{chanel travels...}

I love the new Chanel No 5 commercial with the beautiful Audrey Tautou. All the whimsy and class of vintage travel... trains, boats, exquisite clothes (especially the black wide-leg pant suit, swoon!) and of course a lovely scent.

{pink flamingos!}

After discovering Cassandra C. Jones' wonderfully unique wallpaper via The Drake Hotel, I couldn't resist posting more of these pink flamingo images from her Rara Avis series. She has taken photographs of the retro lawn ornament and composed them brilliantly into these vibrant flowers.

{the sisters...}

My older sis and I were extactic to be wearing vintage 1950's cocktail dresses from Toronto's Cabaret. This is the most exquisite shopping experience you will ever have, owner Tao treats every customer like gold and every item is unique.

A treated us to these beautiful 1920's antique bracelets... Tricky to see, but each one has carvings of a different flower with a hint of sparkle... Mine (left) and A's (middle) are dahlias, and J's (right) are roses.

Thank you A for these most perfect keepsakes!

{windows in white...}

I did a little antique browsing on the weekend and purchased a gorgeous white window-box-shelf for my art space. C and I have another huge window hanging on our dining room wall that looks alot like this beautiful find in Canadian Home and Country.

{vintage wedding...}

These are the invitations I designed for my sister's 1950's-
inspired garden wedding. The envelope addresses were
handwritten by the lovely and talented Claire Reyes.

These table linens will be used for the cocktail reception,
dotted with milk glass bud vases with pink & white flowers.
