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!

oh Gravity Pope...

I went out on Boxing Day to check out the sales in the hopes of finding a new, perfect pair of boots to replace a pair I have had for just over a year (they are in rough shape and are a staple accessory).
Alas, my shopping did not result in success...Of course, in the end, I ended up at a thrift shop buying some wonderful vintage finds which I will hopefully list at Charming Gypsy later this week...
Whilst shopping I did discover several pairs of boots which I fell in love with...however, my budget was not so much in love...Here are some of my faves that found on my excursion!!

GRAVITY POPE is one of my all-time favorite shoe shops in Canada!!  I would love to walk in those doors one day and say, "I'll take one of everything!!"....


(at least I have my vintage Frye's which I love)

I paid $25.00 for these boots...6 years ago...and they are still kickin'! That's L♥VE!


...in the meantime I will have to make some major decisions between all these boots below and many more!
Between Gravity Poperag & bone, and ANYTHING from The Frye Company...I'm completely at a road block in decision making... sigh...
