never understand why Neil Diamond's "Sweet Caroline" or Journey's "Don't Stop Believin'" became so popular among my high school students until I started watching Glee. It is the only show that really makes me feel good after watching it. It is like watching those old musicals from the 50s. The great thing is that each character on Glee has a definitive fashion look that I have tried to mash up with our own Witchery Vintage clothing. The meaning of the term, “mash-up,” is described as what happens “when you take two songs and mash them together to make an even richer explosion of musical expression.” In other words, two songs that might not initially seem to belong together are blended, the process of which reveals unexpected connections between the songs and might even yield an even stronger work than either one is on its own. <br />
Well, the Witchery Vintage has done just that! Even though some of the clothes may not be an <em>exact</em> match, the unexpected connections that it makes to the Glee character and to one's own unique tastes creates an even stronger look all its own! Enjoy!<br />

This shop has wonderful vintage clothing but I really love the hats she sells. The model who models that hats is absolutely stunning and has a gaze that reminds me of an Emily Bronte novel. It is said that the eyes are the window to our soul. We often gaze out a window waiting or wanting something to happen. When you look out your window, what do you see? What do you want to happen?

With an ode to winter and all that is good, Megan, Lindsay and I went out for lunch to celebrate Valentines Day and Lindsay's 15th birthday. On the way to our fav cafe, The Llama Bean, we stopped down an alley way that connects parts of old Simcoe. My big smile is in part that I have lost about 8 pounds so far! Yeah! Secondly, the last (hopefully) big snowfall of the year allowed us to create some magical shots with black and red plaid and fur! Enjoy!<br />

Usually such goals as losing weight, saving money or changing jobs are high on a person's resoluation list. I think that by changing your look and in the end, improving your image, you can achieve these goals just by feeling better about yourself. Albeit, this isn't easy and often take deep reflection usually undertaken during long drives home or in a wine induced haze. Nevertheless, think about whether your clothes really reflect who you are? When you look in your closet do you find that alot of your clothes are unworn or purchased out of necessity such as for work. What about the mirror? When you look into it, do you like who looks back? It takes a risk to change your look. Many women just won't cut their hair or change their makeup and use excuses such as "my boyfriend likes long hair". You have to be happy for you before you need to make anyone else happy. <br />
Flirting with vintage clothes and vintage looks in fun because you can go back in time and experiment with a look of the past but in the end its about being unique and taking a risk. Say yourself "I don't care what people think" and see what happens....<br />
I recently have opted to take some risks by going to a new hairstylist, changing my hairstyle and colour and following Weight Watchers on line to learn to eat healthier~all in one week! I'm pleased with the results. I hope you will be too!<br />
