Had a great little lunch with my friend Carla yesterday and on my way home, walking up Dufferin street, I came across this beat up cupboard on the side of the road. Crazy thing is that it's the exact colour of the side screen porch that was once part of my cottage. I loved that porch. I remember being really young, sitting cross-legged in the corner, reading on a hot day and the feel of the breeze as it hit the back of my neck. Even the peeling-ness of the paint had me feeling nostalgic— the paint on the porch was also peeling because it was thirty years old when my parents tore it down. But that mint-green-blue colour? It just reminds me of that time.
In other news...I got new shoes yesterday, for $20! I'm hoping I don't hate them in a couple weeks. Does anyone else do this? Try shoes on and love them in the store and then, within a couple weeks, hate them? It's happened to me a few times, but of course I continue to wear the shoes because I don't have money for new ones/I think it's wasteful to buy new ones.
Anyway. I'll keep you posted on this FASCINATING news...
