Polska Bound!

Busy with lots of family visiting this month and I'm off to Polska for a wedding and some creative inspiration!

Happy August!!! :)

Alex, Jeff, Moritz & Obie's House

It was a rainy, gloomy day yesterday but I had a very nice visit with my friend Alex and her brand new baby boy, Moritz. :)

Moritz's cozy room:

Alex made these book racks herself (she's super crafty...she can needlepoint, make intricate beaded jewelry, and anything you want out of Lego....):

Jeff's vintage camera collection:

Original architectural drawings of a Swiss cable car. This belonged to Alex's grandparents in Switzerland (please pardon the blur): 

Study/sun room (I would like to call it "the observation deck" hahaa):

Jeff's favourite Star Wars art:

"Thums Up!"

Last night was one of the perfect summer nights.  The weather was lovely and we had a delicious birthday dinner for Melinda at Lahore Tikka House.

Here are some pics that I took of Melinda's birthday present before hand.  I wasn't 100% sure if this was the pattern that she had collected, but I was crossing my fingers... :

Luckily, the pattern was a match. :)

Kulfis for all!

The bike caravan, led by the tandem, proceeded to the West end for some homemade birthday cake....(erm, sorry for the blur)...

Happy Birthday, Melinda!!!! :D

Super Granny Tea Party?

I was perusing around Urban Outfitters the other day and I found these kitschy doily placemats.

I guess you can make it super granny.... ;)

Or keep the doilies to a minimal....

Thrifted at St. Lawrence Sunday Antique Market

Great finds for the little apartment..... :)

A much needed floor lamp:

 

Metal "C" medicine cabinet:

Here's the last of all the furniture to arrive...it has taken months but it was well worth the wait....
