Inspired By Anastasis Apartments {Santorini, Greece}

I am lucky that I have had the pleasure if visiting the island of Santorini twice in my life. It is simply breathtaking.

I stumbled across this hotel today while reading emails for my day job, and it instantly cheered me up. I'd LOVE to transform my future backyard into a Grecian oasis, much like this one.

Take a virtual vacation to Santorini, at the Anastasis Apartments.

Love This! {Pedlars UK}

NO, I'm not sick of the "Keep Calm and Carry On" mantra that is still appearing everywhere, this time on a rug!

I'm blown away by this shop, their wares are just so different, why is it we can't have more web shops like this in Canada? There is a need for this stuff! More favorites below.....

It's a sad, SAD, day today. Domino Magazine to close.

As reported on MediaWeek,

"Condé Nast made the long-expected decision to close Domino, the publishing company's three-year-old, hip shelter magazine. The March issue will be the last. The editor and publisher, Deborah Needleman and Beth Brenner, will leave the company. Some staffers are expected to be placed elsewhere in the company."

No more website either. So sad. Sniff.

gorgeous wall wear {neawear}

I really need to pick up some knitting or a cross stitch project soon. The stresses of moving and pregnancy have me walking into walls, and I desperately need to calm down.

The following work by cross-stitcher Janick (neawear) from Montreal, is truly inspiring me. I just have to share.

Puffed Heart, $32

Teeny Hearties, $40

Moving Woes

We're moved in. Well, all our stuff is here. Ask me if anything is unpacked? NO. Why you ask? Because we're too exhausted. You see, our movers never showed up this past Saturday. No phone call, nothing. After attempting to call them well over 30 times, I finally got someone 3 hours after they were supposed to arrive, and all I got was a "I'm sorry, we're having truck problems". SO PICK UP THE PHONE AND LET US KNOW YA (*(^%%$^%$%^%&^ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!. Not impressed. Luckily, we have the best friends in the entire world, who were there within an hour to help us load the 19 foot truck best-hubby-in-the-world managed to scrounge up last minute.

A LOT of beer and Pizza later, we are moved in. Barely.

Eesh.

I'm a bit "disheveled" at the moment, and we'll be back to blogger once I can clear a space off the desk/sofa for me to sit down for a bit and actually write a decent post. Standing in the kitchen is NOT the way to do it.

Anthropologie is coming to Toronto!

Yes, you heard it correctly. I am over the moon!!!! Scheduled opening is Spring 2009 in the Yorkville area of Toronto (not sure I agree with the location).

I can't wait!!!! Now I can stop drooling on the laptop shopping online! Yay!
