A vintage day

This is old news now, but I haven't had a chance to load these pics until now. I went to the Toronto Vintage Clothing Show at Wychwood Barns last Sunday. It was looking to be a gloomy Sunday and I was still in a bit of a haze. Partly from lack of sleep and partly from the effects of a slightly-fruitful-but-full-on-hardcore cross-border shopping Saturday in Buffalo with A. and S., complete with Buffalo wings! It has become our annual Spring day-trip and we had a great time despite my sup-par state. Anyhow, I was in the perfect mood for a fancy-free day at an antiques show. The venue was great (loved the natural light) and the show was a really nice size with good-quality vendors. And then the sun came out and it turned out to be a beautiful day!

Here are some photos from Sunday. I seem to take too many phone pics lately and not enough real camera photos, so please excuse me!

Ok... waaaaay past my bedtime. I am up so late right now as I was working on a bunch of things including some show applications. Think I'll take on some Summer events this year! Hope to get in!

Will post some more tidbits in the day!

Until Midnight...

Today is the last day of the MoonRox fundraiser to help the victims of the triple disaster in Japan. All proceeds from purchases made from the Online Shop will be donated to the Red Cross. This is ending at midnight. Thanks to those that have made purchases to help out. I cannot believe it has been a month since the horrible earthquake and ensuing events in Japan. Although the fundraiser is ending soon, I know we have not forgotten the people in need and we will all try to keep helping!

Friday's musings

It's Friday and I am exhausted. Stayed up wayyyy tooo late and got up too early, but it was for a good cause. Here are my random thoughts of the day:

- Digging these earrings. Find them in the Shop.

- The MoonRox fundraiser to support the victims of the disaster in Japan will end on April 11th, 2011. Keep shopping and helping!

- Going to make a big donation to The Corsage Project today. So excited to be a part of this... Hope the event is a huge success!

- Will have some new arrivals at boutiques to update you on soon. Here is the list of stockists as of now.

- You can now follow MoonRox on Twitter, HERE.

On non-MoonRox topics...

- Love the gorgeous colours of these tulip fields seen on Lemmemakeit. Can't wait for Spring blooms to pop here.

- Might be lining up with A. and S. for these.

- Ordered some of these to tame the tresses. Waiting for them to arrive in the mail!

- Like some of the D.I.Y. ideas seen on the Ikea blog.

- Plan to recover the parents' vintage teak chairs for my dining set.

- Need to sew some Summer dresses.

- Think I may bust out the old paints and put them to canvas.

- Looking forward to seeing Mrs. B. and the hubby next week.

- Need some chicken wings and beer! (Though not at this hour... )

So tired, I can't think of what else I meant to say... need a nap!

Weird gadgets

I received these extremely odd looking thingamajigs for my iPhone recently. The do-dad on the right is a finger substitute for the touch screen -- kind of like a tiny pen. And you can plug it into the headset jack so you don't lose it. Didn't work so well and I quickly resumed using my own ten digits. And what would one need a wee plunger for? Apparently to suction to the back of the phone so you can hold it better while playing games?! People will think of anything! Not sure about these things, but thanks to the fam for thinking of me.
