Calgaryism: A Friday Night

Last Friday night Krista and I had tickets to go see Stuart McLeans A Vinyl Cafe Christmas at the Jubilee. It was the bet Friday night I've had in a while and might just be a tradition now. I've been launched into full blow Christmas spirit and I'm now done my shopping! Tis the season!

Calgaryisms: The Weather

People who live in Alberta will relate to this. We are eternal skywatchers. We have to be like this as the weather in the prairies changes on a dime. This summer has been strange. July was rainy. August was hot and dry. We've also had some of the coolest clouds I've seen this summer. Purples, and pinks, and greys and lavenders. We've has some close call hail storms. We've had some rotating clouds. All in all though I love this province. It keeps you on your toes!

Calgaryisms: Thrift Store Happiness Forgotten Loves

OH NO! I got these beauties a few months back and never did post them here! They are from the Mennonite Thrift Store (Mentioned Here) and good ol' Value Village. So here's a picture and then I'll gush:

 

(Clockwise from top): A lion picture frame that will look fabulous with Miss Sofia's face in the middle, a lemon covered Pyrex pitcher perfect for homemade iced tea, a silk scarf, a pattern for a kiddo outfit that I liked the look of, a bicycle necklace, an owl brooch, and an enamel flower brooch.

It's hard to see the piece d'resistance, so here's a close up:

 Pure and utter cuteness!
