<br />
I am a huge coffee drinker. Though I love my coffee I keep it to one BIG cup in the mornings and that's it. With these rainy afternoons hanging around I'm finding comfort and happiness in my big mug of Forever Nuts tea, by <a href="http://www.davidstea.com/top-sellers/forever-nuts">David's Tea</a>.<br />
<br />

Here's the description, try not to drool:<br />
<br />
<h4><i>For almond lovers</i></h4><div class="product-specs"><i> It looks all normal when it’s loose. But steep it and you’ll see that it’s nuts. Within seconds, this tempting jumble of almond slices and chunks, apple bits and cinnamon bark starts turning a crazy shade of pink. Why? Because it contains a hint of beetroot. That’s what gives this rich almond tea its earthy depth and its all-natural signature colour. Deliciously nutty, decidedly addictive. </i></div><div class="product-specs"></div><div class="product-specs">Personally I don't taste almond at all. But what I do taste is the greatest oatmeal apple cinnamon cookie I've ever had. It reminds me of the cookies my mom used to make us, the ones I've occasionally baked just to smell that smell again, and feel like a little kid. I've blasted through this first tin of tea and I'll be back this week for more. 100 grams + handy tin costs just $13.00, less than the cost of my coffee for a week.</div><div class="product-specs"><br />
</div><div class="product-specs">Thanks, <a href="http://www.davidstea.com/">David's Tea</a>, for bringing this explosively delicious drink to my happy place.</div><div class="product-specs"><br />

Vera is my new <a href="http://www.vela.ca/index/home.html">Vela</a> folding bike, and she's a dream.<br />
<br />
I've got my bike pump, locks (yep, I've decided to stamp it, double lock it...) lights, I'm getting there. I still need a helmet (which I've been very picky about, hence no helmet yet) and I've been waiting for my basket to arrive.<br />
<br />
Because I have a folding bike, and that includes the handle bars, I can't have a basket on the front. Which is spectacular, because otherwise I would not have found this beautiful gem<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.233283722.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="213px" j8="true" src="http://ny-image2.etsy.com/il_570xN.233283722.jpg" width="320px" /></a></div>Okay, take a minute to compose yourself and get over the adorableness. This is a handmade special, made by Laurie Macpherson of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/abasketfull?ref=pr_shop_more">Abasketfull</a> on <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">ETSY</a>. The price is so incredibly reasonable. If you are in need of a new basket you will visit and revisit this listing and eventually have to have one of your own. <br />
<br />
I was also really pleased to support a handmade sale from a fellow Canadian.<br />
<br />
Three cheers for Laurie and her contribution to my bike's supreme cuteness this summer! Pics to come when I have her dressed and ready for the world.<br />
<br />
yours truly,<br />

Mountain air, and a change of scene. That does a heart good.<br />
<br />
For those around on March 26th and 27th don't not even think about missing the season opener, two-day extravaganza, <a href="http://www.portobellowest.com/?location=van">Portobello West Market</a>. Doors open at 11, admission is $2. Fantastic vendors dishing handmade wares. Love it.<br />
<br />
P.S, They've moved! Change is good, it breathes new life into the dusty corners. You'll find the 2011 Portobello West Market at the <a href="http://www.portobellowest.com/?location=van&pageName=Where">Creekside Community Recreation Centre</a> in the Olympic Village by False Creek. Be there or be square.<br />
<br />
In my lunch-time Etsy meanderings today I came across this fantastic print, I think I might <i>need</i> it...<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Oh, and who else is sockless in Toronto today? Feels dang good to slip on some flats a go.

I love this amazing summer we're having here in Toronto, but I'm ready to see that Tim Horton's commercial. You know the one, right? The one where everyone starts freaking out as the leaves start to fall. That one.<br />
<br />
Already on the prowl for my Fall go-to shoes and I think I know what I need. More on that later once I make up my mind.<br />
<br />
Fall knits - sneak peek - next week. <br />

The treasury is entitled <a href="http://www.etsy.com/treasury/4c481d4dea5f8eef67daca42/weekend-in-the-mountains">"Weekend in the Mountains"</a><br />
Someone, <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/ilgattoselvatico">il gatto selvatico</a>, has taken the time to dream up a theme, sort through all of Etsy to come up with just the right assortment of complimentary items, and assemble them as a group of artistic pieces to share with Etsy sellers and shoppers alike. <br />
<br />
This is one of my favourite things about Etsy. Penelope, aka il gatto selvatico, does not know me. She's all the way over there in Rome, creating her own beautiful works like her custom <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/50663189/custom-country-necklace">country necklace</a>, and <a href="http://www.etsy.com/listing/40472830/sale-indian-princess-fleather-earrings">indian princess fleather earrings</a>, working as hard as anyone else on Etsy to promote her own work. And while she is doing this, she takes the time to put together a collection of other people's work, to show and share the skills and expertise of others.<br />
<br />
Thanks Penelope!<br />
<br />
yours truly,<br />

