Almost two years ago I closed my little home decor boutique. Partly a business decision {there was a nasty recession going on, you may have heard!}, partly a family one {Carys, the best surprise I’ve ever had , was due to arrive}, I knew without a doubt it was the right decision. But we all know [...]
So if you are a fan of Kerrisdale Design on Facebook, you may have seen me post a link yesterday to a great candid interview with Sarah Richardson on Passion Profiles {click image to be taken to the interview}.
It was such an inspiring interview that my friend Victoria from DesignTies and Edin Interiors also shared it [...]
Back In The Day
I remember back in grade 11 English one of my favourite teachers Mrs. Baerg gave us an assignment….create a scrapbook of our life. All the details of what our future life would turn out like. University, our spouse, children, home, hobbies, and whatever else we wanted to include. In my book I [...]
Hello friends! Today’s post is a bit of a mish mash, so bear with me as I do a little housekeeping {much prefer this kind to the real thing !}
The Goods
I received some lovely comments over on Brooklyn Limestone after my guest post {thank you!}, and many were wondering some of the sources for items [...]
A week ago we took a Saturday morning jaunt to my friend Heather Cameron’s blueberry farm, Missing Goat. What a lovely spot! I first met Heather through my store – she would borrow products for photoshoots/magazine articles {she’s an amazing stylist for magazines}, and she very kindly took the pictures of our little store that were sent into [...]
A busy busy day it’s been thus far….wallpaper shopping, working on floorplans and design schemes for a basement {the ultimate hangout basement, can’t wait to share with you!} and a home office, and doing other not so fun things like bookeeping and reconciling transactions in my accounting software {yawwwnnn…}
As I’ve been working away, I’ve been [...]
A sweet reader left me a comment yesterday, Sherry at Design Indulgence. When I stopped by her blog to peek around {it’s lovely!} I came across an inspiring video she’d posted. It was too good not to share with you all {thanks Sherry!}.
“I Dare You” a reading by Kelly Corrigan
Is it totally weird that this makes me want to trade in my SUV for a minivan? I laughed so hard when I saw this today {turn on your speaker volume!}:
“I ride hard through the streets and the cul-de-sac, proud parent of a honour roll student, Jack”
“I kiss the boo-boos, clean doggy doo-doo, cut the [...]
Do we like blackberries? Oh boy, do we ever! says Ben. Blackberries picked fresh on Grandma’s farm are best, and homemade blackberry jam on toast is good too, but we won’t complain about a pint from the local market! Oh goodness, we’re not picky!
Wishing you all a happy Friday! I’ve got a busy {and exciting!} week coming up, so I’ll be away for a few days and back next Thursday or Friday. What’s on the agenda? Work on my new website {yay!}, a photoshoot with the amazing Janis Nicolay {another yay!}, work on a new painting I’m doing [...]
I don’t often frequent the Anthropologie site, and in fact I’ve never even been to a store in person. But I found myself on their site last night and spent some time browsing. Here are some lovelies I came across….many of them perfect Christmas stocking stuffers if you are an organized enough person to shop [...]
