Port Hope Visitor Guide 2019
This is a place where you can slow down. If the weekend was a place, if the weekend was a philosophy, a conversation, a memory – this is where it would be. Port Hope is a place where you can shake hands with a farmer, snuggle a goat, take a dip in a cool lake, eat a meal fresh-picked from a local field, and breathe it all in. There’s room here. There’s quiet. There’s slow. And there are more ways to enjoy your day than weekends in a year. Come enjoy craft food, drinks and sunsets by the water. Explore quaint streets and scenic country roads. It’s the weekend.

THRILL OF THE FIND |136 Walton St.<br />
Why vintage designer fashion? I love the quality, the<br />
materials. It’s always more interesting to buy second-hand.<br />
I started collecting years ago and friends started asking me<br />
if they could buy from me. I’m a passionate collector first<br />
and a focused business person second.<br />
But vintage designer fashion in a small Ontario town?<br />
I love the mix of people. There are social events here and<br />
I think, wow, they really turn out! People look less at dresses<br />
here and do pants and jackets. I had a store in Leslieville for<br />
about 15 years and it was time to move from Toronto, so I<br />
also have customers from Toronto who come.<br />
Favourite piece you’d<br />
rather keep? A 1970 leopard<br />
print Diane von Furstenberg<br />
dress. You can belt it and<br />
loosen it up. It’s very boho.<br />
Best wardrobe tip?<br />
Have a few good pieces.<br />
Accessories are often<br />
forgotten, but add a nice<br />
scarf or add a broach in<br />
a less expected place,<br />
maybe on the waist of<br />
a little black dress.<br />
