I have been blogging since 2012 (Happy 10 years to me!) and so it would make sense that I have accumulated quite a collection of blog posts on the topics of love, romance, valentine’s day, friendships etc. So instead of reinventing the wheel this love day, I have decided to put together a roundup of all my posts with the themes mentioned above and you can pick and chose what you want to read for the first or repeat time.
Enjoy! And please share in the comments section what your favourite post was.
It’s been awhile since I have shared my favourite vintage online reads and videos with all of you. I have just been so busy after the Christmas season, travelling and working on my marketing plan for my Pinterest business that I have completely forgotten.
Well don’t worry my lovely readers, today is the day that I showcase some super online content focusing on the 1920s-1960s (the Vintage Inn’s specialty).
No spoilers in the article below, it’s just a fun “Behind the Scenes” post from Town & Country (click on the image to be taken to the article).
AND….. Comment below if it’s also your fav show & if your not watching it…finish this blog post and off you go to catch up with the rest of us 🙂
Historica Canada has released a new ‘Heritage Minute‘ telling the story of the Vancouver Asahi baseball team. Challenged both on and off the field, they won multiple titles over 27 years. In 1942 their run was cut short, when they were interned along with 22,000 other Japanese Canadians.
This story is moving and very powerful and a must watch for Canadians and non Canadians alike (Video Link).
An initiative of Historica Canada, The Memory Project is a volunteer speakers bureau that arranges for veterans and Canadian Forces members to share their stories of military service at school and community events across the country. Our speakers have reached 2.5 million Canadians since 2001.
The Memory Project Archive houses more than 2,800 testimonials and over 10,000 images from veterans of the First World War, Second World War, the Korean War and peacekeeping missions. While the archive no longer accepts submissions, it remains the largest of its kind in Canada.
Here is one of those archived stories. The story of Alene Quick and a memory she had while serving in the Canadian Women’s Army Corps.
As many of my readers know, I love ‘The Lindy Hop’ and have been swing dancing for almost 10 years. So it was very exciting when I saw that for Black History Month, Google’s Arts and Culture portal showcased several aspects of Lindy hop Culture. This included:
Recently while travelling to Malaysia last December I was finally able to see the much talked and raved about movie ‘Crazy Rich Asians‘. HOLY MOSES IT WAS AWESOME!! Hands down a fun movie that I have since watched several more times (Fun fact: My husband has watched it more haha!). Just like Mrs. Maisel, if you have not seen it yet please add it to your “must watch list”.
One of the things that caught my attention was the soundtrack. It had swing, it had a 50’s sound and it matched the movie perfectly and my toes never stopped tapping. I wanted to know about this music I was hearing.
