Voyage on the Queen Mary 2

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

For our 10 year wedding anniversary at the end of 2019, we made a Transatlantic crossing from London (Southampton) to New York (Brooklyn) on the famous Queen Mary 2. It’s the world’s largest passenger ocean liner rather than a cruise ship, so it’s really designed to sail the seas. And it’s a much more traditional ship, built after the original Queen Mary, which has retired to the Los Angeles area.

Here’s a little video reminiscing about our trip!

We have some news coming soon all about our return to the Queen Mary 2 after the pandemic… We can’t say anything more about it just yet but I would like to invite friends to join the Facebook group called the Vintage Cruise Lounge to get the first news. 😉

Here is a panorama of the dining room –

It was wonderful to dress up and enjoy the elegance of the ship!

Virtual Vintage Easter Parade

Easter Sunday – Virtual Vintage Easter Parade

Several years ago we had the opportunity to visit the New York City Easter Bonnet Parade on Fifth Avenue. The cover photo is from that excursion. We thought it was so wonderful, and of course we’re fans of the film, so we brought our own small version of that event to Toronto for a couple of years. We were planning to revive it last year but of course the pandemic interrupted.

Instead, we turned it into a virtual even last year and it was nice to see people’s photos on Instagram!

So since we still can’t do a full in-person event this year, we’re doing a virtual event for Easter again. The great thing about a virtual event is it doesn’t matter where you are, we can all enjoy each other’s photos.

Dress up on Easter Sunday in your bonnet, hat, and other finery and snap a photo for Instagram. Use the hashtag #VirtualVintageEasterParade and look for other people using the hashtag to enjoy a little virtual Easter fun.

Join the Facebook event:

We look forward to seeing you!

Art Deco Vanity

Geoff restored this gorgeous Art Deco vanity for my birthday! It’s incredible. Not sure how he’ll ever top this birthday gift!

Ta-da!

Here’s the video where you can see Geoff’s restoration process and how he surprised me with it!

Now I’ve “moved in” –

Of course I had to start to fill it with my things. I like the special place at the top where I’ll reserve mainly for Besame cosmetics.

Dapper Day Review

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

Since we didn’t get to go to Dapper Day in April 2020 as we had planned, we thought we’d make a little video reviewing what exactly is Dapper Day and why do we love it so much!

We absolutely love Dapper Day. We’ve been twice to Dapper Day at Disney World and the next time we intend to go to Disneyland where there is both the park outing and also the Dapper Day Expo. Can’t wait!

Joining Forces!

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

At a certain point I realized that I have my own web pages, and Geoff has his own, plus YouTube, plus social media, etc. and it just made sense to have one place where we could centralize all our vintage stuff. So voila! I’m centralizing everything here under the new banner of “Stepping Out Vintage” and will continue to migrate over more of our vintage-related content in the next few weeks.

by Mandi Gould
written by Mandi Gould

This summer, Geoff created this wonderful video as an entry to the Escape to the Chateau “Dare to Do It” contest. We didn’t win but it’s a wonderful video that Geoff created so I hope you’ll enjoy!

The video includes baking macarons, DIY roofing, gardening, and a look at our little life together during the pandemic here in St. Catharines.
