Post Fringe Blues = Purchases and Booze

I think I have Fringe withdrawal, or at least theatre withdrawal. One reason could be how I just JUMPED at the chance to do our "Sid's" (robin) fundraiser BIRTH which I hope is going to happen. Not only is it a nice and good script, it will be a good bonding women's adventure and great fundraiser for a good cause (Breech Birth).

Another reason I can tell is I have some free time so I am buying things - my defense also is that the weather has been really crappy. Granted I have not bought much in the way of clothing in a while and I do try to buy local or at least Enviro stuff. I did not do so yesterday when I purchased a brown linen skirt from Winners (made in China but on SALE) or the two items at Apple Saddlery last night ( a functional black summer dress and brown cool, capris - BOTH ON SALE). However the purchases I made are ones I will wear a lot and are "classic" items - meaning in my books they will go with a lot of other items I own. Today I redeemed myself by making Eco purchases.

I found a new Fav store. It's called Adore It, and it's on York and Cumberland . I bought this cool one of a kind tank top made from recycled pieces of clothing, stitched with Canadian thread, and totally MADE IN CANADA. Also bought a Fair trade blouse designed in Canada but made in India. Everything in the store is either local, or Fair Trade or used. It's a great store with some really cool items for ladies. Check it out.

I also made my way down to The Workshop which is another one of my favorite stores - supporting local or Canadian designers and crafters. They have fantastic stuff. All be it pricey but I think really worth it. I didn't buy anything due to the above purchases I just made and the fact that I have a husbands birthday next week.

Now it's on to a Team Oreo party at Nadine's house. I miss my cast a lot and it's only been a few days - another sign I have Fringe Withdrawal. But the plans are happening. I have squeezed some limes, we are all on the search for Mint, JP is bringing the Rum, I have icing sugar , all we need is soda water and we are good to go! Bring on the Guitar Hero and Apples to Apples - it's gonna be a good night!
