I'm back from Texas! Tired, unorganised, kinda greasy and full of good memories. I'm sure I'll have more to say on all that later...
Last week, I never had a chance to post on something pretty exciting that happened just before I left... I was on the cover of the Go section of The Hamilton Spectator!!! This makes me a cover model, right?
The writer of the article ended up following me on a thrift adventure (a very successful thrift trip I might add... this blazer and this skirt were part of the haul) and she wrote an article about the blog and thrifting. She also wrote about my boyfriend, Matt. This boyfriend of mine likes hockey and beer and is actually my husband, Matt... I just had to clear that up before the rumour mill gets out of control. The media attention has been relentless...:)
A special thanks to The Spec for the feature and to Sheryl Nadler for writing such a nice piece about me. She was endlessly patient as I talked about thrifting... a lot. It was like the dam broke when I was talking to her and I couldn't stop yammering on about the only sport I have ever been any good at; the sport of thrift.
I read that ,it was a great article ,congratulations .Nice to know you visit some of my favorite stores .
ReplyDeleteI'll bet at this very moment the writer of your article is stalking the thrifts. I'll bet you've converted her.

ReplyDeletewooohooo Congrats girl!! That calls for a blog party :-)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations, it's so nice to be recognized for a passion! I checked the article to see if my friend Lisa, who is a style writer at the Spectator might have written the piece, but it wasn't her. Aw dang it. Either way - super exciting!
