Penny Arcade and Holiday Trunk Show

(No not the online comic by Tycho and Gabe) but a new vintage shop opening up at 1177 Dundas St. W. at Ossington. Self Described as a new spin on vintage fashion, Penny Arcade opens it's doors to the public on December 12. It sounds like more than just a clothing store... also a fun place to just relax... read a book... listen to some music.... And at night the store will serve as an event venue where musicians can put on a show and fashion conscious art lovers mingle.

The opening night sounds like it will be fantastic, I personally can't make it having already been invited to 2 Christmas parties that evening but if you can, try to get out there at 7pm this Friday the 12th to have a drink and admire the vintage finds, each hand picked by Rachel Sheehan, the entrepreneur behind Penny Arcade.

I did manage to make it out to The Workroom's holiday trunk show today. I had a certain someone in mind to pick up a gift for and found something fabulous. I guess I can't really post a photo until Christmas is over! A couple wonderful things I did see that I can safely post about however:
