BEAUTY IN UNEXPECTED PLACES

A few weeks ago, I was shooting portrait photos at Brookfield Place in the financial district of Toronto. There was a courtyard at the side of the building that I had never been to before. I noticed a little entrance way that is tucked behind an elevated platform of trees and plants. I walked up the steps and found a circular man made pond filled with lotus leaves and a single pink lotus flower. I was stunned that such a beautiful place was hidden amongst the city! You never know what you will find when you go explore…

#CAMPAIGNFORWOOL AT HOLT RENFREW TORONTO

My first entrepreneurial venture was in the yarn trade. I imported alpaca yarns from Peru. I still love textiles made from natural fibres and I think it’s important for consumers to understand its true beauty. Line Knitwear and Holt Renfrew in Toronto teamed up to spread the awareness with its #CampaignForWool event where models demonstrated the fibre arts. A model was spinning magenta pink roving into yarn, while another was knitting while lounging on a giant knit chair. Wool fibres are warner than synthetics because they insulate heat while, as well as being breathable. They wash well and last a long time, making it worthwhile investment pieces.

By the way, I still sell my collection of luxury knitting yarns, Fable Handknit. Check them out here.
