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.

Our series of chokers have been a huge hit! I did a few different styles for the Fall/Winter Collection and was so happy to see that you guys liked them! These are the Plush Velvet Charm Chokers. You can choose from a small heart locket or a shiny crystal pendant. It comes in 5 fabulous and luxurious colours. The black has been sold out for a few weeks, but we have just re-stocked!

National Sunday Supper Day

My family and I spend more time together than most families. Sometimes it's a lot (too much) but my family is very involved in each other's lives. Even if we have caught up during the week, we have always gathered for Sunday Family Dinner. We have done this for my whole adult life. When my Grandpa was still around, we would meet every Sunday at the same time, same table, at the same restaurant. The resto staff would hold table 1 for Old Mr. S. and pretty much boot people out of the table if they were not finished their meal before our arrival. He was one of my favourite humans ever, and I think people generally took to him. Every where we went, he would be saluted by someone he knew. We loved our Sunday dinners with our Gung Gung. After he passed in 2004, we have kept up with our Sunday dinners. We go to different places most times now and sometimes we cant make it, but it's still such a nice family tradition. This morning I heard that it was National Sunday Supper Day, a day to encourage families to sit down for a meal together. This was a national-made-up-holiday that was easy to get behind for our family! This was our meal today. 

Goodbye 2016! Hello 2017!

On this first day of a new year, I'd like to thank everyone for all the support. So happy to be able to make and share a few pretty things with you. Thank you! THANK YOU! You guys are the best!

2016 was a year that was filled with a lot of let down the world over, so many of us seemed to wrap up the year by saying goodbye and good riddance to such a year. Personally I had so many great experiences last year. Spent quality time with family and close friends, got to know some amazing new people, had a few bursts of creativity, learned some new skills, traveled to beautiful places, ate some delicious meals. I'm so lucky to have had all this, yet as we welcome 2017, I still had to remind myself of a few things. Be kind, be respectful, be grateful, give time to those that deserve it, be willing to listen, constantly learn more, and always fight for the things we believe in. (Lots of clichés, but all things I have to tell myself from time to time.)

2017 will be amazing! I just know it! Wishing you all a very happy, healthy new year filled with all good things! 💛
