fraulein Kost

Here i am doing a self photoshoot as kost in cabaret. come see it if you are in the Stratford area

we run till Oct 25th.

opening night of cabaret

opening was may 29th, 2008 and it was magical! if you don't already know, i'm in a production of Cabaret at the Stratford Festival and i play Fraulein Kost. Here's some pics from the after party. To the left is Trish Lindstrom who plays Sally Bowles and Kelly-Ann Evans who is a featured ensemble (Erica Mann)

my sweet mustard killer heels!

Here is my sweetie, Kevan and below is me with the director, Amanda Dehnert. She's brilliant!

the chef

can you believe it's my first roast chicken?

fresh sage and rosemary with butter under the skin and onion and lemon inside... salt and pepper makes for an unbelieveable treat!

garden flowers

our garden is taking shape!

pretty yellow daisy-like flowers, hibiscus, beebalm and columbine to name a few

mid century modern

look at how craigslist came through for me! with this gorgeous danish teak side board and hutch.. it's perfect in our dining room and houses all our glassware perfectly. i got it for only $120! ahhh! i love you craigslist!

our new fireplace

so, instead of calling the pest control to help rid us of a raccoon living in our fireplace chimney... we went a step further by installing this awesome gas fireplace.

To get rid of the raccoon? lots of distorted, loud music and moth balls... oh, and a sturdy baracade.

now the only animals in our bedroom is my and my lover! ha

could this robins nest be any more perfect?

look what i found on my window sill! i hope i don't miss the hatching while i'm away from home... it's just super sweet!

thanks artish, pixiepaper, olive, memekiwii!

montreal

so i just got back from an eventful few days. i popped up to montreal to shoot a cheese commercial (no, i'm not kidding)... but more on that later. it was just star treatment all the way. First we travelled on the most civilized airline known to canada called Porter.
stunning lounges, complimentary cappicinos, bicotti, smoked almonds, juices, internet, newspapers. ultra modern lounges. the service was stellar!

then when we got to our hotel... it was more luxury! we stayed at the Opus Hotel in downtown montreal. again, ultra modern design and state of the art... everything. it was really nice! lucky lucky me! i can't wait to go back and see more one day.
my room ~ the pictures don't do it justice

a touch of vintage

happy girl

flyball slouch sac in paris... lucky bag!

Fresh Florals

this is a store that opened up a new location in my neighbourhood this past year and i'm thrilled!
it's called fresh florals. they have the most stunning window designs ever with a constant change over a couple times a week.

i love to walk in to the store and just look at everything.

i come out creatively inspired every time.

my kind of bathroom

sigh! i love the feel of both of these bathrooms. clean and fresh.

mr. lights

so in my search for my dining room light... yes, i'm still looking! i thought i'd try one last place for a shade. i called up mr. lights.. he seemed like quite the character over the phone ~ a real talker and very confident. i thought i'd give it a whirl.

i stopped by yesterday and its a very 'interesting' shoppe. lots of product everywhere... very second hand feel. i was already there so i popped in. and there he was, mr. lights, aka Elvis. he fully lives in character and it's quite something. here he is... elvis is in the building!

i don't know if i'll buy there... but it was a fun trip

Ultra Retro

I found this rad gal on etsy called ultraretro specializing in stylizings from the 60's - 80's. above is an 80's fringed and sequined shawl. below is a summer delightful vintage 80s cream dress
her pictures show each item well and it's all priced reasonably too. i like.

tv cabinets

i've searched for the coolest tv cabinets and these are tops for me... it's harder than you think!

wow! this first lacy unit makes me feel unabashed to say 'i'm a tv watcher'. i could easily stare at this for hours... and the damask wallpaper really gives me the horn.
go to brocadehome to make it yours


the next two designs are from skloib wohndesign. sleek and delightful



above is a modern unit that enables the tv to slide up and down. nice.
