To Market To Market


We had so much fun at Dundas West Fest last Saturday, that we're doing another market this weekend! We'll be at the Leslieville Flea from 10 - 3 this Father's Day Sunday, so come buy some tiny vintage items, make a button or two, or just say hi! We can be found behind The Duke at Queen & Leslie... see you there!

Diamonds & Rust

With the weather (almost) heating up in Toronto, we're going to be participating in a number of outdoor markets starting with Dundas West Fest, which BlogTO voted "Most promising new festival". We will be there as part of a vintage and handmade market put together by Penny Arcade called Diamonds & Rust, at Dundas & Rusholme. We'll have scores of great kids vintage clothes, books, and a make-your-own button station, and you can check out all the other great vendors while you're there!

The Wizard of Op

Since I first borrowed it from my school library over twenty years ago I have had the images from Ed Emberley's The Wizard of Op (1975) stuck in my head. Part comic book, part Op art, what's not to love? I think it also paved the way for my eventual Magic Eye obsession. It's also maybe why I love other books full of psychedelic black and white illustration, like the Frank Asch book I shared previously. As far as I know The Wizard of Op is out of print, so if anyone reading this ever comes across a copy, please let me know! For the time being, at least I found some of the images through the magic of the Internet.
