I need a road tip...

with an old camera, you can come too! 

How great are old pictures of our parents!? 

I'm going to post more once I scan them, but for now.....

My mom's class picture, she is the one in the middle with the glasses.

So very cute. 

the working world and a wondering mind

As I work at my day job my mind drifts to thoughts of the weekend...

My friend  since grade two is moving to Manitoba soon, we decided to have a girls day since it may be the last for awhile. It's a little strange to see the people close to you move away, there was a time I assumed everyone would be around forever. This is life, everyone goes on their own adventures... I just wish the best for them and hope they think of me sometimes!

So off we went for a lunch date and 5cent carousel ride, fun!

Fuzzy lovelies 

I would like a carousel in my backyard. 

My ride.

Happy twin.

I think she is singing? 

I'm getting dizzy. 

Dear Kieran,

Yesterday was your first birthday, I can't believe a year has flown by since we first met you. You have changed all of our lives in the most wonderful way. One day soon you will come spend a weekend here, we will go on fun adventures around the city, teach you about our favorite bands and maybe give you some treats (shhh..don't tell mom)
You're an amazing boy and I love you!!

I've had a sad day.

As a girl who has so many great things in her life I often feel silly when I get sad. I think to myself "what on earth do you really have to complain about?", however, as a human these feelings are natural and sometimes you just need a good cry. It's not that anything drastic has happened I live in a lovely apartment with a lovely guy and have many people who love me.. but I have a big heart and when I see the deterioration of relationships around me I can't help but feel the effects of it a little too much. That with missing things I have no control over makes me a sad gal. The worse part of having a bad day that it inadvertently effects the people around us, the people who love us with all their hearts. Although, I am a strong person I have a hard time concealing those emotions. I just hope those people know I truly love them, it's my own emotions getting the better of me and it has nothing to do with them. 

Tomorrow will be better I swear. xo.

I enjoy flea market hunts that turn into free fortune readings by the lady running the both, drive-in double dates with my favorite people, and working with my twin on our up coming vintage etsy store!

coming soon!

Apartment Favorites

Recently I moved my day job into my house, luckily for me I only have to deal with Toronto / highway driving once a month. It gives me more time to hang out in my cute little apartment. 

A few things in my apartment I adore....

My first keyboard and my grandmother's chair

My new piano

 Ukulele and old cameras.

Typewriters 

My boyfriend's late night 4 track reel find

Vintage radio

Old Organ 

More to come!
