i wish i lived in this store
On Saturday, as I mentioned, we checked out the Absolutely Vintage Show and Sale in Toronto. The event was actually at a Maple Cottage which is right beside this street called Memory Lane. Cute!
I didn't take any photos inside this place but there were some really pretty dresses! Somehow I managed to not buy anything. I saw lots of great things but nothing that I HAD to have. Then we went down the street to that Gadabout store that I posted the video for. I took tons of photos in there. We spent so much time in that store, it was like being in someone's attic. Someone's really awesome attic full of treasures.
they had a bunch of awesome shoes too!
Possibly the coolest thing about this store was the drawers full of people's old photos, report cards, planners and diaries.
I want to live in this store. I seriously could have stayed there all day taking photos of all of the cool things inside.
Did you have a good weekend?

I think i couldn't stand not to buy anything from that store. Btw, yea, we had a good weekend too, a vespa trip me and hubby took was fun.
ReplyDeleteAnyhow, i've been reading your blog for quite a while now and i love it, Elycia. And love your hair too :D
thanks eva! you're so sweet. it was hard to not buy anything. i think if i had of bought one thing i probably would not have been able to stop. it was almost easier to get nothing, haha. if that makes sense.
ReplyDeletea vespa trip sounds soooo fun!
that looks like a fun place to browse around whenever one feels down! Love the blue shoes <3
ReplyDeleteOooh I love finding things like photos and diaries. And a report card? So cool! It's funny, I don't think I could explain why I would love looking at a complete stranger's report card, but I would none the less! I guess other people feel that way too if the shop owner decided to sell them. Thanks for sharing!
ReplyDeleteOoo, fantastic shop. Those blue shoes... *swoon*
ReplyDeleteoh, that memory lane sign is too cute!
ReplyDeletei would be stuck forever browsing through those drawers...

ReplyDeleteThose shoes, I love all those shoes and the glasses frames :) I wish there were more places like that around here. Though there is this one interesting antique shop downtown with all kinds of antiques and they have old used post cards and so much interesting historical stuff.
ReplyDeleteOh I think I could live in that store too! The vintage show sounds amazing. Wish we had something like that around here!
ReplyDeleteBy the way, I showed your blog to my 16 yr. old daughter & she is now addicted! She loves all your vintage outfits! And yesterday she looked up the tutorial & did the newsprint fingernails! Thanks for such a fun blog! Have a great day!
