Crate & Bicycle

I do believe that a Bushmills  crate beats a milk crate every time.

Of Boardwalks on the Islands & Judy

PZ on the Boardwalk on Ward's Island for a celtic slash pagan wedding dressed in stripes with polka dot bag and white brogues.



And today's Catch o' the Day: a Girl Size Judy. We've had lot of Judy's  & James' over the years but never a Girls'.

Christie Antique Show

Doing the Christie Antique Show next Saturday for the very first time. We've shopped the show since it started but have never set up before. It's one of the best field shows ever. So we're bringing field boots.

See you there.

Saturday Yard Sales

 

This sign was just so inviting, I had to stop.

And then there was this horse skull that just cried out my name. And you can never have too many English wool tartan blankies or throw rugs.

Save the Date Sept 25

Save the date:

 The Toronto Vintage Clothing & Textile Show, Sat Sept. 25, 2010.

Catch o' the Day

Thrift Store Catch o' the Day: a fine pair of Church Mocs. I don't think they were ever worn.

Thanks Rob.

Thanks to Rob Campbell for the shout out on his blog.

...and we're back

The Toronto Vintage Clothing and Textile Show is the first Saturday of March, the 6^th, about ten weeks from now.

Getting Ready for Fall Vintage Clothing Show

It's been a while but with winning the audit lottery there hasn't been a whole lot of time. It's still going on but looks like they're about ready to submit a proposal. That makes it sound like it's something I get to approve. No, no, my friend. What I get to do is to appeal it. We'll see what numbers they've come up with. At any rate the (first ever) Fall Toronto Vintage Clothing Show is coming quickly, September 19th, just over a month away and there's lots of prep to do. We've pick up a few choice vintage treats in the last few weeks but very little in the clothing department.


Another item is this JVC television: the Videotron. Very cool indeed.

Laundry Bench

I was volunteered to clean out our basement today and found something I'd totally forgotten about. We picked up this bench in Kentucky, probably near Corbin, and it was described as a laundry bench. The tub of wet stuff sat on one end, mangle would be clamped down in the center, with the clothes passed through into the dry tub at the other end. Well that was the story anyway.

It's now living, during the summers anyway, as a garden bench.
