Until we meet again

Sweet dears, this post is to inform you that things are going to become quieter on the Chronically Vintage home front for the next little while. The reason behind this is because I’ll be going in for surgery on Wednesday (25th), for reasons pertaining to the (unexpected) hospital stay I encountered last May.



{Unlike the chipper young lad on the cover of this delightful 1950s children’s book (which can be found in etsy seller Ficklefrog’s shop), this week’s surgery won’t be my first hospital visit, but what he and I do share in common is that both of our mothers were/are going to be there to help make things more bearable. My wonderful mom is flying out from B.C. to help look after me while I recoup, which I know is going to make this experience infinitely easier to get through.}


I truly do not know at this stage how long my recovery period is going to be (my body is often ridiculously slow to heal, even for the most commonplace of things like minor cuts and bruises, and in the past I’ve recouped rather unhurriedly from other surgical procedures I’ve had), but I’ve been told (by my doctors) to expect at least three to six weeks.

It’s likely that I won’t be blogging again for at least a couple of weeks, and should the unexpected arise (i.e., I end up having to go back into the hospital after I’ve been discharged post-surgery), my darling husband will most likely write an update post informing everyone of what’s going on. In my absence (from blogging), he will also be approving all comments and fielding any incoming CV related emails.

I’m going to miss you all very much, and want you to know how much I truly appreciate your support and understanding regarding this situation.

Be well, precious friends, and know that you’re in my thoughts, as I send out oodles of wishes for a positively glorious, entirely enchanting last month of summer to each of you!

Taking a weekend medical leave of absence

Good morning my sweet dears, how are you each on this last weekend of March? I hope that you’re all doing beautifully and being treated to much warmer temps than Toronto has been experiencing this past week (it’s minus -7°C right now, can you believe that?)

This post is a fairly quick one to let you all know that I won’t be putting up a new edition of Saturday snapshots – or anything else for the next couple of days. As you may have noticed, I’ve been MIA since Wednesday, the reason being that late that night I experienced a new medical situation which really knocked me off my feet (figuratively speaking). I’m not going to go into exact specifics right now because I don’t have a conclusive diagnosis of the problem quite yet, but the symptoms are pointing towards to an issue with my gallbladder.

I apologize for missing yesterday’s regularly scheduled Vintage Fashionista Friday post, and for having to skip new posts this weekend. Tentatively at this stage, I hope to be back to blogging on Tuesday (30th) or Wednesday (31st) – if only to post an update of what’s going on.

Before I sign off completely for today though, I want to leave you all with something lovely and seasonally fun to enjoy, so I’ve grouped some of my most recent Flickr favourites together into a mosaic, which I’ve titled Prelude to a vintage Easter.
