One one side, there are no windows. On the other, there are multiple. Look at this gorgeous white home in Kanagawa, Japan by architects Sinichi Ogawa & Associates.

Who else thinks it’s hard to resist gingham?
For more gingham inspiration, check out this gingham-overload outfit I wore in the summer inspired by Blair Eadie of Atlantic-Pacific.
After a weekend in Grey County with friends (#WhiteCabanaGoesToTheCountry), I’m enjoying a day in Toronto with family. Life is good. There’s a lot to be thankful for. Yes, even with all the not-so-great stuff that life has thrown at us, I am thankful. I hope the same is true for you.
I’m thrilled to share that I have already raised nearly $650 for the Canadian Cancer Society (see my personal page to donate). I’m grateful for family and friends who supported my 5K Run for the Cure and who continue to donate. I am appreciative of everyone’s generosity.
My #WhiteCabanaWearsPink series continues today. Since it is Thanksgiving, I’ve curated a collection of pink Thanksgiving table settings.

Happy Thanksgiving!
Leopard! It’s one of my favourite patterns. I love to wear it, and I like its muted shades in home decor.

Happy Thanksgiving to all my Canadian readers!
Since it’s October, there’s now an influx of pumpkin patch photos creeping up on my Instagram feed. I don’t mind them, but I definitely don’t love them. It’s pumpkin overload! And too much orange for my liking.
I thought I’d share a few interesting facts about pumpkins to get in the fall spirit.
- Did you know that pumpkins are part of the gourd family? Other members of the gourd family are cucumbers, honeydew melons, watermelons, and zucchini.
- Pumpkins have been grown in North America for five thousand years.
- In 1584, after French explorer Jacques Cartier explored the St. Lawrence region of North America, he reported finding “gros melons.†The name was translated into English as “pompions,†which has since evolved into the modern “pumpkin.â€
- Pumpkin seeds should be planted between the last week of May and the middle of June. They take between 90 and 120 days to grow and are picked in October when they are bright orange in color. Their seeds can be saved to grow new pumpkins the next year. (Source)
This is a sweet pumpkin bowl. How great would it look filled up with candy? Yes, please! Or you could fill it with punch or soup. Classic!
