My head has been overflowing with ideas lately for the blog. From posts I want to do to changes that I would like to make to the overall look and structure of it. This is a good thing! There have been times in the past year when I have felt overwhelmed and a little discouraged by blogging. There were many nights after extremely long weeks when I would open my computer at 10 o’clock at night and wonder what I was going to post about. Not so anymore! Anyways here is a little of my past week.
We took a visit down to The Distillery District in Toronto on the weekend. The Soma Chocolate store is my idea of heaven on earth. I can never decide what to buy because I want it all!
Sunday was marked with a visit to the Junction Flea and an excursion to Value Village. Above is my haul from the two locations.
On Monday I visited L’Ouvrier restaurant to interview designer Courtney Wotherspoon. I’ll have that post for you in the coming weeks.
A moment of quietness. Orla toes.
Finally this delicious Winter Chicken dish I made from Nigel Slater’s Appetite book. I had so many people ask my about this recipe (I couldn’t find one online) that I will make it for the blog in the coming weeks.
Enjoy your weekend!

Just want to say how inspiring is your blog. Thank you for the time and joy you give us.
Mmm, that dish does look delicious! And I understand completely the feeling of being at a loss of words and ideas for the blog! Glad to hear don’t feel that way anymore!
Love your blog – just a word of caution about thrifting.
We are incredibly careful about what we bring into our home – and yet, we discovered last week that what I thought was an allergy (itchy rash on my face/neck/back) is indeed an allergy to bed bugs! Nothing beats waking up to your husband gently informing you that the bed is infested with bedbugs – and OMG – talk about turning your life upside-down! Lovely home decor obliterated by masses of garbage bags filled with possessions that have or need to be cleaned.
Biggest culprits – used items from thrift stores – bedbugs are super-bugs; they can go without feeding for more than a year and they love cracks – in wood, in fabric, in books – they can live in a space thin enough for a credit card! They are nasty, and I never, ever, want to deal with this problem again.
Like I say, we never imagined it as we are hyper-careful about what we bring home, do not wear shoes in the house and live in a very clean, minimalist way – not lots of clutter, etc. – and still!
Just saying………
