fourteen - Surfing USA

With my last exam looming not too far off I can officially let myself start thinking about summer. Here are some shots from last summer of surfing in Montauk with my family. Now we didn't catch the biggest waves, but hey, it was our first time. If you ever go I recommend the 'ditchwitch sandwich' - it is A-MA-ZING.

thirteen - spring?

April 27th and there is snow on the ground. Yesterday it was +20 celcius and today there is snow falling. all. day. long. Only in Montreal eh?

twelve - Canadian Cookbook

My mum and I went to the local library's book sale and she found "The Laura Secord Canadian Cook Book" published in 1966.

Fun fact: Canada only adopted the Canadian flag in 1965

eleven - rainbows

April showers bring rainbow lovers

ten - Modern European History

I have now entered exam period and currently have European history swirling around my brain and, so in hopes of maintaining regular updates to this blog, here are some of my photos as a testement to the wonderful cities of Europe

Hillerod, Denmark

Stockholm, Sweden

Paris, France


Berlin, Germany

nine - suitcases

I think I have a growing obsession with old suitcases. I now own three.
I am too excited about my new purchases to put up a better quality photo, so here you go:
I found them at this wonderful vintage store on St. Laurent, Montreal (also where I happened to buy the other suitcase I own, which has flowers all over it). In addition to these suitcases I bought a 'Hawaiian swing' record and some sunglasses.

Time to get ready for summer!

eight - old ladies

I hope that when I get old, my sister and I are as cute as this:

seven - snapshots II

Some more snapshots of my sightings around town

Pretty blue coat, sadly the girl was walking too fast for me to stealthily capture the rest of her look

Yes, that is a unicyclist. in winter.

Is there such a thing as too much orange? perhaps...

Wonderfully stylish woman. She belongs in Paris. (please ignore the man next to her).

six - cut and paste

Some good old fashioned cut-and-paste fun with photos





and just a little favourite of mine: air-mail envelopes sealed with a kiss
