Queen West Art Cache

September 17, 2012

Yesterday was a glorious day for the Queen West Art Crawl. After a hectic Saturday of property showings across the city that required negotiating bumper to bumper traffic, in part because the Gardiner Expressway was closed for the weekend, along with portions of Roncesvalles Avenue and Bloor Street for the…

Horseshoe Tavern, Pale Boy and the Elastocitizens

September 16, 2012

Queen West

Last night I rocked out at The Horseshoe Tavern when one of my clients, Brandon McGibbon, the guitar player/singer of both Pale Boy and the Elastocitizens shared his talents with an enthusiastic grooving crowd. I was blown away by his performance, and the entire band who lit up the stage…

Oh So Excited! Sculpture

December 9, 2011

College Street / Little Italy, Queen West

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. Check out his online shop by clicking HERE for other well-priced drool-worthy…

Termites For Our Anniversary

December 2, 2011

College Street / Little Italy, Dufferin Grove / Bloorcourt Village, King West / Niagara / Liberty Village, Leslieville/Riverside, Little Portugal, Queen West, Riverdale / Playter Estates, Roncesvalles Village, St. Lawrence Market, The Danforth, Wallace/Emerson & Brockton Village

Recently I was both charmed and horrified when a pair of my fab newlywed buyers gave me a gift as a ‘One year Anniversary’. As I accepted their delicious sweets and treats (Hello Wine!), they saw a look of confusion pass across my face. I couldn’t compute how they had only recently got married…

Sunday Brunch & The Queen West Art Crawl

September 19, 2011

King West / Niagara / Liberty Village, Queen West

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…

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…

New Bosley Digs & The Drake Cafe On Queen West

December 7, 2010

Queen West

I really love the new Bosley Real Estate digs located at 1106 Queen West in Beaconsfield Village. For a family run company going strong since 1928, The Bosley’s intuitively know how to keep it fresh and stylin’. It’s one more reason I continue to enjoy operating the urbaneer.com brand under their…
