Summer Storm knitting

I’m attempting to knit my Juliette shawl by lamplight. Wish me luck.

I’ve been trying to entertain myself but reading by lamplight put me to sleep. Even though my latest read is very engaging. Come, Thou Tortoise by Jessica Grant. This is a good lesson for me. I’m sitting in silence with just me and my thoughts when I would usually be watching Netflix and knitting.

My favourite shops

So here are my most visited shops in Halifax for vintage and secondhand finds:

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.

Beautiful Day

I’m out and about today, eating, wandering, knitting like a little lost soul. That’s what an impromptu day off is like. Usually I’m scheduled to the max. I’m liking it. Everyone on the street is happy. The sun is sending out it’s happy rays today. I ate at La Frasca (sorry D). I’ve been craving the calamari for months. The fish soup was delicious.

I found a great boutique. It’s been around for awhile but I’ve passed by on other missions and always meant to go in. Well I’m glad I did today. I found a little black dress. The kind you could wear everyday.
