Vintage Fall Favourites: Coming Soon!

Coming soon on Etsy -  a few of my favourite vintage finds for fall! Link in sidebar.


I had been hoping to be writing a lot more, but I've been such a busy bee lately!

I'm back at school full time, working part time at my internship, part time on Etsy and still trying to manage time for the fun stuff - like reading, thrifting, knitting, and of course writing!

 I'm slowly starting to manage the new routine but it's taking some work.

I've had some good luck thrifting lately so I thought I'd share some of my finds from my local Salvation Army and Value Village. These are all available/will be available in the shop as well, so if something interests you, let me know!

One of my favourite items on the list is this 80's cream knitted pullover which I scored new with tags from Value Village (deadstock) for around $6. How I love a good deal.
I'm a sucker for oversized knitted sweaters and I know I'm not the only one!
 I will be living in these this fall/winter season - the best part is it's really easy to find nice knitted sweaters during thrift hunts - and they're always so affordable and unique.

 Now I'm just waiting on the weather to cooperate with me so I can wear them.

I hope you're enjoying the start of the new season. Happy fall equinox!

Everything is Temporary: The Season of Renewal

My favourite season is almost here. The time for sweater weather, warm beverages and long walks on crunchy, colourful trails. Tomorrow I'll be going back to campus with thousands of other students,

 and we'll all be getting into a new fall routine. 

This is probably the most exciting part of a new season for me. 

That concentrated feeling of renewal and the smell of change - nay, possibility, in the air. 

Just as the season changes and the trees lose their leaves, you'll grow and shed parts of yourself. 

You'll meet new people, accomplish new things and have new experiences. 

You may leave some things or people behind, and that's okay. 

Nothing good lasts forever and it's for this reason that we can truly appreciate it.

Everything has its season. The flowers, the birds, even our lives. The simple fact that something won't last forever is exactly what makes it so precious. This is especially recognizable in the fall. 

So live for the moment and live in the now. 

Eat slowly and well. 

Say the important things.

Wake up early.

Have a hobby.

Make memories.

Celebrate the small victories.

Let people know what they mean to you.

Autumn and winter may come and things may end, but spring always follows and change is good.
