Tri-tone scarf
This superbulky yarn is so quick to knit with. I found it at The Loop on Barrington St. I’m knitting a two-toned scarf and only cast on 11 stitches instead of 13. A simple knit and purl pattern great for a beginner. Super quit for a last minute gift. This one is for me to match my vintage 1940’s swing coat.
It’s here!!!
My new issue of Taproot Magazine. It’s beautiful and filled with everything I need including a sweater pattern.
Morris East
Today I’m galavanting in Halifax. I started at The Loop yarn store and found some beautiful yarns. I wish I could share the feel of them. Soft and luxurious.
I’m sitting in the cemetery across from St Mary’s Basilica writing this post. I stopped in because I like the peacefulness of cemeteries and also because I had the feeling I may have some ancestors here. I actually do. I remember their names from my research. Samuel Rudolph died at 90 years of age in 1826. Imagine! His wives are buried beside him.
I found a restaurant on Morris St, Morris East that has gluten free pizza. The pizza was a fried egg and Avocado wood fired pizza. It was very good. I had a salted Caramel gluten free tart for dessert, which I’m recovering from at the moment. Oh my was it sweet goodness!! Take a look, do I not look content.
I want to knit those socks! This beautiful smocked sweater also has to be in my queue. It’s knit with Berroco, one of my fav yarns.
Dig Day Two
My second and last day was great. I wish I could stay longer but my job calls. We found some interesting artifacts today. Wood, copper, ceramics and a few mysteries. I’ll have to wait until the analysis happens before I can find out the whole story. With every season there always arises a new question, it keeps you going until the next digging season comes. Here are some photos.
Hydrostone Market
I travelled to the Hydrostone Market district today. I heard about a yarn shop and hat seller.
Lady Luck Boutique
LK Yarns had some beautiful yarns and I couldn’t help but take a sampling home with me:
Here is where I ate, it was really good/
Sister Lotus
My Bellydance instructors troupe. Beautiful!!
2 Doors Down
This restaurant found on Barrington St. actually has really awesome gluten free burgers and fries. For dessert I had chocolate mousse. A+ for presentation.
I found this Art Deco beaded purse on my travels.
Annapolis Royal
So I’ve been shopping, there are some nice shops here in Annapolis Royal. Antique shops, vintage clothing, and craft.
Here’s where I’m posting from. Beautiful Fort Anne.
It’s a beautiful, breezy day.
After lunch I started at The Crooked Floor. I found these cool fans.
I found an awesome vintage shop recently opened. Infinity Threads &vintage. Izabella, the owner told me about a fashion blog that is a must see. It’s called Lion Hunter, this blogger also makes one of a kind clutches.
My next stop was down the street. 304 St George. Organic cotton from India, this is a beautiful natural hand dyed dress.
Far- fetched Antiques is a favourite of mine. You can see why. Check out the felt flowers. Love it!!
My favourite find this cute little bag from infinity threads.
My favourite shops
So here are my most visited shops in Halifax for vintage and secondhand finds:
The Black Market is my favourite for bellydance clothes.
Leaving my mark yesterday at Lion and Bright. Wanting to leave something meaningful, I wrote my favourite quote by Anne Frank. Cool idea, chalkboard painted bathroom stalls. Fulfilling our human need to connect through graffiti.
