Oh fickle fickle fickle me. Last post was all about the beauty of simple. But today is another love story. This is my fave thing in Hubs' shop ChairTableLamp currently. Isn't she pretty? All gilded and curlycued and filigreed and fancy pants. She's a beaut! I would cheat on simple for this. Find more yummy stuff from his shop at his little bloggy blog. Hubs is a fresh-baked Mac addict now that he's the proud papa to a spanking new clean white MacBook (again, simple is good), so he's getting going on his web space (with a little help). Do visit here.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Love this stuff! It's from hubs' shop. People always assume that since he has a shop that we must have fabulous stuff. Now, I'm not complaining, we certainly have some nice things, but more often than not, the best stuff goes to the shop. It's a living. He can appreciate without coveting. In fact, his favourite sales are not mere business transactions but are meetings of the minds. When the shopper "gets it". If you were a shopper who had heard of Axel Vervoordt or Darryl Carter you would "get" these things. And maybe you might even buy one. Find out more about Kevin's shop here.

Hello bloggersons. I'm so sorry I have been neglecting you. Have just been a bit ocupado - party for maman et papa (50th wedding ann!), Christmas shopping for Dec issue gifts, a bazzillion loads of laundry. You know...life. Well, I've been meaning to toot this horn for a while now. This post is all about my beloved hubby and his crazy talent. Kevin has been selling antiques and decorative bibelots since long before he and I became inseparable. His shop is called ChairTableLamp. It's at 1156 Yonge St in Toronto, one of the city's main decor shopping 'hoods. He always has great stuff. Here's a taste:

 

 

 

 

 

and BTW, people say Kevin looks like Jeff Daniels or Edward Norton. What do you think?
