Another day, another pie! Since I’m on vacation

Another day, another pie! Since I’m on vacation in Saskatchewan, I’ve been baking a few favourite recipes - this one I learned how to make when I lived in Switzerland. It’s an apricot & custard tart with walnuts. I’m thinking of making grasshopper 🦗pie next - have you ever heard of it? FYI, there are NO actual grasshoppers in a grasshopper pie!😆 #piesbeforeguys

A weekend well spent in Saskatoon: stayed at the @deltabessyxe, visited the @remaimodern, enjoyed craft cocktails and live music @blackfox_farm, shared @darksidedonuts with my Aunt & Uncle and cousins, went for a lovely walk with @snaxia and checked out the Saskatchewan British Car Club’s vintage cars.

My parents celebrated their 50th anniversary yeste

My parents celebrated their 50th anniversary yesterday. I was in charge of decorating and the table setting. It was so great to see my family again! My 90-year old Grandma was there and my Aunt & Uncle who also celebrated their 50th anniversary last month. Only my brother and his family were missing. I’m thankful that we were able to gather around a delicious meal to honour my parent’s love and commitment. May they have many more years together!🥂 #50thanniversary

“House it going?” This is my personal protest

“House it going?” This is my personal protest photo for your feed in light of the new developments Instagram will be imposing on us (more reels and longer video content, in a bid to compete with TikTok & YouTube). As someone who trained as a professional photographer, this is a sad change for me to the platform that was meant as a photo-sharing space. I find videos and reels become overwhelming in my feed and I tend to pause while scrolling when I see a gorgeous image that evokes emotion - a bit like when you’re strolling through an art gallery and suddenly stop to take in a particular piece of art that moves you or causes you to stop and reflect instead of just breezing by. Please, do keep sharing your glorious photos and continue supporting the creative people you follow for their thoughtful imagery! #carriescarriagehouse

Since Montreal was designated a green zone on Mond

Since Montreal was designated a green zone on Monday, I’ve been going out a lot more and enjoying the more relaxed rules & restrictions. Last night, I even danced! I was invited to experience @jardinmtl, the new outdoor venue which is hosting all kinds of public events this summer: comedy, concerts, movies (July 14th they will be screening Dirty Dancing!), family nights, supper clubs. It’s a lush space full of surprises.🌿Visit their website for the summer schedule: JardinMtl.com🌿 #MediaInvite #JardinMTL #outsideisthenewinside

Happy #saintjeanbaptiste Day!⚜️Wear something blue and support your favourite Quebec businesses. I made myself a cocktail for the #fetenationaleduquebec thanks to @invasioncocktail who sent me a bottle of Qc maple whisky @sapfiftysix and the fresh mix. See how I made it in my Stories. Bonne Saint-Jean!⚜️ #qccocktails #mtlcocktails #bonnestjean #littlebluedress #girlycocktails #quebecwhisky #fancydrinks #cocktailparty #cocktaildress #calvinkleindress #invasioncocktail #sap56 #sapfiftysix #montrealstyle #mtlstyle #carriescarriagehouse

The perfect pairing for Fish & Chips? Why, a Gin &

The perfect pairing for Fish & Chips? Why, a Gin & Tonic, of course! Make it @beefeatergin, the world’s most awarded gin, for a perfectly British summer soirée. Beefeater is a nickname that was given to the Yeomen Warders, ceremonial guards responsible for guarding the Tower of London and the British Crown Jewels. As you can see, Dapper is being my Beefeater as he is faithfully guarding my @britandchips while I sip my pre-dinner G&T. While Actaeon is guarding my bottle of Beefeater Pink, their strawberry-flavoured gin. Cheers!🍸
(Please enjoy Beefeater responsibly!)
