How to Turn Mason Jars Into Rustic Flower Vases
I’ve always liked using clear mason jars as flower vases but lately I felt that they needed a bit of personality. Inspired by some DIY ideas on Pinterest, I thought I’d give it a try to paint my mason jars and then scratch them up to give them a rustic country look. It’s very easy and takes…

Seeing The Bright Side Of Things: My Warm Intake on Winter
For the longest time, I was convinced my parents chose the wrong country to immigrate to.

Balsam Lake
Last weekend some friends and I drove up to Baslam Lake Provincial Park to get away from the city craziness.

My New Vintage Shoes
During a recent stroll on Queen West, I dropped by the retro Rockabilly fashion store Tatyana Boutique. The boudoir decor and the Andrews Sisters playing on the sound system sure did lure me into the store, but the jaw-dropping element was certainly the dresses and shoes.
