Holiday Must-Haves 3: Etsy Products I LOVE!
For part 3 of the Holiday Must-Have series,
I wanted to share some of my favourite Etsy finds of the year that I’ve added to my MUST-HAVE list (and now you can too). Aside from rain drops on roses and whiskers on kittens, these are a few of my favourite things this season:
(1) EARRINGS FROM “OSTLUND CUSTOM WORKS”:
Hammered aluminum and brass earrings. I have myself a... Read More
Hodge:Podge “So Canadian, Eh?” Series
Wow, time DOES fly!
I don’t know how it happened, but for the first time in over a year, I ran out of time to feature two posts last week. *Tsk tsk tsk* I know, I’m a bad blogger! I blame it on all the fun I’ve been having during my visit back home in Toronto, and the fact that for 4 days, my mumsie and I took a fabulous trip together to the Big Apple!
Myself and my beautiful... Read More
Holiday Must-Haves 2: Eco-Friendly SnapSac Totes
I have been waiting
a long time to tell you about one of my favourite products, and guess what, friends? The time is now!

Photo Essay of My Visit to ROME
I love Rome
for all the same cliched reasons that everyone else does – the great food, the stunning architecture, the easy-going way of life…but just because these reasons are cliched, doesn’t make them any less true! In fact, the resounding “ROME IS AWESOME!” from everyone who has had the pleasure of visiting this city will attest that Rome is just as special as its... Read More
Typography Pop-Art Inspired by Poetry at gallerywest
Art makes me smile.
It always has, and it always will. You may have read about how I love to visit art galleries when I’m traveling (remember the quaint gallery in Positano in THIS POST? Or the cultural arts center in Granada from THIS POST?) but I also love to pop into as many galleries in my hometown of Toronto when I can.
This week, I will be spending quite some time at one of my... Read More
Hotel Review: Gorgeous Colonial Hotel Dario
The moment I laid eyes
on the chic Colonial facade of Hotel Dario in on Calle de la Calzada in Granada, Nicaragua, it was love at first sight.
Mostly because of the unusual teal and white colour scheme that makes this nineteenth century building’s Colonial architectural details POP! Even though colourful architecture is the norm in Nicaragua (colour is vital in Latin culture), it always... Read More
Painted Signage in Small Town Nicaragua
The small town of Rivas
in Nicaragua is such a wonderful place to visit to get a true sense of Nicaraguan culture. The low number of tourists in Rivas has resulted in the town’s ability to retain it’s authentic charm – low prices, great food stalls, friendly children and non-pushy vendors. There was a surprising number of hostels in the town, considering it isn’t the... Read More
