Happy to welcome Mrs Huizenga to the Leslieville Flea, August 18th from10am-4pm Behind the Duke!

Mrs. Huizenga has been an anchor vintage store in the Roncy neighbourhood, established in 2005 and growing in leaps and bounds ever since. Last November the store made a bold move and relocated to the site of the old Goodwill at 28 Roncesvalles, selling stylish vintage clothing and accessories; furniture large and small; household décor from funky to elegant to functional; artwork of all varieties; and any manner of objects de vertu from collections of sable paintbrushes to sculptural antique tools.
The store also presents twice-monthly Hookerson-Blough Auctions of antique, vintage, retro and collectible items from local dealers and private collectors, which are designed to be as much a social event as they are sales. They’re friendly to first-time bidders, with a licensed cash bar and snacks. Everyone is welcome to try to beat the dealers to the deals – but the store can’t help but delight in auction items showing up in Aberfoyle and at St. Lawrence Antique Market the following weekends.
Mrs. Huizenga also holds special occasion events at the store, from vintage clothing collectives to salon evenings with local musicians, to believe it or not: a wedding reception. Having an enormous storefront affords the store great opportunities, and this means saying “YES!” to industrial carts with perfect patina, “Whee!” to Victorian sofas for lolling about on, and “Hell yeah!” to a vintage collector letting go of rack of clothing. 


We are thrilled to have them as vendors at the next Leslieville Flea!  Come check them out August 18th!

New Vendor Profile - Zazou Bisou!

We are really excited to have another new vendor selling vintage clothing at the August Leslieville Flea taking place on August 18th from 10am-4pm....when you see the things Julie is bringing you will be glad for that extra hour!

Julie Federman of Zazou Bisou has had a passion for vintage since a very young age - going through the racks of neighbourhood thrift stores and finding silk blouses, cute dresses and retro knick knacks with glee. 
The goal of Zazou Bisou is to pass on that glee-of-the-find to vintage lovers and modern mavens everywhere. If it makes her smile, she'll likely add it to her inventory. Zazou Bisou is a treasure trove of delectable hand-picked vintage clothing, decor & accoutrements spanning a variety of eras and aesthetics.


Each item is selected with care to satisfy the fashionista, femme fatale, and glamour puss in everyone!
