Spring Planting

Spring Planting

A few weekends ago we did some planting and re-potting and freshening up of everything. I meant to post about this earlier, along with a few other things, but I've been soaking up every park visit and evening dinner picnic we can get, and making mental notes and random notes on all the things I'm supposed to write about.

Caleb Adventures at the Hideaway Park

I've always loved discovering different neighbourhoods in Toronto, especially because I didn't grow up here - everything's always seemed so new and exciting to me.

Adventures in Kingston

Adventures in Kingston

We were in Kingston for the weekend! We drove up to the city where Jon and I first met, and where I certainly had many formative experiences in university. Kingston is about a two hour drive from Toronto, so not a place we visit very often, but it's a beautiful place to live in or to visit.

It's Friday! And to celebrate (so late at night especially), I thought I would share a few photos from our last trip to the supermarket.

New Calligraphy Classes Coming Up

New Calligraphy Classes Coming Up

I'm so excited to share with you a few new calligraphy classes! We are certainly keeping busy around here. Maybe it's the spring, but I've always enjoyed playing around with flex nibs and dip pens, and what better time than this new season to freshen up.

Thoughts on Three Years in the Pen Business

Thoughts on Three Years in the Pen Business

As what seems to usually be the case, I'm writing my blog with the baby-who-is-now-a-toddler snoring in his crib, and the dog snoring on the couch, and the big cheese snoring on the bed after a few glasses of wine.
