Please follow me over at http://www.nomadichomestead.tumblr.com I have decided to take things in a different direction and focus more on the visual side of blogging. You will find some of my favourite photography plus some of my own, as well as some poetic text. Of course the odd DIY and recipe will find it's way over there too. See you there!

The Wedding

I know, I know, I once again failed the blog world and haven't posted in months. I really did think it was going to be easy (and therapeutic) to blog about planning a wedding, but life took over and the blog was left behind. To the girls out there that manage to document everything up to their wedding kudos to you!
The wedding was perfect. Well there were tiny imperfections, but at the end of the day we partied, laughed, drank, cried, and felt so much love from everyone around us so it was exactly what we needed. Our photos aren't yet finished, but I'm going to post a few with watermarks or taken by family members for now. I hope you enjoy them (if there is even anyone out there anymore! Seriously, sorry for the lack of posting).

I ended up choosing a dress from J Crew. It was so affordable and beautiful. My only disappointment was I wanted sleeves (what is up with all the strapless wedding dresses?) I ended up buying a little cardigan from Anthropologie to wear on top.

Herriott Grace

I thought this video was fantastic so I decided to share it with all of you! Herriott Grace is a fantastic company run by a father/daughter duo with hand made wooden objects (spoons, bowls, etc.), ceramics, linens, etc. Everything they create is so beautiful and from the heart. Just watch the video below.

Engagement Photos

One quiet Monday afternoon Eric and I went to Allan Gardens and finally got down to getting our engagement photos taken. A good friend of mine, Ana Lukac, took the photos and I'm so happy with how they turned out!

Sunburn after a long day with no sunscreen... oops.

Cinemagram

Have you heard of Cinemagram? If not then you should really check it out! It is the coolest app I have seen, and eats my data plan like I never imagined (I have no self-control and make a hundred cinemagrams a day... if you have self-control I'm sure your data plan will survive)

Friends white docs/High Park/Latte Light at R2

Working in retail is tough, but then there are those moments. I had an irate customer the other day, and about half an hour after dealing with her a girl came in and handed me a cupcake. She owns the store across the street and told me she thought I handled the customer very well and deserved a treat after such an awful experience. She really made my day!
