I’m in love with these amazing prints by Matti Pikkujämsä. The flowers & beautiful colour would brighten our apartment now that the days are shorter & greyer. Scandinavian design is so lovely, right? Can’t get enough of it.
I feel a little strange posting about pumpkins when there’s snow outside my window. Waking up to the trees dusted in snow made me nostalgic for the time I lived in Finland. Playing in snow & dancing to Christmas tunes in October was completely normal. And perfectly okay with me! I absolutely love everything there is to love about the… Read More
We’re off to Calgary for the long weekend to celebrate Canadian Thanksgiving (October 8) with some friends. Yes, that’s correct. I get to celebrate Thanksgiving twice this year! In preparation for tonight’s dinner Greg & I were up past our bed time baking a pumpkin pie. I’m trying my hardest not to sneak a taste. It looks sooo yummy. I… Read More
This week has been a bit stressful with October sneaking up & reminding me that there is so much to be done if I want to stay here in Edmonton. There are tons of obstacles in the way & I’m definitely a girl up to the challenge, but I need to stop beating myself up over things I cannot change…. Read More

Absolutely amazing, right? Lucky for you, you can purchase a… Read More
After being forced to decline the job offer due to Visa issues I decided to take the rest of the day off & bake one of my favourite desserts, chocolate chip cookies. I used this trusty recipe, but substituted a cup of buckwheat flour for all-purpose flour. The nutty flavour works perfectly with the chocolate. Next time around, I’d like… Read More
[Positive Inking] Sorry for the lack of posts. Again. But I promise there is a worthy explanation as to why I’ve been away. I’m busy crossing off goals on that list of mine! Well, kind of. Yesterday was full of a wide range of emotions. I was offered a Marketing Coordinator position which led to dancing, jumping and big smiles,… Read More
[01.] [02.] [03.] [04.] [05.] [06.] Yes! The weekend is here! Every single night this week I was up past 1 am working away which is why I am so excited to shut down the computer and head off to the mountains for a night of camping! I put together a few of my camping essentials. A warm sweater for… Read More
love every last bit of this room! Normally I wouldn’t go for a sofa in white, but this looks so cozy. The possibilities are endless here with the various throws & pillows out there to liven it up. This sofa is absolute perfection & with that ampersand pillow, I’m sold! The last 3 weeks have been dedicated to finding a… Read More
Remember the new ride I was telling you about? Here she is! Saturday morning Greg & I went to the bike shop to fix her up. Isn’t she a beauty? We then spent the afternoon cycling around the city to soak in the last bit of warm weather. Another weekend gone, le sigh. The weeks have been flying. I wish… Read More
