my, oh my. I'm seeing the potential.

This faux snake-skin clutch sailed in on a puff of cocaine and hubris back in the late 1980s. She made a killing in The City and retired in 1990 to sunnier climes. She's been sipping mojitos for the better part of two decades, but with this global recession on, she just knows there's a killing to be made in the markets for the girl with the right insider info. And she has the right info.

Low Rider

This pretty lady came to us after a few exhausting years on the New York social scene back in the 1960s. She wanted something of a quieter existence, just for a few years, but she's ready to go back out into the world -- preferably with someone who'll fill her with classy lipsticks and scandalous diaries.

Well, after a long hiatus...

We're back! And we have some pretty new things to show you!



This pretty little thing came to us after a few crazy nights at a party in suburbia back in the 1970s. She's a little tired, but she still glows from the inside. Mother of Pearl is like that.




These dudes had a grand old time on Wall Street back in the mid-1980s, but they got sick of the big city living and came to stay with us. They're ready to face the world again, and are looking for a nice home with a bit of excitement.




She's sipped drinks with Maharajahs and partied at Studio 54. She settled down for a little bit, but her wanderlust has kicked in again and she's looking to travel the world.

all I can say is that my life is very plain

Red Floral Draped Blouse


This exotic piece came to us from New York via LA via Honolulu. She's had a time of it. Snorting cocaine on 60-ft yachts and drinking pink champagne. She settled down to the quiet life only a few years ago. She's chemical-free but bored with the MidWest and wants a bit of adventure. Possibly in Europe...?

Am I Ulysses? No, but you are now, boy

This lovely cotton dress was conceived in the halcyon summer days of 1969. She grew up on a VW bus for the first five years, her parents finally settling down in South-Eastern Alberta to farm mushrooms. The normal kind. When she turned 18 she set out on her own journeys, recalling the lovely moments of her childhood. After travelling through the Far East, she settled in Saskatoon with us to take advantage of Saskatchewan's stellar Arts Board. She's wanting to keep on trucking, however.

smash the compass, burn the maps, I guess we'll be fine

gold jacket


This shiny jewel of a coat spent many a year foundering in Dolly Parton's wardrobe before we took her on. She rests contented in the vintage section of our shop, but we fear she's grown despondent without Dolly's sequins and rhinestones for company, and so we offer her for adoption to one of you who knows the true definition of fabulous.
