2012-01-26T07:35:00.004-05:00

I'm going away for the week end. I wish you have a very good one! See you soon!

The page turner - cute!

blanket...

2012-01-24T07:38:00.002-05:00

I finished it last week. My first wool blanket ever. It's not perfect but I like it. And it is really warm!

Interesting photo series

wednesday...

2012-01-18T07:39:00.004-05:00

An old image again.

The wind was blowing all night, waking me up from time to time. So I was out of bed early this morning. It's still very windy. I should dress warm.

Great link from Robert.

and then it was winter...

2012-01-16T07:42:00.004-05:00

... winter and very cold. The walk brief.

And please feel free to answer my question here. Thank you to those who already have!

Wishing you a good week.

sunday...

2012-01-15T10:17:00.004-05:00

I haven't gone for my photo walk yet (thus this last summer image). I'm being very lazy this weekend and it feels great! I'm almost done with my blanket though. I'll show you soon. I'm pretty happy with the result.

This morning, I renewed some items in the our little shop. We are letting it live on its own, without paying much attention to it. So we were very pleased to see that someone bought this one the other day. T took it and it's one of my favorites in the shop.

I have a question for you guys. I'm a big fan of detective novels and I was wondering if you could recommend a good author or book. My favorite authors are Henning Mankell and Michael Connelly. I like some of Minette Walters's and some of Qiu Xiaolong's novels. I really liked the "Berlin Trilogy" from Philip Kerr and I always enjoy a good Herbert Lieberman. To me, the masterpiece of them all is "The Name of the Rose" from Umberto Eco. I hated the never ending "Girl with the Dragon Tattoo" trilogy and I profoundly hated the two books I read from R.J. Ellory. So anyway, I'm swimming in this kind of murder literature so if you have any hints, I would appreciate very much. Thanks!

Superb drawings

finally...

2012-01-14T10:11:00.004-05:00

Finally! It snowed... A lot! It is so beautiful outside, but really cold today. Will try to go out for a photowalk. But first, i need to go to the market and bring back stuff to make warming comfort food.

I should also finally finish a blanket I started last year. I'm pretty happy with the results. Plus it will be the perfect weekend to sunggle on the sofa!

What are your plans for the weekend?

snow storm...

2012-01-09T06:49:00.003-05:00

I said that I didn't take photos on my trip to Virginia but it's not really true. We left during a snow storm with lots of wind and very poor visibility. Of course, I had to document it...

Another week starting. I wish you a very good one.

Stunning landscapes

weekend...

2012-01-07T12:40:00.003-05:00

It's the weekend! Yay! I had a rather easy 3 days week but I'm happy to be off again. I don't have much scheduled, just relaxing and cooking. Reading hopefully too. I have such a great book right now. If you are curious, just see my sidebar. Every time I pick up a Findley's book, I am transported in a new captivating world. Love it!

The angel up here has nothing to do with anything. I just digged in my old photos and work on this one. I should post more old photos in the days to come. Winter is a very hard season for photo inspiration, especially if there is not too much snow. All is gray and harsh.

I hope to visit you all very soon. I find it so hard to be able to do everything I want to do with so little time. How time flies? I don't know. If you have a secret recipe to have more time on your hands that doesn't involve sleep deprivation, please let me know!

Meantime, I leave on this incredible wall paper.

back...

2012-01-04T07:36:00.002-05:00

I'm back home! The trip was great. Very relaxing if that is possible on a family visiting trip. No photos though. Now back to real life. I have to fly and go to work. Have a good end of week!

down south...

2011-12-28T09:02:00.005-05:00

There seem to be a new trend in my neighborhood: putting Christmas lights on the clotheslines...

I had very cozy days lately. It feels so good! It's been a while since I had time to read for many hours in a row. I love it!!!

Now I'm off for a little trip down South. Will go check if people hang their Christmas lights on the clotheslines in Washington DC. I'll keep you posted.

I wish you a very Happy New Year. Love, health and creativity!

2011-12-24T09:02:00.002-05:00

Wishing you the best holidays, full of good company, good food, good wine and good times!

bliss...

2011-12-23T08:56:00.001-05:00

Do you hear the angels sing? The harp and trumpets? I do. I'm on vacation!!! The last week at work was a lot smoother than the last months. We had a great Christmas party with colleagues and clients. I must say my bosses went overboard with the caterer. It was fantastic! Since I didn't not have much to do until next year, I decided to start my vacations earlier.

So now I'm off to buy food for tomorrow and Sunday. I'm happy for it is snowing right now. We may have a white Christmas after all!

