Well I have to share some of the fantastic items at Kitchen Stuff Plus (KSP) which a lot of people know about. They have a wide array of kitchen/dining products from everyday to party. They also have bath products and so many little gadgets you will go crazy wandering through this great store. I am attaching some photos below of the kitchen/dining products in this post. I will share the other products in a future post. They carry high end end pieces like Staub Cookware, Henckels & Zwilling Knives at great price points. You can even purchase dining tables and chairs, a lovely bar with storage and all the linens you would need. I could go on about the many fabulous products but you really should take some time to visit this store at one of their many locations.

CHECKING OUT THE STORES AT RIOCAN PLAZA ON BURLOAK
Well now that I am a little settled in our temporary home I have some stores to visit to see the fall goodies. I will need to show some self control considering the huge amount of 'stuff' we had loaded into the moving truck. It never hurts to just look. I am also returning to the Oakville Trafalgar Memorial Hospital as a volunteer in the Gift Shop this week. It will take a lot of self control not to spend there as they have the absolutely most amazing merchandise.
Well back to a little 'browsing', this time at Urban Barn. Love this store. They always have the most up to date products and great value for your money. I have a few photos of some of their merchandise and I know you will love it. As we enter fall and soon winter we think cozy and they definitely have cozy. One of the dominant colours was cognac which does give a feeling of cooler weather coming and the need to be cozy. Its a nice warm colour. We also see a lot of grey which has been around for years but we love it as a warm neutral. Urban Barn has such a vast array of unique decor items you want them all.

Starting a new chapter!!
Well Its been a couple of years since my last post. I had a lot going on during that time. I simplified my business, had a total shoulder replacement, became a volunteer at our local hospital, sold my home, learned to live safely during this pandemic and became a gramma!!
Now that we are embarking on our 3rd chapter I have decided to resurrect my blog and incorporate parts of my former website which no longer exists.
I don't get out too much to events and showrooms, obviously, however I am keeping up via social media, magazines and home design shows on TV. I had to do something to fill the gap during this time. Having sold my home we are currently looking for a new place in a new town. We are living in a hotel at present. When I find it I will share here.
This move was horrendous being that we had been in this house for 25 years. One surely does accumulate a lot of stuff. We donated to donation centres, rented a large bin for the driveway to dispose of stuff, went to the dump, sold some things and still required 5 men and a 53' moving van. We had Bronte Movers do our move and they are amazing and so organized. The 5 men they sent to our home were the best I have ever dealt with and back in my early days we moved a lot so I know good movers. When our belongings were on the truck ready for storage I realized I would have to get rid of more when we finally move into our new home and start unpacking. I will be donating much more!
Bye for now. Will return soon!

Pantonne Colour of the Year for 2017
PANTONE 15-0343. A refreshing and revitalizing shade, Greenery is symbolic of new beginnings. Greenery is a fresh and zesty yellow-green shade that evokes the first days of spring when nature's greens revive, restore and renew.
Welcome to 2017
We are now approaching spring and winter has sent us one of it's biggest snowfalls of the season.
This past weekend my husband and I drove to Belleville to pick up a special dog we had selected from a Rescue Organization that takes dogs from puppy mills in Ohio and finds them good homes. We were in love with her immediately.
