Come one, come all! Please join us at Lobby as we celebrate the launch of our ebay store! Good people, good times, and the sweet sounds of DjTweed spinning the best in Motown and 60's soul!
Name: Marianne Faithfull Occupation: Singer/songwriter, actress, muse Claim to fame: She began as a chanteuse in the 60's, but her music became secondary to her colorful personal life. Sex, drugs and rock and roll ruled this ladies life for a long time and her long-term relationships with Mick Jagger and heroin took center stage for awhile. Though she was dealt some rough cards, she managed to overcome her demons and return to music...
Sorry we've been so distant. Promise it's only because we've been working so hard to get this little project off the ground!
Had a quick shoot on the roof yesterday. Two more dresses that will be up for grabs come the launch of our ebay store!
Things are looking good for a November 1st launch and we couldn't be more excited!

Greetings Earthlings, Azil here. Haley and I had another rooftop photo-shoot. It was a beautiful, warm, September evening, and I had the urge to shoot. The lighting was this pretty pink-gray colour and I couldn't resist. The fruits of a lazy fall afternoon, with Haley Grossmith, who rocks any vintage look...
Aside from our passion for vintage fashion, gems and stones - there is another love we hold very dear to us. That love is music. So on top of blogging about our fashion finds and inspiration, we will from time to time introduce you to some of our favorite artists in hopes that you will love them as much as we do!
First up, Winnipeg darlings THE DUHKS. Now this is an act that simply cannot be summed up in one genre. They are an eclectic blend of everything from bluegrass to afro-beat to folk to world music. Musicianship? Fantastic... but the voice of singer Sara Dugas is simply other-worldly. After finally seeing them live last night, Allison has come to the decision that Sara cannot actually be human.

Vintage Heart is the brain-child of two kooky, vintage-loving, jewelry obsessed, like-minded girls from Toronto, Canada who came together when they were each desperately seeking a roommate. In each other they found more than just someone to share a space, but also a kindred spirit and a business partner. Between Allison's knack for vintage-hunting and Azil's fantastic jewelry-making skills, Vintage Heart was born. The VH girls are currently working on building their online store as well as turning their Penthouse apartment in the west end into a cozy, trinket-filled nest of creativity!
