Oh So Excited! Sculpture

December 09, 2011 - Text Alert! OMG. I'm Oh So Excited! I spontaneously indulged myself with a delicious piece of Canadian Sculpture from Troy Seidman at Caviar20. Check out this 26" steel and enamelled sunburst sculpture hand-made in Quebec in the 1970's. This isn't the first piece I've purchased from curator Troy.

Dance, Then Dine In Leslieville

November 05, 2011 - Although circumstances derailed me from attending 'Art Toronto' last weekend (Sniff!), I kept my Friday evening clear to attend the production of 'Pteros Tactics' choreographed by Christopher House for the Toronto Dance Theatre presented at the Winchester Street Theatre.

The City Of Culture

October 14, 2011 - I know... we're all victims of it. We live in our big cities boasting about all the cultural amenities at our disposal, but in the complacency of our day to day lives we miss some great experiences.

Sunday Brunch & The Queen West Art Crawl

September 19, 2011 - Okay, so I'm not a Cheerio's fan but I thought this a great pic to chat about Sunday brunch. As a realtor, my action-janet-life-on-the-go doesn't always allow me leisurely Sundays to drink Mimosa's and savour waffles with maple syrup and bacon (Hello? Canadian here!). This is because weekends are often booked chock-a-block with appointments unlocking the doors of…

Dazzling Distillery District

February 12, 2011 - Being in the thick of February, particularly in Toronto, isn't an easy climate to weather. It's brittle freezing to the point where you worry your fingers might shatter if you remove your gloves, and the moment you walk indoors those of us with eye wear need a mini scraper to remove the instant icy…

February 01, 2011 - If exploring the Interior Design Show wasn't enough fun for one this weekend past, going to the 'Come Up To My Room' exhibit at The Gladstone Hotel elevated my fun quotient even more! After my pals and I toured the ID Show we grabbed brunch at The Drake Hotel (it is…
