The Friday Five: Art Toronto 2012

Exactly one week ago I was browsing amazing collections of art at Art Toronto – Canada’s largest modern and contemporary art fair. Galleries from around the world came to display (and sell) some very special works of art – including eye-catching sculptures, photography, paintings and drawings.

Marketplace: Animal Cutting Boards

It’s no secret that we have an interest in decorating with fake animals in recent years. Remember my growing menagerie? I love the quirky appeal of these animal cutting boards from Quebec design company Brut Design. They would make perfect hostess and birthday gifts, don’t you think?

These and other Canadian-made products are available for purchase at Galerie CO.

Our thoughts are going out to our family and friends on the east coast today who continue to deal with the effects of hurricane Sandy. It’s a good idea to have a few extra candles on hand…especially the whimsical ones…in case you experience a power outage during this stormy weather!
