Weekend Adventures

This weekend, I decided to tackle my entryway. My summer hanging baskets and pots were dead, my door mat was sad and the interior and exterior door paint was chipped and faded. It was time for a Fall refresh! For roughly $200, I was pretty pleased with my mini-makeover.

Sad and drab.

Dead and bla.

These purple mums were calling my name.

Moving two cast-iron urns is hard work people!

A new coat of black paint does wonders.

Weekend Adventures

This weekend, we decided to explore a spot we have seen from afar many times (oh the joys of DVP traffic), Evergreen Brick Works. All we knew before taking off, was that we should follow the smoke stack to the Sunday Farmers' Market, and boy were we in for a pleasant surprise. This is a must-see weekend stop, suitable for adults, couples and families alike. Check out our adventure below!

THE MARKET: Fresh lavender, chocolate, artisans, craft beer, soaps, fruit, wine, gelato.
