While Rayna and I were in Waterloo we decided to check out another brand new store in nearby Kitchener, called ‘Woolverine’ (great name!). This store is literally a week old, and located in a fantastic space above street level. It feels a little tucked away but I have no doubt that once the word gets…

Last Saturday, Rayna (my partner in fiber-related crime) invited me on a road trip to Waterloo to visit a yarn store I had never been to, ‘Shall We Knit?’. Much damage to my credit cards ensued because, wow, what a gorgeous store. Good thing I’m shameless when it comes to yarn. We met with the…

I do a lot of things in my day job, but photography has always been the best part of what I do. One of our clients in particular is a huge part of my photography life, and every year we choose a shortlist of my best non-work related shots of the year to print and…

Ok, last photos of Italy, promise! I know it’s supposed to be the Friday Shiny – and I’ve got some adorable pieces to show off, but first I must share my absolutely favourite part of the Amalfi coast. Not much to say, just tons of pics. A little town nestled into the mountainside. Colour galore.…

The island of Capri lies just off the Amalfi Coast, about an hour long ferry ride from Amalfi itself. The ferry ride is gorgeous, passing the town of Positano on the way in. Positano was so lovely, that I decided then and there to spend my last day exploring it, but that’s for another post…

The Fuljifilm x100s is not a camera I would have chosen for myself, despite its gorgeous design, simply because it’s an all-digital that costs twice as much as a beginner DSLR. However, now that I’ve test-driven one in Italy I’ve got to say that I’m in love. The camera has got some weight to it;…

It’s been a week, and I’ve been sitting on about 70 gigs of photography from Italy – yesterday morning I finally made some headway. I’ve been to Italy before and it’s always a new adventure – being immersed in so much history, art, and the best food on the planet. Seriously, all I do in…

I told myself I would write a weeks worth of blog posts and set it to run in my absence, but you know how that goes. Then I told myself I could break from the blog too, and that I wouldn’t even think of it until I got home. That didn’t work either. So here…

That’s me :) I pride myself on still being able to get by with a backpack, 65% of which is my camera. And of course, super comfort traveling means crocs and hand knit socks :)