I know the photos up here don't reflect the time of year but I haven't been shooting pictures much lately. These were taken after the first frost which makes interesting looking flowers.

So what are your plans for the holidays? Lots of celebration or quiet times? Traveling?

home...

2011-12-18T10:14:00.002-05:00

The plants I brought inside for winter are still looking good. They grow wild long stems and small leaves but I kind of like this wintery look. Speaking of winter, we are srill waiting for some snow. Hoping for a white Christmas. The good side of it though is that I'm still wearing my shoes!

As for my little fellow Sadou, he is getting so old. He's 16! He's getting thinner and thinner and acts a bit senile. But he still seems happy and he loves to cuddle more than ever. I try to saver every moment I can with him... just in case, you know...

2011-12-11T09:31:00.003-05:00

Wow! This working thing is getting out of hand. I brought work home for the weekend. Not good. It explains though why you don't see me around your blogs. I hope everything will resume to normal by the end of the week. See you then! In the mean time, I wish you a very good week.

p.s. I had a very cryptic anonymous comment here last night. I just want to say that from now on, any anonymous comment will be deleted unless the writer identifies him/her self by signing.

p.p.s can you see that I'm a bit cranky lately?

p.p.p.s lets leave on a nice link.

2011-12-05T06:36:00.002-05:00

When I visited Occupons Montréal, I had my old Nikon. So here are some more photos. The band was pretty good!

Fascinating

snail mail...

2011-12-04T13:47:00.003-05:00

Valérie sent me this fantastic package that promises to keep me warm all winter. I am sipping a cup of this deliciously fragrant tea and I wore the gloves to go to the market yesterday (it was pretty chilly compared to the last days). Merci Valérie !

market...

2011-12-03T09:13:00.002-05:00

We still have fall weather here. Winter doesn't seem to settle in yet. There are still some farmers at the market selling late crop, right next the Christmas tree sellers.

Speaking of Christmas, I think I should start thinking about it. But with this mild weather, it's hard to get in the mood. Are you in the Christmas mood yet?

occupy...

2011-11-26T09:27:00.002-05:00

A couple o weeks ago, we went to the Occupy Montreal site. I was surprised to see how organized they were. I was quite impressed by the kitchen-library-coffee shop-thrift store area, considering that there was no running water and no electricity, just a few solar panels. I was wondering if this movement will lead to something. Yesterday, the camp was dismantled by the city workers, people dispersed to their old lives... my question remains.

2011-11-19T09:37:00.002-05:00

This was taken only a couple of weeks ago. Now all is gone. We had our first snow flakes this week. It's getting cold here. But we had such a wonderful fall, warmer than normal, very sunny.

Beautiful

Wishing you a very good week.

Wishing you a superb weekend. Stay warm if you live on this side of the planet.

p.s. i just remembered a dream I had last night. I found very cheap tickets for... Kiev... by bus! Kind of a long way from Montreal!

pears and chestnuts...

2011-11-07T06:57:00.002-05:00

This morning I heard on the radio that we are about two to three weeks late in the season, for the second year in a row. Well even though it's a bad sign for global warming, I must say that it makes up for a beautiful fall and warmer days at the market...

On another note, as I write this, I'm having a very cuddly moment with my old cat :)

Have a good week!

grapes...

2011-11-04T07:42:00.002-04:00

TGIF!!! It's about time this week ends. Big rush at work topped with a bad cold. Can't wait to sleep in tomorrow morning!

What are your plans for the weekend?

En passant, si vous êtes à Montréal, il ne faut pas manquer l'Ouliposhow ! Génial !

outside in...

2011-11-01T07:15:00.005-04:00

Last weekend I brought the plants from the balconies inside the house. The place is now full of herbs and flowers. It looks really nice!

Two kids just saw Santa Claus. The look on their face!

I've decided to create a little NYC guide from my favorite addresses and from this great post, thanks to Victoria's readers. Now do you have favorites in NYC that I can add to my guide?

little shop update...

We have updated our little shop. You can get to the listing of each item by clicking on it.

I hope you are having a good weekend. Here the weather has been so gray and on the cool side that it calls for absolute cocooning. Which is fine with me!

2011-10-21T07:25:00.002-04:00

And I thought my little cucumbers would be too big to hang vertically...

Broken faces

daisies...

2011-10-18T08:04:00.002-04:00

One cannot say that my downstairs neighbor has a very green thumb (sorry J), but she planted these daisies last year and despite a very busy backyard with kids and cats running around, the daisies made it through this year, even stronger than last year!

lobster from the islands...

2011-10-17T07:36:00.002-04:00

Lobster season is over. It's oyster time now.

We had a rather cool and rainy weekend. I cooked all day yesterday. No oyster nor lobster though...

