Toronto Vintage Clothing Show

It finally stopped raining and I went for the first time to the Vintage Clothing Show here in Toronto. Ontario and Quebec dealers showed vintage fashion, jewellery, lace, linen and quilts at the Artscape Wychwood Barns . This former streetcar maintenance building is now a heritage site and offers a cultural hub for artists.



Re-living the 50's 60' 70' and on........







This embroidered blouse brought back memories, I think it still hangs in my closet in Germany. I will check it out next month on my visit.

I fell in love with that blouse-  if only the price tag didn't have the 3 in front of the twenty five it would have been mine! ( $325!!!)




thimble collections


cupie dolls


yarn in a dreamy powder blue

I left the show with a lost soul of a stuffed animal, some fabric from the 70's and a children's coat hanger.
