Scooters and Tunics



We had a fun photo shoot with Stuart from the Capital City Scooter Club.  His club is hosting their 25th anniversary Garden City Scooter Run this weekend.  They are expecting about 200 scooterists from Portland, Vancouver, Seattle, Bellingham and as far away at Northern California and Calgary.  I was just checking out  their website and it looks like  a lot of fun plus they are raffling off this beautiful Silver 1973 Vespa. Stuart emailed to let us know the best place to see all the beautiful vintage scooters is Sunday, in front of the Empress Hotel at 1 p.m.

Thanks to Rae-Ann who modeled the Ampersand tunic in the freezing cold for the shoot.  We just received an email from a favourite customer of ours, Lisa in Halifax.  She wrote to let us know the tunic "is just a fabulous piece of clothing for a gal with hips and tits". Thanks Lisa!

Kevin you got Victoria and Glenda plus Diane A and Beth

Reminder: Sunday May 10th is Mother's Day!


Wouldn't your mom look regal in a Smoking Lily silk ascot? Pretty luxurious and pretty much the perfect Mother's Day gift, if you ask me. We've got quite the assortment of colors and prints to suit her as well, with more trickling in later this week. Give it some thought...Plus, how does this deal sound:

Buy a lovely silk ascot and get a colorful velvet wallet of your choice!


One of these could be yours....on us! Offer ends Sunday. Happy Mother's Day!
