Feelng all xmassy!

Lately I've been feeling all xmassy! I love xmas and this year I've wasted no time getting into the spirit and prepping the house since we'll be away most of December. We purchased a smaller tree last weekend, put our wreath on our door, decorated with some wooden ornaments and I also bought some cabin socks just cause it's cold outside.

Happy almost Wednesday :) 

We finally have a wall gallery!!!

I love wall galleries. I love the interest they add to a space and I always like to take my time to look at all of the pictures. I personally like wall galleries with a mix of frames and art (pictures, paintings, postcards, anything that has meaning and is worth displaying). I have been meaning to put up a wall gallery in our place for well over a year now. Here are a couple of pics that I used for inspiration:

Maybe I'm just slow but it took a while for me to collect frames. I got many of  the frames I used from my mom when she moved and cleared a lot of her stuff. I also took my time to collect art. I ordered a few prints off Etsy and bought some postcards when travelling. I have some faves from our Vancouver days (the fiance lived there for about two years), engagement pics and also from travels to Europe in 2011 so I framed those. Once I had enough frames to start I laid them out on the floor and arranged and rearranged them. 

Next was putting them up on the wall. 

Here's our wall gallery which I love! It's not yet complete but it'll do for now. It already seems to be a conversation piece for visitors which is why I love them so much. 

Happy long weekend :)

Weekend Food Diaries

This past weekend was one of those great food weekends. I ate some treats like funnel cake, that I enjoy maybe once a year. I also checked out the new Park Junction Hotel where I discovered some awesome appetizers and a really tasty mojito (my fave drink). I also did some cooking at home with the bf and snacked on my favourite coronation grapes :) 

Hope you all had a good weekend :) 

Farmer's Market Baskets

Loving these farmer's market baskets from Anthropologie that come in various colours and sizes. They are perfect for the upcoming spring and summer months and are great for entertaining.  What do you think?