Wishing you a great week!

Leaving soon for a short trip to Ottawa to visit my uncle and aunt. We will have a Thanksgiving dinner there tonight. So happy Thanksgiving to all of you who are celebrating in Canada!

p.s. it is not Ottawa up there, it's Old Montreal.

2011-10-08T10:53:00.004-04:00

It's the wekend! Yay! Indian summer is at my door. I need to go out and enjoy the beautiful day!

Doing some research for a project, a colleague of mine stumbled upon this Flicker set. Wow!

sunset...

2011-10-04T07:32:00.002-04:00

It always feels good to find peace and quite after a big storm. It's been pretty crazy here lately. But right now, it seems to have all settled down. Hopefully it will stay that way for a while...

Fantastic sketchbook directly from London.

vanishing point...

2011-10-01T11:32:00.004-04:00

I'm fascinated by vanishing points. It's a basic optical phenomenon, yet I find it very intriguing. Maybe because it is so organized while life is usually so chaotic.

Fall is definitively here this morning with gray sky, blowing wind, leaves flying around and crude rain. Pretty chaotic in itself. Feels like staying home under the blankets with some cooking between naps... and browsing through whole larder love.

jammin'...

2011-09-25T11:42:00.001-04:00

Blueberry jam, ma few weeks ago. I find them so so good!

I love sketches, I and love these.

weekend...

2011-09-24T10:54:00.002-04:00

Ahhhh!!! It's the weekend! Feels so nice this morning. Against all odds, the sun is now shining, there is a warm breeze is blowing away the first yellow leaves. And I am browsing through my cookbooks, sipping my coffee. Divine!

Are you on Google+? I closed my Facebook account because I really hated it. But I didn't want to loose some of the old friends I made years ago on Myspace. So I opened a G+ account. So far, I only have 2 people in my circles. If you are interest to widen your circles, you can find me under nathalie et cetera.

Mean time, a very happy weekend to you!

cooking...

2011-09-16T07:31:00.005-04:00

It's Friday! Yay! Weather looks promising for the next 2 days so I will probably go for walks. And with the end of season, freshly cropped veggies are very hard to resist so I will probably do some cooking. I made this charred pepper and eggplant pesto a couple of weeks ago. Mmmm! And I fell in love with these can stickers. Aren't they gorgeous?

After the bees sting two weeks ago, last weekend was also shorten due to a very bad food poisoning. So I've been neglecting blogland but this weekend, I hope I will also find time to go visit you on your blog. Well I've been visiting, but didn't comment...

What about you, what are your plans for this weekend?

Gorgeous drawings.

embroidery...

2011-09-13T07:28:00.002-04:00

Captured a few weeks ago in little Italy. I'm always fascinated by how a series of clever knots can become so beautiful. And what about the gear they use to make them them. Superb!

2011-09-06T07:19:00.003-04:00

We had a long weekend, which was very welcome. I spent my Saturday at the emergency room for a week old bee sting. I'm fine now but it looked so ugly and it itched so much that I wanted to make sure it wasn't infected. The rest of the time. I mainly rested. It rained on and off yesterday and the temperature has dropped a lot. It starting to smell like fall...

Wishing you a very good week!

Kerry posted a few links from this web site: How to be a retronaut. Pretty funny.

I love the park around the corner. It's a little oasis from the city craziness.

This is a very welcome weekend. Will go in old Montreal for a little stroll, watch the tourists, enjoy the nice weather and have little snack... Wishing you a fantastic weekend! What are your plans? Whatever ever you do, stay away from Irena if you're on the East coast!

From my wanderings in Montreal... Not too many photos will be taken today. It's raining. It's okay, I have tons of paper work to take care of. Perfect day for that. How is your Sunday?

Where the children sleep, and for something lighter, take a peak at The Disciples.

Found on Sofamentol, the beautiful work of Vivians Sassen.

Wishing you a great weekend!

2011-08-16T07:31:00.003-04:00

Well, my first day at work went rather well, without any major crisis. Phew! I was happy to see my colleagues again. I must say, I work with very nice people.

For those of us who love sketchbooks, The Sketchbook Project. It should fill my craving for a while.

bye bye vacation...

2011-08-15T07:22:00.003-04:00

So here I am, just 90 minutes from starting work. I had the best of times. Very relaxing yet very filled. Wishing you a very good week!

p.s. This is not me :)

cucumbers...

2011-08-13T09:31:00.002-04:00

Who knew that a few cucumber plants would bring me so much joy. Every morning when I get up, I go see the progress. And what progress! I love to see the swirling things (how do you call them?) grab whatever comes under their grip. Five full grown cucumbers were already harvested (mmmm!) and at least seven more are coming up. What amazes me the most is that this is all happening on my third floor balcony.

