We've been experiencing a crazy heat wave in Ontario so I thought I'd share some swimsuit inspirations since all I can think about is going for a swim to cool off. I can never get enough of vintage swimsuits! I love the style and I think they're super flattering for all body types! I'm so glad this style is trendy again!

blog wanderlust whimsy megan pickering flea market antique vintage

On Saturday Greg and I made a trip up to the Pickering Markets to check out their newest Roadshow Antiques market. I have such fond memories of this place because my parents would take my sisters and I antique shopping there all the time. Never would you find 3 kids more excited to be dragged around to look at old junk. But what our good behaviour really meant was: if we were good kids then our parents would buy us old-school Betty & Veronica comics! So naturally we were 3 little angels. (Or at least I hope we were).

Unfortunately the older and more interested in antiques I became, the more the 'antique' portion of the market dwindled and all that was left was a booth that sold antique replicas. It became quite the bummer. So you can imagine how delighted I was to hear they added an Antique Market again! Let me tell you, I was like a kid in a candy shop!

I kid you not, I was beaming from ear to ear while running up and down the isles. I think I said to Greg at least a half dozen times that being there made me the happiest girl on the planet! And of course he would just laugh at me until some cool gadget caught his eye.

I think we've found a new tradition to add to our list of date days! I seriously can't wait to get back there and do some shopping!

Buy ALL the things!

So I haven't updated in over a week because I haven't been near a computer long enough to do so. Even today I'm super busy as I'm heading back to Hamilton to help my little sister re-do her new house.

However I really want to share something cool we found on Monday when ripping up the floor in her house: A newspaper from the 50s! More specifically a copy of the Hamilton Spectator from Wednesday April 4th, 1956.

As soon as I saw it I was so overcome with excitement because I love anything 50s! Luckily for me I had my camera on me so I took a few photos of it to share with you.

As for the paper itself we are going to have sections of it framed to put up in her living room.
