new boots, new yarn, and a new haircut

This was one perfect day. I decided to do a little shopping before heading over to get my hair cut and it was success all-round. First stop, Get Outside on Queen west to look for much needed winter boots. I knew I wanted Sorels but which ones? After trying on four different styles I settled on the caribou's in slate - bring on the snow 'cause I'm ready. Then, I went into Americo at 577 Queen street west. If you have never been, please oh please make the trip. This is a Canadian yarn company which carries high-end, all natural fiber yarns produced for them in the Andean highlands of south America. And, if yarn isn't your thing, they also have gorgeous blankets, throws, cushion covers, merino wool fabric by the metre, handbags, and the best selection of trimmings and notions. Finally, I went to The Cabinet Salon for a much needed hair appointment. The Cabinet Salon is the creative collaboration of Emma Rose and Alex Macdonald. Emma has cut my hair for the past five or so years and when she was unavailable, Alex stepped in. It goes without saying that I am so happy that they have joined forces and opened their own business. The space is gorgeous, light-filled and welcoming - just like Emma and Alex.
