Antiques on Queen
My five favourite posts from my time as the Social Media Coordinator at Antiques on Queen.
The owner was unconcerned with brand messaging. What she wanted was something creative, unique, and fun that their patrons would be excited to read each morning.

All original parts, and never needs an oil change.
This beautiful pink '62 Thunderbird is a stunning piece of automotive history. Sitting on 3/8" rims, this car boasts an impressive 0.5 cubic inch V0 engine block, outputting a staggering 0 horsepower through a push start 0-speed manual transmission.
On this Collector Car Appreciation Day, take some time to admire the cars of the past. While comfort, efficiency, and safety features have made dramatic leaps in the last few decades, newer cars simply don't have the "cruise factor" of the classics.

Two necklaces, so unalike in dignity,
Upon the bust they lay there seen.
One clouded, crude, with such barbarity,
The other, set in silver, polished clean.
So proudly featured here is peridot,
A verdant gem, its colour green and rife.
Though bright its gleaming, people scarcely know
The star-born birthstone, August's breath of life.

We have depicted a beloved children's character in jewellery!
Can you guess who it is?
Her whimsied tale was first regaled in 1862.
The little girl who first it heard said, "Her name's my name too!"
She'd eat, grow tall, then drink, go small, 'till doorframe she'd fit through.
A caterpillar gave advice, her friends were never few.
A rabbit white, a smile bright, a hatter and his crew.
The sights and sounds, the ups and downs, to her it all was new!
Though just a dream, by springtime stream, as leaves upon her blew.
But she'd repass by looking glass- to see that world anew!

Your search is over, better come around here
To see this great collection 'fore they disappear.
Should come as no surprise, now the choice is pretty clear.
It's beaded. Purse - Beaded.
The sale is ending, better get what you can.
They keep your phone and precious things so close at hand.
The choice is not tough, better get what you can.
It's beaded. Don't you want to look grand?
It's beaded (beaded), beaded (beaded).
With it, your outfit's completed.
Antique or vintage? Both are just right.
Dazzle and sparkle all through the night.
It's beaded.
