Hope my fellow Canadians had a yummy and relaxing Thanksgiving. That's right, us Canadians celebrate
Thanksgiving in early October (2nd Monday to be exact, same day as Columbus Day). Why the early Thanksgiving you ask? Well, it coincides with the end of the harvest season (we are a little bit more north) and the holiday is to give thanks for the bountiful crops. Whereas, according to trusty ol' Wikipedia, the
American Thanksgiving was established by the Pilgrims to thank God for surviving their first brutal winter. When I asked the BF if we celebrate both when we're in the same household.....he says he's happy to have two occasions to eat turkey! ;)
I've mentioned
Sash & Bustle - Toronto's premiere modern bridal loft - many times before. I love how
Cynthia Martyn has introduced Toronto to the same 'alternative' gown designers (e.g.
Stephanie James) and accessories designers (e.g.
Paloma's Nest) that have won over so many American brides. Well, Cynthia has done it again. She recently announced that
Sash & Bustle will be carrying
Carol Hannah (yes, from Project Runaway!) wedding gowns and hair adornments from
Twigs & Honey. So exciting.
Carol Hannah is expected to arrive October 30th. An exact arrival time have yet to be announced for
Twigs & Honey so make sure you check the
Sash & Bustle blog frequently!
Below are my favourites from each collection.
