Meet You at the Mall : A Lady-Date at Yorkdale and a Small Lush Haul

My friendship with Stella has been a long one. We keep in touch regularly, but these days we don't get to lay eyes on one another nearly as often as we'd like. She's a nurse with a busy schedule which makes finding time a challenge, but also keeping us apart is the fact that she now lives outside the city to the north. So our easy get-togethers for a drink, dinner and/or a movie are a thing of the past.Throughout November we’d been back and forth on email, trying to set up a date, when she suggested that each of us travel a little and meet in the middle, at Yorkdale Mall.Having opened in 1964, this mall is the oldest one in the city and having both grown up nearby, (to the west in Malton), we've known Yorkdale Mall forever.

An Afternoon Crafting Party with Makeful TV

Have you heard about the new specialty lifestyle television channel called Makeful, where the aim is to inspire creativity in everyone? Their programming focuses on the sharing of ideas and techniques for handmade one-of-a-kind projects, food preparation, home design and personal style.

Located within one of the historic brick-and-beam former factory buildings on King Street West, the venue 2nd Floor Events was lovely.

Pear Relish with Brie and Sampling Craft Wine

According to the Urban Dictionary, by celebrating the "Sunday Funday" you can extend your weekend festivities just a little longer before hanging up your party pants.

Our party pants may have been loungewear, but you could say that we've done a little funday celebrating around here, over the last couple of weekends. The reason for that was that we were sent two bottles of wine to taste, and Sundays were the best days to do that.
