Vintage Clothing

Krista

who I met on Saturday with my dear friend Stefi used this old saying "grasshopper minds" which really described our day which was amusingly scattered. We were meeting to take pics of the city with Krista for a few pointers as she is a very talented photographer. Well I have to say we never got around to taking pics because we were having too much fun being silly. Instead we met at a great cafe called Grapefruit Moon north west on Bathurst near Bloor. With our coffees in our hands we were laughing and chatting like teenagers and decided to head to Krista's for more laughs looking at and trying on incredible vintage clothing. It was fitting because Krista had recently done a project called the Puss in Boots calander with beautiful tasteful picures of women in lingerie and some of the vintage clothing we were trying happened to be lingerie. It was hilarious and I found a beautiful piece that I kept and I could not resist the two pairs of beautiful gloves. We then walked to the highend vintage store called

Paper Bag Princess

to sell some of the clothes. It was quite the site as we were carrying clothing bags and hat boxes down the street looking like little princess'. We were buzzed in to the store and escorted to a back room to meet with the owner. She was a middle aged lady from New York with a sophisticated Barbie look to her. As she was picking the clothes and hats she tried on and modelled some of the hats for us and the huge mirror. Stefi was given $1200 for just a few items and the owner said she could turn around and sell them for $2400...Wow! Who would have thought? By this time we were too hungry to do pictures so instead we went for ice cream at Dutch Dreams but we almost cried because when we got there with mouths watering it was closed! Oh dear so another cafe it was. But it did not matter because no matter what obsticle came up or what we were doing this was a great day! Full of laughs and bizzare happenings! Thanks girls for an incredible day :)
