Our Father’s Day Gift Guide
Following closely on the heels of our Mother’s Day Gift Guide, I’m happy to share my favourite picks for dad’s this Father’s Day. I find guys can be a bit more difficult to buy for, but I’ll pretty much guarantee you’ll find something below that the special man in your life will love, play with, consume, wear, or at least appreciate. Here’s to all the wonderful men in our lives… Happy Father’s Day!
Our Mother’s Day Gift Guide
May is the month to celebrate the women in our lives! In honour of Mother’s Day, I put together a gift guide with simple and affordable ideas for those who need to pamper themselves, love to create, or take pleasure in getting to work in the garden.
Where to Shop for Antiques in the Guelph, Cambridge, & Kitchener-Waterloo Region
In the third post of my series on vintage and antique items for your home, I’m sharing a few of my favourite local shopping spots. This isn’t an exhaustive list of antique stores in the area, but will hopefully give you some ideas of a few new places to explore for treasures for your home. If you don’t live locally (or just prefer to shop from home!) stay tuned for a future post on my top spots to source antique items online. But on to the recommendations!
The Vintage Home Decor Items you Should Shop For at the Thrift Store
The key to having a beautifully styled home is all about the mix: a mix of shapes (angular and curved), a mix of values (light and dark), a mix of textures (smooth and rough), and especially a mix of old and new.
Without vintage or antique items, your home can end up looking a little sterile and like you just dropped a chunk of change in the home decor section of Target (no judgment, I’ve been there!). Adding in just a few vintage items will give you that collected vibe that makes your space feel meaningful and that it has a story to tell.
