a day at the farm

On the weekend, we headed out to the country, the Westham Island Herb Farm to be exact, to check out their 7th annual “A Day at the Farm” event. The highlight for me was seeing the shaggy cow... I mean, just look at him... he’s such a cutie. I would want to just brush its hair for hours. Due to it’s large size though, I think little Jasper preferred looking at the goats a lot better. Bleet.

funny faces

I spotted these funny faces on some telephone poles (to the delight of little Jasper) during one of our stroller walks in our neighbourhood. There were tons of them, actually. I like finding art in unexpected places (well, I am hoping it is art and not some weird viral marketing campaign)... I kind of wish I knew who made these. The tags were intentionally blank, but I took one anyways... it's like they wanted me to take one. 

food paparazzi

This past week, Roger and I celebrated our anniversary (6 years)... which meant date night... hooray! So, during our meal, I became one of those people who takes pictures of their meals with their phone... yes, you know you've seen them, or have been one... but really, I couldn't resist. My sushi looked really yummy, so in my mind, worth sharing. Part two of our anniversary date night continues this week when we head out to see Jerry Seinfeld live! Exciting!

wheeeeeeee!

We went to the local summer fair a few days ago (the PNE) and had a super time. Little Jasper got to go on his first rides - the carousel and the mini train, and I ate enough mini donuts to not touch them again until next year’s fair. Hmmm... also learned to never give a 2 year old a bite of sugared mini donut before getting into the car (wheeeee, indeed). No big rides for us this year though... I think I enjoy viewing them much more from the ground for now... well, until Jasper is old enough to drag us on them anyways. :)

good morning, hello and hi

Good morning, hello and hi! A little splash of pink in a cheery print for the start of this week. This one is the magenta version of my Hi print... one of a few colour selections (yes, that is me being a bit indecisive). See some more of the colours here. :)

pick me pick me

After waiting for what seems like forever, one red tomato on our little plant was finally ready to be picked. And now the waiting game for the others continues... hmmm... maybe if I stop looking and checking on them they will ripen faster... one can hope, anyways.

link to the great outdoors

A bit of a blog break last week, and now I am back online! And what better way to start the week than to have a show-and-tell day. After showing you a sneak peek of some new cufflink designs a few weeks ago, here are some pictures of a few of the final designs (yes, finally!). Here are some of my woodland themed ones. Will post more soon!
