A little pit stop for a romantic stroll at the Sac

A little pit stop for a romantic stroll at the Sackville Waterfowl Park in New Brunswick. We have to plan these breaks since we are travelling with our two small dogs. They appreciate it and it’s a great way to see some unique places along the way on our road trip to Newfoundland. @dapperschnauzer and Mary, Queen of Scots are having the best time because they love water and ducks! 🦆

A Brexton picnic hamper to commemorate the coronat

A Brexton picnic hamper to commemorate the coronation of Queen Elizabeth II! I couldn’t believe my luck when I came across this complete vintage picnic set on Marketplace. Finding one of these sets with all its pieces still intact is already like finding a unicorn but this one is even more rare because it was designed to honour the Queen’s coronation in 1953. Swipe through to see how much I paid for it and how excited I am to add it to my collection (this being my third Brexton picnic basket). 🧺👑

A must for all your beauty needs. (They even have an in-house chiropractor @cliniquevitalis ) Thanks @champagnejane.ca for the invite 🫶🏻

How it’s going vs how it started: back in Februa

How it’s going vs how it started: back in February, @jesuisunenfantterrible_ invited me to their original restaurant on Bernard to try their Valentine’s menu with a guest and I decided to invite my crush, Chris. Five months later, we went back to Les Enfants Terribles on Bernard in Outremont to try their summer menu on their terrace while celebrating our 5-month anniversary at the same time. Both experiences were truly memorable and I thank my @jesuisunenfantterrible_ family for playing such a large part in our love story. Cheers to many more anniversaries at your restaurants!

Had an unusual and magical evening with @hendricksgin last night at @lagranderouedemontreal with my guy. We tried three different cocktails with the original Hendricks gin and the new Grand Cabaret gin. We also played cucumber croquet, had our caricatures done and ended the evening with a spin on the Ferris wheel! A truly magical soirée! (Invite)

Spoiled like a Persian princess at @maisoninja - the charming new downtown restaurant next to @cafeaunja (and run by the same lovely couple). During a food blogger event, we tried so many flavourful and unique dishes that I felt like I had traveled to the Middle East via these culinary creations. From the starters or “Mazzeh” to the main courses of lentil & date tahchin, to eggplant dolmeh and grilled lamb, there is something for everyone’s tastes and food restrictions. I particularly loved the sumac-infused tahchin rice and the house-blend tea with cumin and cinnamon to complement the dessert. A must if you are looking for a traditional Persian home-cooked meal experience!

Last Friday, @fitzmontrealtours launched their first Montreal Street Art tour and I was invited to try it out! The two-hour tour on sleek and comfy e-bikes is offered Thursday-Saturday and gives you an incredible overview of Montreal’s stunning street art scene. An expert guide takes you through some of the most charming streets and green alleyways to give you the low-down on the murals and art dotted across the city. Created by both local and international street artists, these murals make for an amazing open-air gallery experience. You’ll learn insider information about the artists and their work, plus see the city in an entirely unique way. This is an activity I highly recommend for both tourists and Montrealers alike this summer!

Tonight I had a divine time at one of the @festiva

Tonight I had a divine time at one of the @festivalclassica concerts. The venue was spectacular and the concert exquisite! A complete choir and philharmonic orchestra led by conductor & artistic director, Michel Brousseau performed Théodore Dubois’s Messe solennelle de saint Remi and Gabriel Fauré’s beloved Requiem, (considered one of the finest requiems of the 19th century), and finally, the Cantique de Jean Racine by the same composer. But, the highlight for me was the truly moving performance by soloist, Randy Freiha (a soprano from Les Petits Chanteurs de Laval). My guests and I were transported to another era during this sublime concert.

If you love classical music, or if you are like me, and don’t really know that much about it, #FestivalClassica is a wonderful way to attend a grand concert at an accessible price. The Festival is celebrating its 14th season and even has a “pay what you can” ticket option for those who are on a budget.

I will add the link to the festival program, tickets & passports in my Stories and hopefully this sneak peek will inspire you to attend one or many of the upcoming concerts.

Happy World Verdejo Day!🍷Verdejo is a white win

Come with me to @pan_american_pizza 🍕 This cute

Come with me to @pan_american_pizza 🍕 This cute little pizza place, opened last fall by chef Danny St-Pierre, is a real gem on a leafy little street in the Mile-Ex neighbourhood. We tried the Cacio e Pepe croquettes, the BB smash burgers and two of the delicious original pizzas: le Magistrale and Pep su’l top. Danny came out to see us with dessert and trust me, you don’t want to leave without trying the tiramisu with a shot of espresso made from Dany’s own coffee blend! Buon appetito!

A quick house tour of my Edwardian carriage house before today’s open house. A good thing about an open house or visit, is that it means I have to tidy up and clean every corner! How long do you think it will stay this way? 😆

My nautical night with @msccruisesofficial was a refreshing escape from the Grand Prix grind. We were treated to a luxury cruise experience on terra firma at the MSC Canada Inc. offices, complete with a champagne reception, hot towels, delicious bites by @traiteur_brera and DJ music by @ericthetutor to get us all dancing. Have any of you been on an MSC cruise ship? I would love to experience one of their cruises in the future!

I visited the Festival des vins et spiritueux with @vindefrancewines as a VIP on Friday and I discovered quite a few of these unique and creative wines during a really in-depth wine workshop where I learned that this particular denomination allows winemakers more freedom to use their imagination and creativity to produce some truly amazing wines. From natural wines, to orange wines and biodynamic wines - this was overall, an enriching experience that I’m grateful to share with you. Cheers!

A house without rugs is like someone without shoes, to me it just doesn’t feel right. It’s somehow less grounded and boy does it echo in here! Took these yesterday after the real estate photographer came by. The house listing should be up in the next day or so!

My house hasn’t looked so bare since we had the new floors put in back in 2017! We’ve rolled up the carpets and removed some personal items because we have decided to put the house on the market this week! If you know of anyone who is looking for a tiny castle, a little pied à terre à Montréal, let me know and I’ll put them in touch with our agent.

Garden story part II: Sunday was the perfect day t

Garden story part II: Sunday was the perfect day to finish my little garden. With the fence freshly painted, we headed to our local gardening store to pick up some more pebbles, a row of scalloped lawn edge stones to keep the pebbles from escaping the garden and plants for all the planters! In the eight years that I’ve had my home, this is my favourite iteration of the garden yet! I chose white hydrangea for the antique planters, as they were by far the nicest plants I’d ever planted in summer. This particular variety is called “Incrediball” an improved version of the classic ‘Annabelle’ hydrangea which should produce extra-large blooms. I love them because they will look like giant snowballs - so fluffy! Behind Actaeon, our garden statue, I’ve planted some chamomile and there’s one banana cream daisy in an extra planter. What is your favourite flower to plant in your garden or balcony?
