Friday at Riders

On Friday I was supposed to go to a supplier and pick up some beads and what-nots, but on my way there, I realized they closed early on Fridays so instead, I stopped in for a visit at Riders.

Artwork by Yehudah and bikes for sale and bikes in for service.

Todd de Koker work on exhibit

Nice tin ceiling cash desk and paintings by Elicser on the wall.

Gran was not feeling up to lunch today, so I am going to make use of the time and work work work to make up for loafing off on Friday. Hope everyone is having a nice weekend.

Yorkville stroll

Yesterday I hit the high-end boutiques on Bloor Street with N. and her 3 year old daughter. I think people probably thought I was her nanny. Anyhow, after we parted ways, I ran a couple errands and then snuck into Anthroplogie to see what was new and see things that are not as much as a mortgage payment. This shift in seasons really makes me want new things. Tried on these pretties. My fave was the We Love Vera number on the left. I do have a liking for things from Vera Neumann which I'm guessing would now come from the Vera Company. I've collected numerous table cloths, napkins and scarves over the years. Perhaps I'll have to post about those one day.

Back to late night bracelet making! Hope everyone is swell!

Looks like the nice Spring weather is coming back this week after a rainy rinse. I hope it sticks around for good! I saw some tulip leaves peeking above ground today. That is a sure sign of Spring! I'm already enjoying the Spring forward hours. Love the longer days!

Orchid

My orchid from D. and E.'s wedding celebration is in bloom! It's blooming upside down, hence the wonky angles in these photos. Orchids sure are beautiful flowers! It's another sunny day here, but I have been indoors sniffling and sneezing!

MoonRox en route to The Netherlands!

I recently sent off a selection of jewels to Rotterdam! How exciting! The shop is called House of Jewelry. The MoonRox pieces should arrive in 8-10 days, but I wanted to share right away! Some pieces traveling over right now include the square and round Capture Bracelets with Lockets pictured above. I also sent a group of necklaces and earrings including these Rose Quartz Earrings with Tiny Heart Lockets.

Admiring McQueen

I have been flipping through the 12 looks of Alexander McQueen's final collection on the Cut, New York Magazine's fashion blog.

What amazing construction and beautiful ornate details. Such a huge talent and a huge loss.

Roaming in the sun

We've had glorious weather lately and I'm really hoping that it's not all a trick and that Spring really is coming. I have spent many hours roaming around, happily running errands and hanging with friends and fam over the past week of super sunshiney days. I cannot get enough sun!The other day, Aunt L. and I checked out a couple galleries and had a nice afternoon in general. We saw the Doris McCarthy show at Wynick Tuck Gallery at 401 Richmond. Aunt L. is a big McCarthy fan.
We also checked out a couple places in Yorkville, including Mira Godard Gallery where we saw the Alex Colville Show as well as some amazing wood block prints by Mary Pratt (see two prints above), Chuck Close and Takao Tanabe. Aunt L. picked up a Tanabe for her collection.

In the evening I went to the opening at Riders. I didn't manage to get too many good photos there, but I really like this one of their cool old cash register.

Saw Gran on Sunday and then watched the Oscars, which in hindsight I could have skipped. Yesterday, I caught up with A. and S. in Kensington and sat on a patio basking in the warm sun. Then, I decided to be responsible and chose to get back to work instead of moving on to the next patio. As soon as I came home, I was hit with a cold. Bugger... ran myself ragged. I found myself soldering bracelets at 2 a.m. last night!? Must change my habits!

See cute stuff

I was busy wishing we had a Target store here, so I could shop the Liberty of London for Target line when it soon launches. Then, I went on to peruse the Liberty site and found and all this niceness which comes from a collaboration between Merci (of Paris) and Liberty of London.

I also came across these cuties... the crab is fantastic!
