Toronto Light Festival

I don't get to see my friend A. often enough these days. Life seems to be so hectic for everyone! So we were happy to meet up for a good old fashioned day of Random Adventure. In the past, this has often turned into a bit of day drinking, so after running around doing a few errands together, we met up with I. and found a spot to grab an early dinner and a couple drinks. Warmed with soup in our bellies, we headed to the Distillery District to check out the Toronto Light Festival! It's a new event to the city and we were all pretty excited to check it out. Sometimes events are at their best in their inaugural year... *ahem* Nuit Blanche. We had a great time touring around. It was a warmer weeknight evening before the recent snow had hit this town, so it was ideal for this outing. Not too cold and not too busy! We especially loved the interactive pieces and I am always a fan of neon and colour, so this was right up my alley. Here are some snapshots from our visit. Check it out if you have a chance! #TOLightFest is on until March 12.

Have a great long weekend!

I heard the air show planes zoom by this morning... it's now officially the Labour Day long weekend! August was a stressful month and to be honest I am happy to see it end. I could hang on to the August temps though!

Some orders are traveling across the country now. I'm feeling a small amount of relief and accomplishment having got some of them shipped out. Now I am looking forward to a relaxing long weekend... might do a tiny amount of work!

Here are some random phone pics taken over the past couple months...

Great spot above the busy streets.

Happy Labour Day weekend!

Distillery visit

The other day, my parents and I had a nice lunch at the Mill St. Brewery in the Distillery District. We followed lunch with a little poke around at Bergo and some other shops. It was a freezing cold day and there were not many people around, but I love the history of the area. Here are a few snap shots!
