Today I [heart] – The Farm

Monday, January 25th, 2010

I have a mini fascination with farms and life on a country side. I’d like to imagine that it’s a very relaxed, slow pace lifestyle without cell phones, internet, traffic, and general craziness of the city. Although, I’d be unable to survive on a farm without the internet… So, I’m imagining my farm with the internet! While I’m getting more into whole foods, organics, and watching all the chemicals consumed with food, farms come up more often. I’m turning into a modern day ‘hippie wanna-be’ and supporting local farmers and their hard work to produce good food! I think there are significant changes on the horizon from mass produced, tasteless, chemical filled greens and meats to healthier, better quietly ones. Come on Canada, you can do it! The inspiration for this post came from books on food, documentaries, and a new season of Project Runway : ). Potato sack cocktail dress anyone?

Today I [heart] – Snowflakes

Monday, December 7th, 2009

It still counts as a Monday post if it’s before midnight! Yay, unwritten rules! I’ve been slightly busy running around today in the first official snowy day! Flurries have definitely drifted by me in all their prettiness and coldness. They were the inspiration for today,  slowly getting into the holiday mood!

Wall Art

Friday, October 2nd, 2009

Another day, another… rain!?! Come on Toronto, stop raining! First you don’t give us any summer, and now you keep us locked indoors with all this miserable cold rain…  But this wet weather does put me into a crafty, artsy mood and I finally got around to framing a few photographs for the walls. I’m more of the ‘bright colour’ wall type of a girl, so photos don’t usually go so well. Plus, who wants to look at their own work all day long. Well, apparently my parents are my biggest fans and now my photos are everywhere. Good thing they are not of me! All the photos are from Trains to Mars…, my ongoing photoblog project that was started in Japan. Having a lot of photos in the archives is good for the walls but bad for trying to make coffee table books in a timely manner, which is my next project. Years of photos, here I come!!!  Back to the photos on the walls, they look pretty me thinks! Some could use better frames and new couches, but here is what it looks like for now. Pst, wide angle lens and glare are not the greatest for taking pictures of pictures, sorry. Oh, and I also bought these cute frame stickers that are now above my bed. Yes, I have pale green walls and I love it!
