spring ’13 Ottawa vintage show recap
We felt a bit spoiled this past weekend, as we bounced from brunches to hangouts with old and new friends alike, only to be capped off by some fabulous weather Sunday for the Vintage Show. Not a bad way to kick off summer!
Whereas our first time at the show this past fall consisted of maybe grabbing everything we could (all essentials, we swear), this time we did more targeted shopping. CJ scored the perfect fitting trench coat for a price you couldn’t believe and Katherine picked up some really unique brooches. More so than finding neat treasures though, we love how the vintage show brings all kinds of people together. The event also gave us the opportunity to connect with some ‘e-friends’, as Katherine went out to brunch with some other local bloggers! Needless to say, it was great to put names to some faces.

What do you think of our finds and were you at the vintage show? If so, we’d love to see what you picked up—Tweet us or post to our Facebook page. Hope to see you next time, as you can bet we’ll be there!

Hi there! Loving your blog, my name is Katie Elliott I am the creator of Tag a Trend.co.uk (www.tagatrend.co.uk)
The website works like this: each week I announce a new fashion trend, and people send in pictures of themselves wearing that trend to tagatrend@gmail.com along with their name, age, town and a link to their blog.
These pictures then appear on our Facebook wall at http://www.facebook.com/TagATrend and on the Tag a Trend site.
Next week’s trend is ‘Statement Necklaces’ and as I can see you are loving the trend, I thought you might be interested in getting involved and sending in a pic of yourself in a statement necklace!
Your picture will be featured with a direct link back to your blog so is great for spreading the word about your site!
Look forward to hearing from you!
Katie
