| - we walked in probably near the end of closing time and the store was manned by one woman. she greeted us and was nice to us from start to finish, but god forbid you should have ever pissed her off. while i was looking for sweaters (read: sweater, NOT sweater-vests), i caught a nice verbal gem from this womans mouth that landed over all the sweaters i was looking through. she was talking on the phone to someone about her recently inaugurated ex-boyfriend. the best of the verbal diarrhea went something like this: "why doesnt he just go ahead and hang out with his new 23 year old PIG FACE GIRLFRIEND".
(sorry what was that, i couldnt quite understand. could you be more specific please. stop beating around the bush and cough up the real feelings. were all friends here.)
as i said, despite her performance piece, she was nice enough to the both of us, but might i suggest a different time and place?
the store is festooned like other vintage shops with clothes from many different eras probably back to the seventies it looked like. we also found some coffee tables that are the exact ones we have at home. mine came from my grandparents after they passed away and are in brilliant condition. theirs had scratches and no glass cover, but cool still.
i didnt really find any cool sweaters i liked. there were maybe a dozen to choose from and they were all thickish cotton and kind of ugly with stripes and stuff. i glanced over leather jackets, shirts, tshirts, etc. and its all displayed with a little flair which is nice. it allows you to see things anew.
they seemed to have a pretty good selection and it was relatively cheap too so id stop by next im in parkdale for a good find.
