Wellys in downtown

Published by

EDIT: I have a new post as this is old and busted. It was updated April 15, 2008. Please follow. I’ve found a store the sells the original wellington boots in downtown Toronto. Yay! Lee Valley Tools carries the original Wellys in green and blue. Lee Valley Tools – Downtown opens April 3, 2006 590 King Street West (416) 366-5959 Lee Valley Tools – East 1275 Morningside Ave. Scarborough (416) 286-7574 Fax: (416) 286-8174 Lee Valley Tools – West 5701 Steeles Ave. W. Weston (416) 746-0850 Fax: (416) 746-8474 Thanks the to the Constant Shopper. They also have a tip for lower cost options for boots. I would talk about them here but I don’t like them. LOL. The 2 above links are from The Star. You will need to register to view the articles, or you can use Bugmenot EDIT (10/24/2006): Hunter Wellingtons can be found just about anywhere downtown now. They have become very common. I will note that I haven’t seen too many people wearing them around though. Wait for sale time …

One of a kind pendants from SpoonFed Art It’s always nice when beautiful things grace my email. That was the case with SpoonFed Art. I was totally blown away by the detail and creativity of the jewelry. Pendants using spoons were so unique. It was a perfect medium for the tiny collages that Karin Collins puts together. Each pendant is one of a kind. There many pieces that are just gorgeous to look at. Tuesday Weld, Fall Evangeline, Two Flowers

i got: Air Cadet Overcoat

Published by

I was walking by Black Market on Tuesday and spotted a beautiful grey wool coat on the racks outside. I can spot a military jacket from 10 paces and blindfolded. It was my lucky day, I discovered a stash of RCAF Air Cadet overcoats. They are also referred to as Greatcoats The jacket also includes RCAF gold buttons, sweet. Price, you ready for this. 10 bucks. $11.50 with tax. SCORE! The best thing about this coat is the fit. The were made for adolescent boys, which translates to correct sizing for an adult woman with a military fetish. It’s not easy to find authentic military gear for a size 4. It’s a shame that this pictures make the coat so dark. The closest picture from the Internet I could find was this Picture taken from eBay If you are in the area you should take a look for yourself. There were about 10 more and in perfect condition. It’s just too bad it’s getting warm. Great find for next winter though. Black Market MEGA WAREHOUSE …
