The Pleasure Principle, Part 2

This has been a rather crappy Spring so far, in terms of weather.  Cold, rain, snow, wind - we've had it all.  It's been a bit of a challenge to keep one's spirits up, when one is seriously sun-starved, but I decided to revisit the wise words of my departed friend Helen and find things that made me smile over the last week.  Turns out it wasn't so bad after all, and in fact, this past weekend was pretty frickin' awesome (more on that in a later post).

Ratty whiskas!

Yummy pig-shaped Maple Bacon cookies from London Edible Art at the Western Fair Farmers' Market

Enjoying a Carmen Miranda moment at The Sentimentalist on a rainy afternoon.  The necklace came home with me while the hoops stayed at the store.

Blogger Meet-up!!!  Megan, of The Fashionable Bureaucrat, and I met up this weekend in Toronto to take in some art and some vintage.  The photo above is of us at the Gadsden's Toronto Vintage Clothing Show.  Surprisingly, we had not discussed our outfits before hand, but managed to be perfectly coordinated, which proves that us 40+ bloggers have psychic powers.  More about what Megan and I got up to in a future post.   You can read Megan's report of our Saturday on her blog here.   I was wearing a dress purchased at The Manhattan Vintage show, hat from The Sentimentalist, Neosens ankle boots, and bakelite bangles graciously on loan from a friend.  I just loved Megan's specs print dress!
