These little old houses









It is finally the weekend and we are so exhausted from this long week. We ended up spending our Saturday running errands here and there all over the city by bike, metro and bus. It feels good to be home and to listen to our new records. I got my self a Peggy Lee record, not so sure how I feel so far but it's not to bad...

We took these pictures all on the same cute little street in Villeray,Montreal, I was really interested in the little blue one, no one seamed to live inside. I took this picture of the inside, look at those wood walls, it really looks like a poor family's house from back in the 30s. The first picture was taken in front of this little red brick house that looks like out of a children's book. I just love how these little houses are still standing today.

I had no time to add new items in the yeye etsy shop but tomorrow I will shoot all the men's and new women's items for my shop and add them no later then Tuesday.

It was a pretty sunny day with a gentle breeze, great for fall layering! My favorite time of year!

Now these are some pretty sweet houses, I love the brick one, it's so pretty!! It's funny because as you said, it was probably some poor persons house in the 1930's but I would love to live there in the present. Weird how those things work out.

Oh and you look absolutely lovely. I am loving the color combination's going on throughout your outfit.

Little houses, little home, sweet home. <3
You look adorable, specially the vintage green shirt. I like it's buttoned up look.
Your boyfriend... nice inspiration too. This is my style more or less.
