I miss Summer...

I think one of the biggest reasons I am missing the warmer months, not that it has been a freezing winter though, but one of the biggest reasons is the flea markets/yard sales and garage sales!! No one here in Canada likes to host these wonderful events when the weather gets to be a wee bit chilly!!
So two days ago I went exploring the local 'Antique Malls'...just to get my fix of looking at vintage stuff, not necessarily to buy...They are HUGE...

Old Strathcona Antique Mall, Edmonton AB

I always go with a few ideas of what I specifically want to look for...there are a few figurines I am looking for, I always look for "lots" (bags) of vintage costume jewelry, and my Fiance was on the hunt for more vintage suitcases!! (ps. we are in Edmonton right now and I have no idea how we are getting all the suitcases we have accumulated in the car to return to Toronto...)

Anyway it was a wonderful "fix" and we came out empty handed but still...a fun time!

70 mile YARD SALE

So this past weekend was AMAZING!  I was able to attend the annual 70 mile yard sale on Prince Edward Island!! I am talking about 70 miles of yard sale after yard sale after yard sale...And so many great finds!
Many suitcases in many colors and all of them in total for under 20$ TOTAL! (These are only a few of them) Also two wonderful old typewriters.

I think my best find though was two vintage Coach leather bags....One satchel style (1$) and a messenger bag (2$)...they are beautiful and in amazing condition!! Couldn't believe it!

This yard sale may become a yearly road trip of a vacation!
