Where we ate our dinner
Inside St. Jacob's Antique Market
Just a portion of the massive record collection in St. Jacob's Antique Market
If it wasn't so heavy, I would be packing it to bring home
$350. Still thinking about how much I want this.
The pictures above are from St. Jacob's Antique Market. My fellow purveyors and I also made the short journey over to Canada's largest Antique market in Preston. The camera and suitcases are some of the vintage goodies I have acquired over the last little while.
The two greatest things that my Dad ever gave me was life and the Beatles.
I grew up listening to music circa 1960 which included the likes of The Beatles, The Beach Boys, Lesley Gore... among many others. I often lamented over how my dad insisted on playing his music around the house and within the confinement of the green mini-van. However, with time I developed a particular admiration for the yesteryears and have since dreamt of being a teenybopper on American Dreams who makes the defiant transition into a flower child. My love of the oldies extended into films when I discovered classics such as Rebel Without a Cause, Some Like it Hot, Roman Holiday, An American in Paris, and Grey Gardens. While it would be fascinating to imagine that I am the rebirth of a sixties mod, it seems more believable that I love vintage because it restores the reveries of my childhood.
Yours,
P. xo.
