A Day in the Country Sale and The Greensville Antique Show and Sale

I am coming out of blogging lethargy to post about two great sales my friend, Cynthia, and I attended yesterday. 

The first show of the day is called A Day in the Country Sale hosted by Kim Davies of Tattered and Torn.

Such a feast for the eye to see so many wonderful items beautifully displayed. The photographs above are from the booths of various dealers including The Primitive Heart,  The Eclectic Pelican and Tattered and Torn.

After purchasing a few lace treasures here, we made our way to The Greensville Antique Show and Sale a few miles away. This show presented another feast of textiles, buttons, clothing and related items. It seemed to be the day to find great bits of handmade lace pieces and we both scored some nice bits.

 
To cap off the hunt for antiques, we made our way to Taylor’s Tea Room in Dundas, Ontario for lunch. Highly recommended!

We were back home mid-afternoon tired but happy!

Antiques at the St Lawrence

Here are the pictures from my friend, Kelly's store - Antiques at the St Lawrence - located at 92 Front Street East, on the north corner of Jarvis and Front Streets in Toronto, Canada.


In the shop, Kelly has an ever-changing selection of funky and vintage items including quality clothing, handbags, jewellery, china pieces, shabby chic and cottage-y items plus knitting supplies and more. The store is open by chance or appointment on Thursdays and Fridays and both days on the weekend. You can check the store hours by calling 416 350 8865.

You can see more of Kelly's picks on eBay where she sells under the name Black Rose Vintage.

Meet Barbara and Rosie

My friend, Barbara, sent me a picture of her cat, Rosie, and I had to share it with you. Rosie lives with Barbara amidst vintage fabrics and other amazing goodies. Before Barbara takes her quilts, chenilles, aprons, bark cloth into her shop, she launders and irons everything using an old-fashioned iron; she wears out an iron a year! Her shop is overflowing with eye candy to delight every romantic soul. I get to mind her shop occasionally when she is doing other antique shows and I always have a fun day. I'm going down to her shop this weekend to take some pictures that I'll share with you on Monday. In the meantime, you can see some of her current eBay offerings here.
