Desert Day 1

Hi everyone! Oops I've been a little lax on the blogging! Summertime always seems to get in the way of any additional screen time! Today I am hobbled by a foot injury and basically bound to a reclined position so what better time to catch up on a little blogging! I have been meaning to post the photos from the Rome leg of my Italy trip from last year, but A) somehow those photos will not load each time I try and B) It seems so long ago! I'll figure it out one of these days.

In the meantime here are some pics from my trip to Palm Springs and Palm Desert this Spring. 
My friends K and A asked me to join them on their trip and I jumped on it immediately. It was late-Winter and I was in the middle of the semi-annual One of a Kind Show craze, so I went without knowing a thing about the area or what we would be doing on this trip. Sometimes I think knowing nothing is the best way to visit a place.
K and I have known each other since the 8th grade but we have never taken a trip together so this was a nice treat.
As soon as I arrived, I got a chance to check out the Parker Palm Springs. If you know me, you know I love a good vintage find, mid-century modern style and loads of colour, so this place was just my kind of scene.
I mean, look at this giant owl macramé hanging!
I felt right at home.
Coming from a lingering Toronto Winter, it was so invigorating to feel the warm California sun and catch the sight and scent of vibrant flowers.
 Got us some delicious cocktails and tacos at poolside immediately!
 Helps to have a grown up version of a lemonade stand!

 I need one of these swinging wicker chairs at home.
Within moments of arriving in Palm Springs, I knew I would enjoy this trip! Every corner was picturesque and chilled out and it was just what I needed! More photos are to come from the rest of our trip. Off to bed to rest my foot for the night and catch some quality zzz's.

Spaces

How was your weekend?  Here it rained a fair bit.  Tonight was the perfect cool evening to peruse beautiful spaces and dream of a charming new home!

Love getting a wee peek into people's homes!  I love colour and small quirky details mixed in with neutrals and warm woods all set against classic architectural bones...  Bit schizophrenic in my preferred decor!  


These are spaces that I have spotted on Pinterest over the past little while... I wish I could properly credit them all.  Please click through to find out more about the sources.

Happy Holeeeedays!

Here are random Holiday themed pics snapped around town lately. 1. vibrant display at Holt's, 2. paper garland at City of Craft, 3. gifts from A. wrapped in cute Ikea paper and 4. the sparkling Swarovski tree at the Eaton Centre.

Looks like I'm done with work for now. Looking forward to enjoying a nice break. I am dedicating tomorrow to my last minute gift crafting frenzy. I am someone that needs a deadline. I haven't done well in the stores as I have one of those annoying "I can make that..." attitudes.

Hope everyone has a wonderful Holiday!

So pretty


This is the spread at the surprise wedding of Amy Moss of the blog Eat Drink Chic. I love all the mixed flowers suspended in the bottles and the casual and rustic yet yummy and stylish looking array. It all just looks so happy! Also, I like the wooden box/tray from Canadian company, Holt Renfrew on display all the way in Melbourne, Australia!
