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!

Happy Mother's Day

Just minutes remaining of Mother's Day here... Hope it was a wonderful day for all the mamas I know and love, especially my own!

Check her out in back in the day... Super cute on the left of both photos with her parents and younger sister, my Aunt L.  The larger photo was taken the day she left Hong Kong, as a brave teenager leaving her family behind and making the long trip to Canada.  (They would follow a couple years later.)

Happy Mother's Day!

Happy Mother's Day

I hope all Moms enjoyed a nice day today, especially my Mom!

Here we are, her two girls, back in the day with strawberries from the yard and George.

Dearest Mother

Have you got your Mother's Day gift yet? If you live in Canada, there is still a bit of time! Orders in by Thursday, May 8th at 11 am E.S.T. can make it by Friday! No absolute guarantees, but I will do my very best and ensure to send them out by Thursday afternoon by next day service and it'll be in the hands of Canada Post. Go to the MoonRox Etsy Shop to check out the goods! An extra special Mom's Day gift is the "Dearest Mother" Token Necklace. It combines a vintage brass token, a few semi-precious stones and a tiny brass heart on an 18" brass chain. I can do other colour combos, just just pop me a note at info[at]moonrox[dot]ca or convo me through the Etsy Shop.
