Hello friends & Welcome Spring!
The sun is shining, the birds are singing, and the snow is finally melting here in Toronto. Throw aside your shovels and parkas...it's a new season for adventures!
If you know me, you'll know I've been searching for MONTHS now for the perfect vintage leather travel bag for such adventures and weekend trips. And I have found it just in time for spring! Pictured is a few of my travel essentials - a notebook for jotting down brilliant thoughts that I'd otherwise forget, a camera for capturing moments, Burt's Bees lip balm, a thrifted paisley blanket scarf ($7 from Talize) and a thrifted genuine leather travel bag. This bag is SO DREAMY. The quality is astounding and it has so many pockets, a plaid interior and that gorgeous already-worn-in look to it. I paid $19.99 American dollars for this baby from a Goodwill in LA. A steal if you ask me. I already know it's one of my *forever* pieces. I can't wait to take this out on the town!
And since it's finally warm enough to actually leave the house (can I get an AMEN?) and there's actually a clear path from my door to the bus stop - this will be happening very soon! Thus, I've begun planning a sort of Spring bucket list.
1) Buy some flowers from the market
Not just flowers. Market flowers! Because this means actually leaving my comfortable little home (and putting on pants a dress), soaking up some culture and associating with other people who are just as happy as I am to be basking in some sunshine.
2) Visit my friends that live downtown
It's been a long winter and I've really avoided leaving the house. At. All. Costs. Being a hermit is great and all, but sometimes you gotta socialize. Plus, who doesn't love a good opportunity to dress up! I mean, you never know who you'll meet when you're out and about downtown Toronto...
3) Pick up some plants and start planning the garden
Home grown flowers and veggies? Yes please! But what to plant... I'm guessing we'll try carnations, zucchini and carrots (maybe peas?) as I've had luck with those in the past. Do you have any recommendations of veggies that you've had luck with? Let me know, if you do!
4) Spring Cleaning & Downsizing
Downsize, downsize, downsize. I have yet to completely master the minimalist lifestyle, but I'm working on it. First stop - the closet!
And that's only the beginning. Do you have anything planned for your Spring bucket list yet? I'd love to hear it!
