Crawlin'

I think I may be one of the rare ones that dislikes Fall.  You can definitely feel it coming. Days are getting shorter, morning air is cool.  Today warmed up over the afternoon and turned out to be sunny and gorgeous. I really hope the warmth sticks around a bit longer! Eked out a few hours in the middle of a family day to roam around at the Queen West Art Crawl Outdoor Show & Sale, with a big tea in hand. I always enjoy this show and it was so nice to see some of my favourite people exhibiting.
Chatted with Arounna and John at Bookhou...
Watched Arounna working hard as always...
Stopped for a visit with Yasmine Louis and perused her latest tees...
Caught up with Avril Loreti, and picked out some favourites that have now been mentally added to my shopping list!
Had a great conversation with Delores of Heart & Soul about her work in stoneware.  Excited for the new things to come at Inspirations Studio.
Ogled the beautiful hand blown glass jewellery by Karli Sears.  Loved the matte pieces and subtle colour.
And last but not least had a nice chat with Natalie of Tulip+i.
Sussed out some gifts to pick up in the near future.
'Twas a lovely day in the park surrounded by creativity and sunshine!

I have been exhausted all week, still recovering from my travels, but somehow it is 1:00 am again and I find myself awake!  Better run off to catch some Zzzzs.  Busy week ahead! Goodnight friends!

Ottawa whirlwind

On the Labour Day weekend, I rolled into our nation's capital for a couple packed days.  Mr. and Mrs. B. scooped me up for a tasty meat-filled dinner and we caught up on the latest gossip.
Then we strolled up to Parliament Hill and viewed the projected show Mosaika.
Not sure if it was our angle, but it was difficult to hear the words of the audio, so we mostly just enjoyed the images.
Visited the Centennial Flame before calling it and heading back to their house.

The next morning, Mrs. B and I dined in Byward Market...
before dropping in at Workshop Studio and Boutique for a quick delivery and visit. 
Lots of new MoonRox jewels are now in at Workshop as well as sister store Flock!

In the afternoon, I met up with my family and attended the wedding of a good old family friend.  H. married his long time love and high school sweetheart.
I sported the Moonshadow Bracelet in Jade Green stacked with a Delicate Bracelet and a Crystallized Bracelet in Mint Green.  Thought it was a fun combo with this bright chartreuse dress and sparkly teal nails.  Mrs. B and I stayed up late the night before to glam up our digits. (And yes, I took this picture in the church... I tend to tune out when anything religious comes up.  I got the important parts!  It was a loving ceremony and bride and groom and whole wedding party looked great.)
Here's me and my Mom post-ceremony.  She looked super cute so had to share this!
The reception was at the Cumberland Heritage Village Museum and was charming as can be.  Surrounded by quaint buildings and the country night air, the party was fun, private and intimate.
Congrats to the happy couple!

And there went the weekend!  The following morning, we departed for a quick day back home in Toronto.  Next up was New York City!

Remembering

I just got back from New York late yesterday.  I had a fantastic visit to that amazing and vibrant city.  After dinner the other night we gazed up at the evening sky, at two beams of light emerging from where the iconic World Trade towers once stood.  Seeing the skyline without those familiar towers still leaves a pit in my stomach.  Along with the world, today I am thinking of the victims of 9/11 and their families and loved ones left behind.
