Wonderful Wednesday!

Wednesday, June 12, 2013

Today is wonderful because yesterday the kid and I went down to spend some time with my mom for her 82nd birthday.  We all had a great time.  A little lunch, a little wine and a little shopping on the Danforth.

Now I have to mention last Wednesday when I had a chance to spend the day with my the boy's better half and my beautiful grandbaby.

So as you can see we had a great day.
 
Now I have to mention that this weekend is the "Taste of Italy".  We go every year.  Lots of great food, wine and music.  Hope to see you there!  More details are available online. Try to get there early though because parking is a nightmare. 
 
Until later...

Marvellous Monday!

Monday, June 3, 2013

Why "Marvellous Monday"?

Well I accomplished some more projects around the house this weekend.  Also, the weather is nice and cool so I can have the windows open and let in some much needed fresh air.

After giving the front door a good cleaning I decided that my year-round wreath needed an "upgrade".  I had seen a beautiful wreath decorated with lemons online and decided that's what I wanted for my front door to give it a fresh new look. So I went to "Michael's" and bought the pieces that I needed.  It didn't take me long to complete because I can't put a very large wreath on my door due to the screen door in front.  I would love nothing more than to put up a huge, elaborate one but no can do.

I enjoyed it so much that I plan to make more (for each season and holiday).


 
My Finished Project
 
 
Now on another note.
 
Besides the "gluten free" fair that's happening this Saturday, June 8th there is also "Doggie Jam" going on at Echo Beach in Toronto at 909 Lakeshore Rd. W. starting at 4 pm.  Entertainment includes a 45 pc. orchestra and should be a good time for people of all ages including their beloved canines.
 
DEAL OF THE WEEK
 
There are some great deals going on right now.
 
"Ardenes" at Dixie Value Mall has an 80% off sale going on right now.  The kid, hubby and I went to check it out and came home with some great bargains.  I wished I had waited for this sale to buy my sandals.  I could have saved a fortune.  I still bought some comfortable and gorgeous sandals for $2.70!!!  The kid got a bag of loot for under $20.00!Get there quickly before everything is gone.
 
Looking so forward to seeing my grandbaby and the boy's better-half this Wednesday but in the meantime have to get back to my "projects".  In a few weeks hubby and I are off to Las Vegas for some much needed "alone" time so I'd like to get as much completed around the house as possible before leaving on our trip. I'll keep you posted.
 
Everyone have a great week!
 
Until later...
