toronto - my new home.

I cannot believe I have been in Toronto for 2 weeks! It is mind boggling! I have done and seen so many things and gotten settled in pretty well! Within the first 2 days I landed an amazing job at a flower shop downtown! It has been amazing to be there - it is crazy busy though especially with Mother's Day just passing - insanity in the flower shop!

If you are ever hungry in Toronto there is definitely no shortage of independent restaurants that make the most delicious food EVER! Last week I went with a roommate to the place called WVRST - oh my gawsh!!!!!! I have been dreaming about this place ever since. So basically you order your type of sausage first - they gave like 20 to choose from, all different types of meats and flavours, I picked bratwurst. Then you get to choose if you want it on a bun with all the fixings or cut up and mixed with their red curry sauce - I picked the later. THEN you get to choose what type of fries you want - regular or made with duck fat. Umm hello, duck fat all the way!!! And last but not least one of like 12 dipping sauces for your fries. This place is heavenly and I want to go back everyday! haha

Downtown Toronto mentality is kind of different than any other part of Canada I have ever known. People actually want to take transit and walk places. Weird, I know. But since I am here I have been embracing it! The streetcars are the greatest people watching experience ever. I have seen so many different types of people and situations play out it is like top notch reality TV. Then all the walking that I have been doing - yes, defintely have shin splints, but its all good! You pass by so many places that you never would have noticed if you were driving. And the greatest walking experience is going to get groceries - with a granny cart in tow so your arms dont rip off in the process!

All that to say - I am LOVING it here. So excited to share more and more with you!

Talk soon lovies!

PS. Here are some pictures of the random places I have been!

Oh the signs that you see!

Just on my first train ride! 

the beginning.

I suppose everyone has either started a blog or thought about started a blog at some point. I have actually started 2, and never been that good at keeping up with them. I abandon the poor thing! This is my 3rd and final attempt at a blog! I guess for me it's going to be more of a journal or story of my travels or a letter to all my friends across the county.

This prairie girl is moving to the BIG CITY - no, not New York - Canada's version of the big apple... TORONTO! I have grown up in the lovely prairies and then I moved to the west coast for 5 years! But now the time has come to go east! I never thought in a million years I would go there, but after attending flower school in Toronto I fell in love!

I am following this little heart of mine and pursuing my dreams all the way to Toronto! I hope to grow my floral/styling business and meet new people and become better friends with everyone I met there a few months ago!

I LOVE floral design and will be showing you many many images of what I create, I will be writing you stories of all my adventures (I really do happen to have many weird things happen to me), and I love love love DIY projects - hopefully you will learn something new! If any of this intrigues you then stick around!

For now I will leave you with some wonderful pictures of my trip to Toronto for flower school!

Talk soon lovies!
