VISION BOARD - ALBERTA AIR by Steve Alkok
VISION BOARD - ALBERTA AIR
Alberta - Banff, Lake Louise and Jasper in particular, have a special place in my heart. My only visit there with family was not especially fun, but the beautiful landscapes will be forever etched into my brain. I have wanted to go back since my last visit six or seven years ago. However, vacationing there is a tad pricey. I am aiming to save enough money to go in summer 2014. Stay tuned! =)

NEW YORK CITY – Review Part V (Chelsea Market)
NEW YORK CITY – Review Part V (Chelsea Market)
While wandering up Ninth Avenue for art galleries, we stumbled upon a quaint marketplace.
In the 1890s, the National Biscuit Company built a two million square feet factory that stretches from Ninth to Tenth Avenue, and up 15th to 16th Street. The former Oreo production house now resides big broadcasting companies like the Food Network and Oxygen Media. Located directly below the corporate businesses is Chelsea Market. Multicultural foods, adorable desserts, and a vast array of shops were set against a back drop of brick walls and exposed pipes. This rustic chic destination was a visual and palatal feast that attracted locals and tourists alike.

TEA TIME TUESDAYS
TEA TIME TUESDAYS
Two of my favourite pass times are tea drinking and antique tableware collecting. The above are some of my vintage tea cups. I’ve been itching to buy more lately. My friend and I are planning to go antiquing soon. Hopefully I will have some new items to post about in the next few weeks!
I also wanted to showcase the newest edition to my collection: a cute elephant teapot! I purchased it from Kitchen Stuff Plus today. So excited about this piece. =)

CNE 2013 - FOOD BUILDING - Review Part I
After much hype and anticipation, I finally had the chance to visit this year’s CNE. A series of miscommunications and missed transportations later, my boyfriend and I made it in time for the “$5 after 5pm” admission special (Monday-Thursday only).
