time for tourists or to be a tourist...

when you have these great books on hand, kind of makes you want to be a tourist.  only their second edition, these eat.shop books focus entirely on independently owned shops and eating establishments. 

we've got montreal too, with portland and san francisco coming. 

really, we need people like this, rooting for the underdogs in the world of big box shops. 

so, thank you kaie wellman for being so inspired to create these books. she's got a great story, so if you have a moment, here's the link: http://eatshopguides.com/about/

fun and festive, everyone can have their own colour!

after your done muddling, what about serving your cocktails in these lovely glass vessels? why have just any ol' ordinary jug, when you can have one of these?

merry christmas!

sorry, a day late.  we just want to take a moment out of the eating, drinking and sleeping festivities to thank everyone for making our first holiday season so wonderful.  we had no idea what to expect and are so grateful for how everything transpired.  so truly, a sincere thank you, and heartfelt wishes for a healthy, joyous and successful New Year to you and yours.
