This weekend myself and all my fellow Canadians are celebrating our thanksgiving…So Happy Thanksgiving!!! I hope it’s a wonderful time spent with family and friends and pumpkin pie 🙂

I have a lot to be thankful this year, from having an amazing husband, good health, job, family to my friends and new friends at the Toronto Vintage Society, my blog and of course my fantastic readers. Its been a very very good year and I’m very blessed.
