The Artscape party last Thursday evening was a blast. Fabulous catering and booze supplied by Iler Campell. Thank you Iler Campbell! Lots of hijinks with fellow Artscapers.
Getting ready....
Signage!
A sneak peek at the Gallery
Tomorrow is the official opening of the Artscape Triangle Lofts so today there were many folks dashing about putting finishing touches on the building. Our building includes a gallery on the first floor (!!) and to celebrate the opening we have mounted a group show called "This must be the Place" which will open tommorrow. Above a sneak peek.
These are the BEFORE pics...
My livingroom for just one more day. (Thank God)
My very temporary office.
Fancy L shaped desk fashioned from Bentwood chair plus my monitor + tv boxes = Glamour.
Home decor update:
Nixed the idea of the polished concrete floors. Too pricey.
Am getting a sisal rug put in tomorrow for the livingroom.
Can't wait to show you the AFTER pics!
Good Egg + How to Host a Dinner Party
Our entertaining teacher Corey Mintz
Happy student with Hot buttered Bourbon
Love these Marimekko mugs
Adorable Mugs with lids by the amazing Japanese illustrator Shinzi Katoh.
ps. I really like these and Christmas is coming. Hint.
Last night I attended a very fun evening at Good Egg.
Toronto Star columnist Corey Mintz conducted a course called How to Host a Dinner Party - Without losing your mind. Corey was the ideal person to teach such a course as he hosts a dinner party every single week in his home and then writes about it in his very entertaining column FED. The evening was full of much laughter, helpful tips and an incredible Buttered Bourburn aperitif to end off the festivities! Yum.
Classes at Good Egg = Highly recommended.
ps. A visit to Good egg always equals a feast for the eyes. Mika hand picks tchotchkes from around the world for her shop so there is always much eye candy to inspire.
