Fast Forward To Colour: Saturday Inspirations

So my mom and I had the best Saturday. No really, I recall me saying over and over "This is the best day!" Maybe it's because I haven't seen her in awhile, maybe it's because we were doing something slightly out of the ordinary, either way - it was a blast!

We started out at around 1 pm and drove down to 124th Street. There are so many adorable and boutique style shops down in that area and we spent a couple hours wandering up and down alleys and old staircases discovering the ins and outs of the heart of that community.

Some of my favourites:

Provisions by Duchess Bakery - so many wonderful baking items, I had to pick up some Vanilla beans and brown sugar... oh yes - and a cookie cutter shaped like the Eiffel Tower!

The Pear Tree - an absolutely gorgeous coat hooked itself to my arm and begged me to take it home. Thankfully my wonderful mother granted its wish for my birthday.

The Tin Box - Hubbers gets a cute Valentines present and Mom and I get to enjoy a half hour perusing beautiful household items.

Paddy's International Cheese Market Ltd. - Picked up some 'Four pepper goat cheese' for snacks and 'Cave Aged Gruyere' for an upcoming wine and cheese night. There's something about purchasing cheese from a 'Market' that makes you believe in the joys of fine foods.

So many inspiring and creative ideas abound here - I can't wait to go back!
