Colourful Weekend

The weekend started with The Sound of Music sing-a-long at the TIFF Lightbox.....

and ended with sharing the tastiest macarons in the city with my bestest friend....

Christmas Fair -- Distillery, Toronto

The other week, I took a chilly bike ride over to the annual Christmas Fair at the Distillery...

I enjoyed a typical Canadian snack....

Also had cinnamon pecans that were still hot from the roaster...mmmm....

Then, before I left, I had to bid "adieu" to the reindeer(s)...

A Long Awaited Catch-Up

Spent a (much needed) full day of catching up with my bestest friend Marisa at her house yesterday....I know, it's like we're 12 yrs old, but what can you do? ;P

I loooove the retro style of this light (it came with the house), but she hates it:

My favourite artwork:

A lovely gift from England for one of her daughters:

It was a blustery gray day of hail and wet snow, however here are a few things that made the day a bit brighter....

A tree adorned with Easter eggs:

Fresh baked goods:

A (poor) chick who lost it's beak (awww):

Catching up with a good friend with a cup of tea and an orange blondie with cream cheese icing:

Hope you had a happy Sunday too!

Bobbette and Belle - Leslieville, Toronto

One of my favourite things to do is sit at a nice sunny café with good company, sample delicious pastries, consume lots of caffeine, and all the while, people watching and taking pictures.  We did just that this weekend, and pretended we were on vacation.
