Travel Tuesday? Tempting Tuesday? Too-sad-I'm-not-there Tuesday?
Need to get back there soon.

A few Toronto finds

Just a handful of pictures of some of the neat things we picked up on our trip to the T-Dot:

Some cheery plastic floral clip-ons from the Village Des Valeurs in Quebec City, which kind of broke on our way home.

More earrings - and this isn't even all of them! The red-currant cluster clip-ons are from the Goodwill on Queen St W near our hotel in Toronto, and the other three pairs are from the Village Des Valeurs in Quebec City (that stop was a doozy).

A close-up of the vintage men's Burberry (!) sweater I picked up at Vintage Depot in Kensington Market in Toronto. So cozy! Merino wool, mmm. Might try to work this into an upcoming outfit-of-the-day picture...

Some hilarious vintage specs, thanks to pressure from Jennie, Spencer, and Peter, from the Value Village on Bloor in Toronto. 

More to come, including records, a vintage dress, a neat print & books!

Three sleeps: What to do in TO?

On Friday evening, Peter and I are leaving PEI by car for Toronto for his cousin's upcoming wedding. It'll only be for a few days, but I'm really excited to be back in the city even for just a bit. Still have to try and figure out how to spend our limited time! A few ideas:

•  Eat at Banjara Indian Cuisine - we have no Indian food here, so this is kind of our chance for the year.
• Get brunch somewhere like Mitzi's Cafe or Mitzi's Sister
• Eat more food we can't get here, like jerk chicken, or Ethiopian, or Vietnamese, etc.
• Buy nice sneakers (since there is no selection in my size on PEI)
• Go to a cool bar on College St
• Kensington Market?

No touristy stuff, just cool eats and maybe some good shopping. Only three sleeps now!
