Blah-blah-blahgidy blog...

    Thank God I do not have aspirations to be a "Blogger" because I sorta suck at updating and remembering that I have a blog LOL!

    I have some new stuff up in my shop and they are quite lovely if I do say so myself:




    I am very tired these days and kinda just feeling down in general, there is a lot going on with my extended family at the moment and well to be frank they wore me down years ago so I really don't have the energy to invest in this recent bout of high drama.

    I had a kitchen fire yesterday. It was really scary. I am so preoccupied with above noted drama (lack of sleep does NOT help) that I didn't realise how close I left a cotton pot cooler next to the burner. I was boiling water to make lunch for Catarina...two min later I walk towards the kitchen to check on said water and am met with a cloud of thick white smoke (My eyes were burning and I could not see a foot ahead of me) Catarina followed me into the kitchen (she is my sweet perfect shadow these days) and began coughing. I FREAKED out grabbed her ran to the bedroom tossed her on the bed and shut the door. I was not thinking so instead of going for the fire extinguisher (however that is spelt) I grabbed the metal burner protector that the flaming pot cooler was on (eyes stinging and lungs burning) and ran and threw it outside (still on fire I might note) God bless the neighbour for being home I called her and she ran over I grabbed Riley from his crib held his face against my chest (the smoke had yet to hit his room) and ran him outside to her...I then ran back in grabbed Catarina who was very scared and ran her outside to the same neighbour...I then smashed the fire out with the same metal burner protector and went back in opened all the windows and doors then joined the kids at the neighbours house (this is why you should get to know your neighbours btw) We waited for Craig who got home about an hour later and took them to the clinic...they were both fine but I am still shaken. If anything had happened to either of those two little saints I would have died twice.

    So that was yesterday....

    Lots of love,

    Cat

Estate Sale in a PINK Mansion in Rosedale!!!



    So yesterday myself and my head of P.R. (Claudine, she is pictured above) went to an Estate Sale in a Pink mansion in Rosedale.

    It was pretty much "da bomb" (LOL to 90s phrases). Claudine found a whole bunch of wicked books and Lauryn Hill The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill sheet music (this isn't even in print anymore!!!) I made out with the sweetest umbrella (it has a red tulip as the handle and it is green, I will add it to the shop later) some vintage hats, and a mustard 60s dress/coat that is literally to die for!!!! Oh and also I scored a baby book on Matisse for Catarina and a 50s cocktail ring for me :)

    I love estate sales. First off I am a total nosey-mc-posey and being able to prance about in someone's house is like a dream come true for me!!! I even had the nerve to ask the Estate company what the deal was: "So is this a messy divorce or a bank seizure?" they were like "ummm that is confidential information!" lol fair enough.

    I will post the items I picked up later this week :)

    Lots of love,

    Cat

moi...

    Mother:


    A Song for Catherine:


    "Song For Catherine"

    In your dreams, in your bed
    In everyone and in your head
    On the wall, it ain't white
    In every letter that you write

    In the way people talk
    In the shape of stones and rocks
    He's your hero, he's your god
    He listens to this song and nods

    In a voice, in a sound
    When you're happy, when you're down
    It will pass, things will change
    But you don't want to hear that

    In the scent of the air
    On the clothes that people wear
    You feel love, so does he
    And he's telling you 'I'm here'
    I'm here
    He's here
    He's here...

    ~K's Choice

    Lots of love,
    Cat

Spring in Toronto!

    So I have been noticing for a few seasons now the growth of a neo-grunge vintage street style that includes:

    Floral dresses and circle mini skirts, androgynous boots and shoes (granny, pixie, military, oxfords, bowlers), soft lace coupled with streamlined tailored pieces, and hints of plaid.

    On a side note how sad is it that I am a dinosaur who wore these things in the early to mid 90's when they were just coming down the pipeline from Seattle to Toronto? But I digress, where was I...oh yes Spring 2010, gotcha!

    Some people rock this neo-grunge in ways that conjure thoughts of the 30s depression era (very dust bowl in reference and hue) and also the tail end of the 20s. There is something very 'Deco' in this trend. I have also noticed a chaplin-esque flare in millinery choices. So essentially there are delightful 'little tramps' stomping around the streets of Toronto like it is their own private runway, and yah know what? I am loving it!