My vacation ends tomorrow night. then it's back to work. I had a great a restful time. I actually spent the last week doing almost nothing but reading. A dream for me.

I hope you had, you are having or you will have great vacations. Enjoy the rest of summer, it goes by so fast!

last night...

2011-08-12T08:48:00.002-04:00

We spent our last night of vacation in this cute little cabin. The place was a nice break from all the touristic craziness.

I love little cabins but this one beats them all!

a little port & the beach...

2011-08-09T10:15:00.005-04:00

I made some crazy plans for this short trip. I wanted to go to Cape Cod AND Maine. So we ended up spending more time in the car than anywhere else, traveling from one place to another and then standing in traffic in overloaded tourist towns. But we manage to spend some time at the beach and take great walks.

Did you ever made crazy plans for your vacations?

back...

2011-08-08T10:03:00.001-04:00

I'm back from the south. First stop was Virginia. It was HOT! And humid as you can see on the second photo. So we decided to move a little bit north towards the ocean. Stay tuned.

going down south...

2011-07-30T07:25:00.004-04:00

This plant growing on an electric post brought a smile to me. Who did that? Maybe the same person who grows the Post Fruits (the little sculpture you see on the post).

On another note, it's time for me to be headed down south. Will be back soon. Have a great week end and a superb week!

2011-07-28T10:21:00.002-04:00

Last night is was France's turn to blow out Montreal's sky (Inernational Fireworks Competiton). Old Montreal is so pretty at night...

day 3...

2011-07-25T09:33:00.002-04:00

Hmmm! I don't know if I will take many photos during my vacation. We went for a 5 hours walk yesterday and only took 2 bad ones. I'm now running on past month's photos. Ah well, I may get my groove back soon...

Tough photo series. A bed and a key. Please ead the captions.

day 2...

2011-07-24T10:40:00.002-04:00

Day 2 of vacations. I already feel the benefits of getting up when my body says so instead of the alarm clock. It might be only one hour, but it's the best one!

We had a tough heat wave last week but today is gorgeous! Dry and fresh and sunny. So it will be a walk up the Mountain this afternoon and a barbecue tonight. Hopefully I'll take a few photos...

vacation...

2011-07-23T09:37:00.002-04:00

This is it. I'm finally on vacation for 3 weeks!!! I'm so happy. It's been a year since I started to work at this place and it's been one hell of a roller coaster. But I will forget about it for now and just enjoy the nice little breeze coming in from the door.

Have a great weekend. Will visit very soon!

1 dodo...

2011-07-21T07:09:00.001-04:00

last week...

2011-07-18T07:06:00.002-04:00

It's my last week of work before my vacations. It promises to be an intense one. I can't wait for it to be over! I hope you are all well. Have a very good week!

veggies...

2011-07-11T07:24:00.002-04:00

The other week, my downstairs neighbor friends were away. So I inherited their farmer's basket. The variety was incredible. I cooked a lot and made a fantastic basil pesto and a scape pesto which I haven't tasted yet.

We are having a superb summer here and it takes me away from the computer and blogging. I hope you're having a good time. I'll visit soon!

cameras...

2011-07-07T07:25:00.001-04:00

More of the garage sale. A paradise for camera collectors!

garage sale,,,

2011-07-05T06:24:00.002-04:00

Heading for a walk downtown, this garage sale stopped me in my tracks. So many items caught my attention. It was very hard to resist.

jammin!...

2011-07-04T07:36:00.003-04:00

Despite the crazy days at work, I had two 3 days weekends in a row during which I enjoyed summer as much as possible. I just love this time of year when every week, every day even, brings a new crop. This year is very good for strawberries. They are the best I had in years. The jam I made is so fragrant! Mmmm!

This is something I really want to watch.

joy...

2011-07-02T11:59:00.001-04:00

I'm enjoying this beautiful day so much! The neighbors are away, the landlady lost her phone and the sun is shining! Will go for a walk this afternoon. Enjoy your weekend!

revisiting...

2011-07-01T11:29:00.002-04:00

Revisiting an old photo...

Yes I'm still alive. I had another crazy week at work and never got enough sleep. I was happy to have another 3 days weekend (it's Canada Day) but my landlady woke me up at 8:o0 this morning and I have a pair of young neighbors who like to party a lot. How they love their music loud. Very loud! Ah well, lets hope I can make up for lost sleep in the next 2 days...

What have you been up to lately? How is summer (or winter) in your part of the world? Here crops are blooming madly. I'll show you some images soon. Wishing you a very good weekend!

flowers...

