hello there! this weekend was very fun. first...ivan and i went for sushi on friday to our favourite sushi restaurant 'go tempura'. it's on cannon and james north in hamilton if you're local. sooooo good! and as an extra bonus this is across the street.

i like big art.
then we went for a walk by the hamilton water. it looks nice but i wouldn't touch it. sorry hamilton.

then on saturday i met some university friends at a baseball game in toronto...

annndddd, later we went to the bier markt and i got this...

one of my all time favourites :)
to end the night we tried to find a karaoke bar and we were partially successful...but it only does karaoke sunday and monday. boo. we still had fun...and later 3 of us did get the party started on the dance floor at a beach bar when we got back to stoney creek to make up for no karaoke. i am a silly dancer...i should really only do it in private, haha.

i hope everyone had a super fun weekend! did anyone do karaoke?

5. fabric wall decals from mae

i saw these on modern kiddo this week i love them so much i can't even stand it. they are so beautiful and inspiring. i love the way the extra clothes are displayed on the clothesline. amazing.

4. this vegan ice cream

whenever my grama used to take me to stoney creek dairy i would get chocolate peanut butter ice cream. it is my all time favourite. i thought i was out of luck when i gave up milk products but this vegan version is even better than the original. it is seriously one of the the best ice creams i have ever tasted. peanut butter and flakes of chocolate! oh my goodness. it is taking all of my will power not to go and eat that whole container right now.

3. best cutting board ever

modcloth

2. these clocks from decoy lab

they are adorable!

1. my little ceramic cat collection

hey!

anakin doesn't like the fake cats stealing the attention.
