I thought it was about time to share one of my all-time favourite hobbies...exploring the city in search of blog-worthy local boutiques!!
So with this long weekend ahead of us, I tied on my new favourite neckerchief and headed over to a vintage boutique I've been hearing so much about- The Bead Goes On!
The moment I spotted its super bright pink/blue store front at Mount Pleasant Rd. and Soudan Ave., I knew it was going to be a good day. The owner, Cyndy Calder, has done a magnificent job of hand picking some of the most unique vintage, yet relevant pieces I have ever seen. If you haven't already visited this fantastic vintage boutique then you must go... NOW.
I have created a list of My Top Picks above (admittedly after several hours of narrowing down my ever-growing list...).
But hey! The fun does not stop here because Cyndy and her fabulous entourage of vintage pieces will be at the Heritage Antique Market @ Centerpoint Mall (6464 Yonge St. Toronto, Canada) this Victoria Day, Monday May 19th from 10am to 5pm. Plus I'll be there, so please come check it out!!
