From celebs at TIFF to the opening of our favourite yummy-smelling store, we can’t help but notice the recent presence of our neighbour to the south…
Not that we’re complaining; especially now that Crate & Barrel has followed suit and opened its first Canadian retail location at Yorkdale Mall.
The 35,000 square foot store was stocked with fabulous finds, but it was easy to start filling our shopping basket once we spied the Marimekko-inspired vintage-printed Joonas pillows ($65) and the leafy-silhouetted Mist line of dinnerware ($9 and up). Then it was onto mood lighting. The decision between the lovely Kavali Hammered Candlesticks ($40) and Anya Candleholders ($30) was too tough, so in the end we bought both.
The pièce de résistance (of our first visit at least) was the stunning and antique-looking Taka Side Trunk ($349) that will conveniently house our Fall-inspired buys (like the Pumpkin Server, $40) once the season is over.
At this rate, our passports are about to start gathering dust…
