As Ash packed for his business trip, I used the tooth floss in his bathroom bag to make a leaf mobile for our back door. All in all, I’m fairly pleased with it. Mobiles are whimsical. The leaf selection in our neighbourhood is good. And after tying all those leaves to the floss, [...]

My mom’s Thanksgiving table, lit by the backyard sun.
Flowers from my Grandpa.
Brunch at the Irish Heather. My new, old favourite Gastown haunt.
Stools leading to the Shebeen Whiskey House.
A study of light and absence.
Abundance.
Happy Thanksgiving! I am thankful for too much to list here, but this little guy takes the cake (don’t worry, Ash, you take the bride). I am realizing this Thanksgiving just how many wonderful children are in my life these days. It brings a magic to every holiday and a reason to [...]

The great thing about having a regular event like champagne wednesdays in our life is that sometimes people want to share it with us. People like the Crooks (Christina, I stole this picture from your blog).
Michael and Christina - a creative, smart, engaged couple we like spending time with - had us over last night for dinner. They even popped [...]

Don’t ask how I found this article. How does anyone find anything on the internet these days but by strolling around with their jeans rolled up, wading ever deeper into some endless grade of ocean, while never quite getting in over their heads? I found this article and it struck me hard as exactly what I’d want to see if I [...]

Having always wanted to be a gypsy myself, I gave one to my fiance for his 30th birthday.
Given that all Greek restaurants have the same exact menu, it’s hard to imagine that one place could be so above the others in terms of food quality. But if you’re a Vancouver-based reader, please believe me, Pasparos [...]

Not to mention, flowering tree on red:
Out of New York come the prettiest things.
Wouldn’t these make great Christmas gifts? See more like this here by Oktak.
PS: Greek Fest photos still to come. My sister and I couldn’t make it upstairs for the download.
PPS: I just had to mention Pears on Gray:

Pumpkin Muffins…check.
Vegetarian chili…check.
Hang-over that makes Ash say things like, “I want to pass away”…unintended, but check.
I think my work here is done.
At least for a Monday.
Will have some pictures of this weekend for you soon. In the meantime, here’s the Pumpkin Muffin recipe. Fall is so delicious.
WHOLE WHEAT PUMPKIN MUFFINS

I think Canada would be comfortable up there in parentheses, don’t you? Shielded on either side from the lunacy of American Politics, hob-nobbing with the French and such.
This photo with the baguette made me laugh in a really pleasant way. I found it here - and then followed the trail to a solemn New York Times piece here. The article outlined the advice of a [...]

I had to share these last pictures from our weekend. Let me introduce you to “the nest.” It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t admit that the nest, as a whole, was rather lackluster. Sure, the pillows weren’t spotlessly clean and no, the sheets weren’t totally dry…
