The crowds of Christmas shoppers weren’t fazed by the cold temperature and the slight drizzle of rain. The Fieldstone Christmas Market went off without a hitch and definitely put us in the mood for Christmas. There was a great selection of goodies, anything from Christmas ornaments to French Macarons, vintage finds to handcrafted jewelry and everything in between. The vendors outdid themselves as always with fabulous displays and a tonne of handcrafted Christmas ornaments and décor. This market was half the size of the last market but just as much fun. It was so great to chat with customers and watch them walk around with smiles on their faces and bags full of great handmade and vintage finds to give (or keep) for Christmas. Jayme Anne of Jayme Anne Photography captured the day on camera and Lily will have some of her images to share tomorrow. In the meantime, take a tour through this fabulous home designed by Jessica Helgerson.  It was featured awhile back on Design*Sponge and I loved it immediately. All the Mid Century furniture mixed with Mediterranean influence, the wood beams, vaulted ceilings, arched doorways and use of colour makes it less serious and a little more fun. I could live there. How about you?

After a feast on sushi and a glass of wine or two with Lily and her husband, we went home for a quick nap so we could catch a plane to Florida in the wee hours of the morning which is where I am now. We’re spending the week exploring our new home and we’re hoping to find temporary housing for us until we find something more long term. Today will be a lazy day maybe with a long drive after some brunch in the sun. I’ll be sure to take some pictures to share along the way. Have a great week!
