All these trios came from my 2016 archives but one photo is clearly over 40 years old. Can you pick out which one it is?

The Most Beautiful Doors in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Posted on January 22, 2026 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Dan for hosting Thursday Doors https://nofacilities.com/2026/01/22/the-greek-room/

Niagara-on-the-Lake is a quaint village full of old world architecture. The Main Street is full of charming gift shops, retro and designer clothing stores, hat shops, confectionary stores, cozy coffee shops, old theatres, Christmas shops, a variety of restaurants and pubs and high end renovated inns and spas.

In January many stores are closed for the season or have limited hours. Luckily we found enough places to explore and enjoy but some of our favourite walks took place through the neighbourhood close to our hotel. This is where we found some amazing doors.

When the temperature is too cold for a walk or taking your gloves off to take a photo, the next best option is to look for objects around the house to zoom in on.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Journal

Posted on January 17, 2026 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Sue W and Gerry C for hostting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2026/01/17/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-journal/

Before Christmas I treated myself to a brand new journal. I purchased it at the Holiday Market from a lovely woman who makes these journals by hand. Each one was different, using a variety of papers and fabric. My husband gifted me a beautiful Lamy fountain pen so I’ve been experimenting with it in this book. To be honest with you I’m very bad at keeping journals going for more than a month but because of its small size I can see carrying it around with me and taking it with me when I travel. My goal is not to tackle it every day but to at least open it once a week or when I’m inspired to add something to it.
