These past couple days have been BUSY!!!! We spent alot of time together as a family, trying to soak up the last days of my mat leave.... best of all I have not had to cook! Between meals out and eating at my Mom's I have been spoiled!.
Friday night we went to Buckeyes Smokehouse for dinner with my mom and sister. This was a great kick start to the weekend. I strongly suggest you check them out, this was our 2nd visit as a family and Mr. P's 4th and so far everything we've had (Jambalaya, Burgers, Chicken & Waffles, Antojitos, Mac 'n' Cheese, Beef tibs, to name a few) has been delicious!! The burgers in particular are the the bomb.
On Saturday Mr.P, the kids and I we went down to Ottawa Street to do a little thrifting and so I could take Mr.P to Antique Avenue. We did well, I picked up a couple odds and ends, Mr.P spent more money than I could believe on thousands of vintage marbles and,best of all, we finally found a dining room set we LOOOVE from The Millionaire's Daughter.
Here is a sampling of some of the stuff we got this weekend and a cute piece I got for NoNo on Kijijji. (Pictures aren't the best. Sorry. My Camera dropped and the flash no longer works, and the lens is all dented :(... also ignore all the ugly apt backdrops. New house next week!)
Got this sweet little dresser/table thing on Kijiji for NoNo. I plan to paint it white and change out the hardware and make the cutest little princess table for her. I will post pics when I finish it. This baby was $40.00 |
| Picked this sweet little mirror up at Antique Avenue. It was $15.00, which was more than I wanted to spend, but I fell in love with it. I actually left the store, got to the car and turned back to go get it. I couldn't leave it. The pictures on the side could eventually be replaced, but I love them (for now). |
 |
| Firstly, ignore the terrible old stove in the pic. Sadly, it was the best light in this cave I currently call home. Secondly check out those two cuties! My mom scored these for me this week. They will go perfectly with my angel. |
 |
| Got this tin at Antique Avenue. I really only got it because it was made in Jamaica. I am going to clean it up and then find some place to display it. |
 |
| Got this at Antique Avenue as well, and for the same reason as the one above. |
 |
| This is a sweet little book for NoNo. It's a Cupid fabric book from 1967. It's called Pussy Cats, and cost $1.00 |
 |
| I got this cardboard record to display in NoNo's rool. On the back it a picture of an Elephant and a rooster and it says "Would you rather be an Elephant" Sooo sweet and cost me nothing! |
 |
| This is a Social Hygiene Booklet for Parents, from the Canadian Social Hygiene Council and was printed in 1926!! I have no practical purpose for it, but plan to house it in my new living room. |
Got this for $1.00 and have no real use for it other than as a conversation piece. I am not sure how old it is or who made it or anything, but I thought it was cute.
The piece below on the right is the hutch that goes with the table. We loved it too and decided to get both! I will post pics once we have the room set up!
Mr. P and I capped off this great weekend with a dinner for two at Wass Ethiopian restaurant. We have been before and will go again. Not only is the food great (we always have one of the combination platters), but the prices are sooo reasonable. It was $27.00 for us both to eat (lamb wat & vegetarian platter), Mr.P had an Ethiopian beer and we had left overs!!! Added bonus, if you are not a germaphobe, is that you you eat it traditional Ethiopian style which is communal eating. It was a nice end to the weekend and Mr.P and I really needed a date night.
Well I am off. It's Family Day here so I am off to be with my family and prep for my first day back to work tomorrow.
Holla