2011-06-25T12:45:00.002-04:00

Last week we had a special dinner with friends and family. My friend M brought these beautiful flowers from her garden. Even Romeo, my niece's cat, loved them.

I love this!

magnolia and some sun...

2011-05-29T09:21:00.002-04:00

A couple of weeks ago, on a rare sunny morning, I got up early and went to visit one of my favorite neighbor. He getting more and more beautiful each year. Up here, magnolias don't grow very well because of the cold weather, but I think this one found a great home to grow.

On another note, a friend of mine sent me this fantastic link. Coucou Monique !

These are my last B&W photos. This blog resume to its usual state by tomorrow.

Speaiking of blogs, there are of course many popular photo blogs on the web. But lately, I particularly enjoy Sarapirat's blog. I really like how she presents her photos. She doesn't always have a theme, but her photos always relate to each other in a very simple way.

Taken last winter.

And today is Friday!!! Yay! We had a 4 days week but I've worked my 5 days anyway. Can't wait for a nice weekend. Will plant herbs and flowers on the balcony and make it a bit more cozy.

What are your plans for this weekend?

Spring is finally here for real! The sky is still gray, but at least the temperature is higher. And all this rain made everything bloom really fast and everything is green now. And what do I come up with? Black & white photos! Some of the photos were even taken during winter! In French we say "avoir l'esprit de contradiction", meaning something like "liking to contradict". Yep! that's me!

I find taking B&W photos to be difficult, having to concentrate on the contrasts instead of on the colors. But I found this very old film in T photo bag and wanted to use it anyway. I'm kinda happy with the results, I thought they would be a lot worst than what came out. I'll show you more in the days to come.

Today is a holiday so I will enjoy my day: repotting house plants, reading, relaxing and have a coffee with Line later this afternoon.

Wishing you a great week!

recipe...

2011-05-21T09:21:00.003-04:00

Oh what a week! So much to do at work! Plus, the kitchen water has been cut off since Friday of last week. Very very annoying, especially in the morning when I have to run from the kitchen to the bath room about 50 times, doubling my morning routine time. It's hard not to be late. Fortunately, we have a 3 days weekend which is vey welcome.

At work, I developed a Photoshop recipe to treat old black and white building photos in order to print them in a very large scale. These buildings will be use to do a muck up 2D street. I think it's going to look pretty cool. We've printed a part of one of those buildings and the result is pretty cool. From afar, it looks like a real building, and up close, it looks more graphic.

Anyway, I wanted to try this recipe on one of my photos with a little extra twist.

Speaking of recipe, I find this one hilarious!

Update: I just saw this image on a pc. it looks like crap!

Later: woops! I think there was a glitch. :)

where is the sun...

2011-05-16T07:31:00.002-04:00

It's been raining all weekend and it is still raining. It's cold and wet and windy. A day to stay in bed.

Wishing you a good one with lots of sun. If you can spare some, sand it this way!

desktop of the month...

2011-05-15T11:00:00.002-04:00

I completely forgot about the desktop of the month! Well the participation wasn't very high so I guess I didn't feel much pressure. But Sarapirat didn't forget and posted one. So I decided to accompany her. It's not too late to participate if you're interested. Here is how. If there is no increase in the participation to this project, this will be the last desktop of the month. It will have lasted 3 big months. :)

new week...

2011-05-09T06:55:00.002-04:00

I got up at 6 this morning thinking it was 7. I feel I didn't get enough sleep... But, the sun is shining (that's what fooled me, and the fact that I added an hour to the alarm clock by Mistake) and it should shine for the next days. Yay!

I hope you have a great week!

market...

2011-05-08T12:04:00.002-04:00

So we had 6 days of rain and gray sky in a row. The sun is finally out today and the market is now starting to fill with gardeners. I will still wait a couple of weeks before planting anything on the balcony. You never know with the weather here...

I want to wish happy mother's day to all of you who have the pleasure to be one.

I once linked to one of Colossal posts. Here is another great one. Actually, it's a great blog all around!

About Etsy...

2011-05-07T08:55:00.004-04:00

As I told you before, we reopened our Etsy shop last week. It makes me rediscover this place. And we listed these polaroids this morning.

I love our they improved the whole experience. And I've became addicted to treasury making. A good activity for raining days.

And did we have rainy days in the last month!!! I have a huge craving for sunshine! It came out yesterday, but by the time I finished working, it started to rain again. Oh, I see some blue in the sky as I write this. I should go get prepared to go out.

What are your plans for the weekend? I hope you have a great one and that the sun shines for you!
