Lusting

Today I thought I’d share some hats, negligee and lingerie I have been lusting over for the passed, I dunno, too long. I hope to one day just be an old lady with an abundance of hats and negligee that I no longer have any real use for, but that just sit covering my home like pieces of artwork.

I just recently bought some vintage pillowcases to fulfil this old lady desire of mine. They reminded me greatly of Grandparents’ homes with mismatched eyelet and lace pillowcases just covering the bed, and I thought, yes, I must have these. I promptly told Matt of my purchase and he was not as thrilled as I. I guess the idea of placing his head on used pillowcases is not that appealing…I, however, am eagerly awaiting their arrival.

With no snow on the ground, it means a lot more time spent at the park with Gus, and less time watching him lose the ability to use his wee legs and tip over like he has been paralysed. Since his surgery, it’s really been difficult getting him back into the swing of things. He was a dog who absolutely loved off-leash parks and playing with other pups. But after his surgery (and once the snow was gone), he just seemed so timid. He’d stick by my legs and was not the Blitzing Bichon that we all know and love. Thankfully, with Matt having some time off work, he’s been a great papa and brings him to the park almost daily. I got to see him live in action this weekend just sprinting around the park, and I couldn’t have been more pleased.

Despite the cold on Saturday we spent some time letting Gus do his thing, and letting me be silly for the camera. It was probably the worst day to be wearing a hat (wind!!!), but well, we know how I feel about hats as of late. The wind will not thwart my efforts to be a hatted dame.

The weather is…warm?! Rainy, but relatively warm, and this got my brain dreaming up outfits that were jacket-less and sweater-less and ignorant of the reality that is my wallet. I go through phases of obsessing over certain types of clothing (sleepwear!!!), and right now I’m obsessing over items to go on me noggin (no, not you beret, goodbye, I don’t want to see you again for a long time!). Having long hair makes wearing things on your head fun! When I had short hair, everything felt overwhelming on my skull, but no more!

Allan Gardens Conservatory

This endless Winter is starting to feel like a cruel joke to most of us, and Alex and I (and Lindsay) spent Saturday afternoon faking Spring the only way we know how – Allan Gardens Conservatory. Wandering around coveting all the succulents, and being surrounded by green did a lot to improve our moods.

Lindsay and I spent most of the weekend together, baking snickerdoodles, cooking quinoa dishes, going to really intense Pilates classes, browsing the Junction Flea and hiking with our dogs. By Sunday evening it was hard for me to feel anything but perfectly content with the weekend.

Now it’s back to the old day job. Last week’s listings will be up late tonight. Sorry for all the tardiness.

Hope everyone had equally cheerful weekends !
