Last week, we made a bit of a fuss about Valentine's Day - we had a family friends over for dinner, we made a red themed meal (steak, red potatoes, and chocolate mousse with raspberries), made heart-shaped confetti for the table and big heart cutouts to pin on our chests.
The little bit of frou frou made the evening that much more enjoyable and festive.
Now if this heart looks familiar it is probably because you saw it here:

The View from Airplane
I like airplane rides and now that I take photos - I like taking photos through airplane windows. On my way up to Canada, there was a beautiful sunset. I love the dramatic colours.
Going on a Vacation
It is really hard to beat the exhilaration of going on vacation especially when the vacation includes getting on a plane and going to see people that you love.
I headed up to Canada.
It is cold and I am consistently dressed in 3 layers minimum but so far so great :) More on the vacation later.
Going to the Farmer's Market
I absolutely love going to the Farmer's Market. It is the perfect place to purchase local produce, check out local arts and craft, eat amazing food, and people watch.
We went to the Farmer's Market in Halifax located right on the waterfront. We sipped on lattes, munched on perogies (yum!) and buckwheat savoury crepes (double yum!), and purchased fresh scallops, local white wine (Tidal Bay) and fresh bread.
Highly recommended!
