Last night we had our first significant snowfall this winter. My husband was out early shovelling the snow on our side and over at the neighbours on the opposite side of the street.

The mural, “trompe l’oeil”, is on the back of the Gooderham Building or more commonly known as the Flatiron Building. It appears to be a canvas screwed onto the façade with the edges of the canvas fluttering in the wind.
The Gooderham Building, is located on the wedge shaped corner of Wellington East, Front, and Scott Streets and was built in 1891. It was owned by George Gooderham who owned numerous properties throughout the city, including the Gooderham Distillery. He was one of the richest men in Canada and yet was relatively unknown.
…yesterday at Montgomery’s Inn I picked up a few fun items for gifts and for myself
The first two photos are trios of my paper trees and the rest are things I bought throughout the day.
Trio of felted items made by my talented friend, Barb H. A trio of tin trees made by mu baking friend, Dale (husband to Barb H.)Stars, also made by Dale. He said the tin came from an old chicken coop.
