    What a cute little story...but I feel kind of guilty knowing where Ed and Mrs. Ed shop when in Toronto...but thanks for putting money into our economy just the same!

    whatever keeps Toronto on the forefront of eV's mind (especially during the tour itinerary decision-making process) can only equal good things :)

    p.s. that "King of Grunge" handle?! i threw up in my mouth just a little,...

    I personally threw up a little at the Queen of Vintage! From the pictures I have seen of her, she looks anything but! I think she's very pretty, but I don't get the vintage vibe from her at all. I think it's cute Ed bought her dresses, though! Haha.

    I think they were referencing the owner of the store when mentioning 'the Queen of Vintage.' Yes...? No...?

    I saw that too.
    My H couldn't buy me a pair of socks I would like let alone dresses- I am so envious.

    Wow, I wish my husband would buy me vintage Pucci. Not that I'm bitter or anything ;) I actually think he is way too scared too buy me clothing because I'm quite particular and he always seems to think I'm at least a size bigger than I actually am :D

    Thanks for the link! Cute story.

    I haven't been there in years - glad to know where it moved to - it deserved an upgrade from the old hidey hole
