Since my first visit in Toronto, there was still much to be seen and I am so glad that on our most recent trip, we were able to walk and explore around this beautiful Canadian city! We quickly understood how much of a FOOD CITY Toronto is!

So, I just got home from another long day. I proceeded to go to the craft store right after work to pick up some paper, and POP, I flattened my tire on a curb.

The story behind this mirror is heartwarming and incredible. It epitomizes the good will and generosity in people - in this case, total strangers.

I wanted to share this beautiful story with you.

I broke out Massimo's jacket for our first al fresco dining of 2018! Well, if you're not counting all of those beachside dinners in Hawaii, that is...The pelletteria in which this coat once lived is in the magical city of Florence. The leather shop, named after its owner, Massimo, was an equally magical place. I recounted the serendipitous story in this post, and oh how it brings a smile to my face!
