Fascinating Voyage with Dandy Wellington & Ahoy Vintage Cruises

We recently got back from Dandy Wellington’s Fascinating Voyage with Ahoy Vintage Cruises. I was involved with the marketing and had the pleasure of coordinating with Dandy as a social convenor.

It was a terrific once-in-a-lifetime trip and I’m so glad that we were able to share the experience with about 120 other people. The spirit of the event was #vintagestylenotvintagevalues and from the point of view of the guests, I’d ay it was a great success.

Geoff was the event videographer. Here are the videos from the event:

Here are just a few photos:

Easter Tea 2022

As much as we wanted to hold an Easter Parade this year, it still felt too volatile with Omnicron and we were a bit too busy anyways to make it work. Next year!

But that didn’t mean we wouldn’t dress up. First we took Daisy for a stroll in Grimsby Beach, home of the wonderful gingerbread cottages. Then we went to Niagara-on-the-Lake for afternoon tea at the Prince of Wales. It was a very nice day.

Spring & Cherry Blossoms in Niagara

We’ve had some great weather in Niagara this spring! We’re still waiting for the deeper pink cherry blossoms to come out but the white and now the softer pink sakura blossoms are out and they’re just lovely. Not to mention all the tulips! We just love it.

I’ve also been a bit obsessed with my Freddies of Pinewood jeans and jacket. I absolutely love having vintage inspired casual clothing like this for regular daily wear. These are the Beat Girl jeans.

Here’s a fun little video Geoff put together with his brand new fancy iPhone –

Easter 2021

Last year when we dressed up for Easter, it was still early in the pandemic and we certainly thought that we’d be back to in-person events by Easter 2021. That hasn’t panned out, but even so, it didn’t stop us from getting dressed up.

Leading up to this year, I mentioned around a bit online that it would be fun to use the hashtag #VirtualVintageEasterParade to share photos online. I didn’t have time to promote it too much but some people did participate so take a peruse here.

We took a little stroll in Niagara-on-the-Lake and managed to avoid getting too near anyone. All in good fun!

Geoff’s hat is from the Beau Chapeau in Niagara-on-the-Lake. For my hat, I added some large modern daisies to an old hat.

For my shoes, I finally had the chance to debut this pair of WEST shoes in champagne from Saint Savoy.  

It was too chilly without the jacket but I wore two spring brooches from Erstwilder, one on the blouse and one on the jacket.

Looking forward to doing something with other humans for Easter 2022… I hope. But alone or in company, we’re sure to dress up.
