Bremfield's is where passion meets beauty, whether it be in unique floral arrangements or a homemade treat!
It was a little getaway in the truest of senses. It was time to hear my own thoughts, or chat with Ryan and not feel like I'm competing with four little ones who want his attention just as much as I do. They graciously let me stay a little longer in the spa until Ryan had finished his meetings We took our time driving home along the lakeshore, stopping at some of my favourite spots along the way.
It seems ridiculous to break up such a short trip, but I saw so many things, and popped into so many charming little places, that for the sake of not having a million photos, I'll post each day separately. Like this charming home above - it actually had one of the larger properties, and yet it's still quite tiny. Across from Riverdale Farm is the Toronto Necropolis, a historic cemetery with it's Gothic Victorian architecture. During the day, they serve tea and pastries, and in the evening it's a bar.
When your husband has to go out of town for a couple nights on business, especially when his conference happens to be at the luxurious Four Seasons Hotel downtown Toronto, you thank your lucky stars your parents are happy to watch the kids, pack your bags, and tag along! I spent quite a bit of time planning out how I would spend the couple days; which bakeries looked yummy, which cafes seemed prettiest, shops I wanted to browse and neighborhoods I wanted to walk about. Of course, I could have stayed in the hotel for the couple days I was in town, and I would have been perfectly happy! The evening hours, just as the sun was sinking below the surrounding buildings, was the perfect time to admire everything.
Given the white room, with white bedding, it's nice to have pieces like this side table and the baskets to add warmth. One day, we will expose the stone on this little section of this wall, and the other bit of this wall that's to the left of the closet. Also, I've wanted to add a rug to this room for a while, but just don't want to spend the money on what I want yet. Us and the two little ones are upstairs (they share the nursery), the two older boys have a room downstairs by the family room, another is being used as a playroom, and the last one is being used for storage, and will one day be set up as a guest room.
