Design Idea's

A lot of big changes have been happening in my life. I am officially going to be on my own for the first time in three years. Parkdale here I come, I've missed you! After living with my sweetheart for the past three years I am going to have to settle for a very quaint Bachelor. My quest for you is to see if you have any design ideas to maximize small space and increase storage in my tiny little apartment. Things change and I am very excited to start this new chapter of my life.

Dear Blog.. I'm sorry.

What a crazy couple of weeks it has been. I keep thinking to myself "Damn I really need to write a new post" and seeing as I cannot find my camera after my big move it kept getting pushed aside. Let me tell you moving from the wonderful little community of Parkdale to "condoland" had been quite the change. I am just so fortunate to still be able to work in the west end which will always make me feel at home. However I await with anticipation the usual post-moving trip to ikea for the basics as well as the trip to the antique market for the bigger stuff. There is lots of nifty projects I have up my sleeve that I am excited to share once I settle in so keep your eye out! But for now enjoy this little posie I made in a tiny little jam jar with eucalyptus, thistle, queen anne's lace and hydrangea. Yum!

Antique Cycling

As an avid cyclist (still riding in the snow) and an antique hunter I was blown away by this amazing find. This stunning cruiser was made out of bamboo from top to bottom from the chain guard to the fenders to the woven bamboo seat. It was just stunning! How nice it is to simply walk to the end of my street and be able to go antiquen' untill I drop. Oh do I love Parkdale!
