Fringe Club Recap
What a week! Rained out HARD on day one and a few too many hours in the blistering sun for this vampiric night owl. Overall, despite the elements, the Traveling Arts Market vendors and I had a great time and couldn't have asked for a more wonderful crowd! On July 9th, Arts Market and I celebrated our 4 year anniversary, I am proud to be the last remaining original vendor! I have been part of the Leslieville location since the very first day and we have grown together over the years. I'm not sure what I would be doing right now if I hadn't joined Arts Market and started up this treasuring/jewelstress business, but I am happy life lead me here! Thank you so much to all my amazing customers, to Daniel Cohen for creating Arts Market, my supportive and encouraging friends and a special loving thank you to my mom for all her support and additional treasure hunting outside Toronto!

Reasons why I am expanding my selection of vintage clothing!
I love a good blouse! Stand out from the crowd in the best possible way by buying quality vintage pieces that will last you forever.
Find all my vintage gear in my shop at Leslieville's Arts Market! 1114 Queen St. E. I have a ton of new arrivals this week!
Vintage clothing is a wise choice, when carefully selected for quality and timelessness! Superior in quality to mass produced items, the fabrics are lovelier and longer lasting. Garments have much better tailoring and details such as beautiful buttons that you just don't find on modern, throw away items. A sure fire way to have a unique piece that will garner many compliments is to shop vintage! The best part is there are so many great vintage clothing stores out there, all independently owned. It is a great way to support your own local economy, instead of supporting out of country companies that mass produce cheap clothes in deplorable circumstances. I will be renovating soon at Arts Market to accommodate a larger selection of vintage clothing so the space allotted can match the amount of love I have for these quality garments!
