Stratford weekend

Monday, October 21, 2013









Mark and I were fortunate to get another weekend away this past weekend, this time to Stratford, Ontario. Every year, Mark's company has a dinner and theatre night; this year we had dinner at The Parlour and went to see Fiddler on the Roof at the Festival Theatre. It was amazing.

Usually dinner and the show are on the same night, but our plans were changed up a bit when we couldn't find Fiddler tickets for Saturday. It was a bit of a blessing however because we were able to enjoy our dinner instead of being rushed out to catch the show. Fiddler wasn't playing until the next day at 2pm so we were able to sleep in (Ok we slept until 8am, but that was sleeping in for us!), have breakfast and wander around town before the show. It a cold weekend, but nice nonetheless and it was so nice to get away once again.

Have you seen Fiddler on the Roof? What did you think? I have been apparently living under a rock because although I knew the name, I didn't know anything about the story.

I just got home from Stratford, Ontario . Have you been? If not you should check out the Shakespeare Festival this year... I should also add that there is an amazing Shakespeare Festival in Prescott, Ontario as well. If I didn't tell you my mother would be quite mad ;). I was in Stratford for work and for the Canada 3.0 forum. It was a crazy and tiring couple of weeks, but very cool to hear the discussions about the future of digital media in Canada.

Needless to say, I'm pretty tired. But when I got home I perked right up because of a very special piece of mail I received. A few weeks ago I ordered a new piece of fabric from Danielle Smeets and I got it today. It's called Poppies and I got it, well... basically because I got married in a town called Poppi. I know, I know... I'm a bit of a nerd.


There it is. Man it's soooo pretty! I can't even describe how pretty, because it doesn't feel like the regular fabric I order. I don't even think I'll sew anything with it. Maybe a piece of art? Who knows. But it's too pretty to cut up.

Ok I'm signing off because I want to veg. I'm going to park myself on the couch to watch the NHL playoffs with the hubster!

Have a good night!