<a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/LoveandKnit?ref=seller_info">love and knit</a> is an independent designer creating bright, adventurous knits from Istanbul. I just purchased this gorgeous pink, red, and brown cashmere cowl neck for a very, very reasonable price and I'm so excited to receive it.<br />
<br />
One of the fantastic things about <a href="http://www.etsy.com/">Etsy</a> is that designers from all over the world are creating and selling for every season, all year round.<br />
<br />
Just because it isn't cool outside yet doesn't mean I can't get a jump-start on fall accessories. The early bird gets the worm, right? In my case, the worm is this luscious cashmere neckwarmer.<br />
<i><b><br />

<i><b>Accessory lovers tip:</b></i> it never hurts to buy out of season. treasures are out there begging to be found.<br />

Being at home to leisurly enjoy my coffee on the balcony isn't too shabby either.<br /><br />Photos soon.<br /><br />ALSO...stayed tuned for an announcement on Moonlight for Violet's newest promotion, "Monday Madness".<br /><br />yours truly,<br /><br />Moonlight for VioletMoonlight for Violethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15918799261919790614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509147295278164297.post-41545258578914952952010-06-15T19:27:00.000-04:002010-06-15T19:42:57.594-04:00What did I miss?Holy jumpin gang!<br /><br />Moonlight for Violet has been off the grid.

Who knew time could pass by so quickly? Must have been having way too much fun I suppose.<br /><br />I'm not sure where you live, but here in Toronto we thought we might get away with little to zero winter this year, but as it turned out, the snow clouds made their way here yesterday. It was a very pretty sight, one we've seen only a handful of times since December, and it made it a little bit harder for me to think about spring and summer collections.<br />If you know me at all, you can attest to the fact that I tend to favour seasons that require layers. I'm not completely sure if that's a temperature or a style preference, it's probably a little bit of both.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><div style="text-align: left;">Without further ado, here are a few of the new sweeties from the Moonlight for Violet garden for spring & summer:<br /><br /><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYEksMDK3hhBGM35QFWfserTeVZp0j3aSWseiuRT1bl8fu1ZgE64MbK3NQnrXtFGPhgzIUxLJALhrX0avF6Dd1m6tvtNaRT1qFXuwOQpWXEpCt5ptA4H9vURNl1jWAuXaTPxzF8UNEaM/s1600-h/Feb+10+107.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWYEksMDK3hhBGM35QFWfserTeVZp0j3aSWseiuRT1bl8fu1ZgE64MbK3NQnrXtFGPhgzIUxLJALhrX0avF6Dd1m6tvtNaRT1qFXuwOQpWXEpCt5ptA4H9vURNl1jWAuXaTPxzF8UNEaM/s200/Feb+10+107.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441449641330074754" border="0" /></a>Gorgeous little budding branches in silver and gold<br /><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ARUHT6aBkU8RrmnUAhW1YfQZAOB8hFqii5PkqknlooCGpAxInDeO23PiON6X9rSqHXOwckFVggedoZQ-sH_6omph-cttFcAl3ks3w-Bc6WKlRVstVWdTeRU4m2JtmFdJEsp9ERSspbA/s1600-h/Feb+10+121.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 150px; height: 200px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj4ARUHT6aBkU8RrmnUAhW1YfQZAOB8hFqii5PkqknlooCGpAxInDeO23PiON6X9rSqHXOwckFVggedoZQ-sH_6omph-cttFcAl3ks3w-Bc6WKlRVstVWdTeRU4m2JtmFdJEsp9ERSspbA/s200/Feb+10+121.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441450811957370098" border="0" /></a><br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: center;">These are teeny-tiny tundra sapphire faceted rondelles - so sparkly and fresh!<br /></div></div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVMxII8oPDmHWuJYKaEyWq1spfK1-mwgQshz40xoWkhNTiD52xY-OiYEw8XF1OWivJ_n3bmAoTczG3gTt0fjoEmNOF5_N0PVwdrm3bqYKTJSbyyd96eC33S2FjDOHdO2z2rTb8E-dKX4/s1600-h/Feb+10+113.jpg"><img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhZVMxII8oPDmHWuJYKaEyWq1spfK1-mwgQshz40xoWkhNTiD52xY-OiYEw8XF1OWivJ_n3bmAoTczG3gTt0fjoEmNOF5_N0PVwdrm3bqYKTJSbyyd96eC33S2FjDOHdO2z2rTb8E-dKX4/s200/Feb+10+113.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5441449644083661938" border="0" /></a><br />I really like the shape of these branches and the tundra sapphires compliment them nicely.<br /><br /><div style="text-align: left;">There will be much more to follow, a few new seasonal collections to suite the many whims of the Moonlight for Violet lover.<br /><br />Talk to you soon.<br /><br />Yours truly,<br /><br />Moonlight for Violet<br /></div></div>Moonlight for Violethttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15918799261919790614noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5509147295278164297.post-44985903379753141142009-10-17T22:07:00.000-04:002009-10-17T22:31:56.924-04:00October MoonlightTime flys...<br /><br />I has been nearly a month since the last Moonlight for Violet update.
