Toronto

Okay. So I'm spring cleaning in December. That's the life of a wedding photographer. I have all this time on my hands now. While organizing I keep coming across awesome old postcards and stamps. These postcards I picked up at a gallery years back. I love the gold foil! I only wish I knew who made them..
