Last day in the City

Actions speak louder than words, the chalking of kids with restless minds. Chalks such a good medium!

This is a cute as hell cafe on Dundas owned by the guys who run Saving Grace.  Subtle attention to detail and some sweet jazz make me want to sit in here all day watching the world go buy, oh and they make a mean avocado sarni. Dig it

Public art on ugly walls, whats a great way to take attention away form an ugly building site,

Little babes in Big Coats -  Dig it

And this, well, this is my world right now, and it does not get much better. Coffee, cameras, and all the hours you could ask for. From here on in, we are heading to Montreal for 5 days. 

Get house proud

Here are a bunch of photos from Jessica and Alex's house. These ladies as Crafties (an elite of supremely rad ladies who make cool shit, i should hook that shit up to wikipedia)  know who to make a place a home. The whole place was laced with amazing hand air brushed animals and ornaments of various eras. I think i had a bit of a crush on it. And not to mention Gus, the french bulldog. Total hunk.

Weather its that Canadian housing associations and landlords give tenants a lot more freedom, or people reside in their properties longer I'm not sure. But each house i end up in feel like a home, these guys make the most of their spaces and don't tend to treat them like half way houses because they are renting (like in the UK). Being house proud is a cute quality in people here, and given the current economic climate, i cant see any of us owning shit for some time. Embrace the space.
