Spring...is it really here?

Spring. 

Waiting for the sunshine,

for the flowers to start growing,

for patio weather

and maxi dress days.

Spring also means the start of some 

of my favourite antique markets.

Despite the cool temperature

and just a little sprinkling of rain

I had a amazing pre mothers day shopping.

Although I love strolling the mall,

dreaming on Bloor

and surfing the internet for finds from far away places

Nothing is more fun than finding a hidden gem.

memories of days gone by,

real vintage,

valuables to treasure for years to come.

Antiquing.

I love it.

Sun - 

come out next time.

Maxi dress, flip flop couture and hair in a bun. (next time!)

Rainboots, jeans, sweater and scarf were in order for this weekends fun.

Step back in time

A weekend stay at the historic
King Edward hotel in Toronto.

Coming from London, England
A country built on history
beautiful buildings,
little streets which lead
to well
places undiscovered.
Navigating through Toronto
always felt a lifetime away
from my hometown days.

That is until I stepped through the doors of The king Edward.
Draped in history,
soaring ceilings
architectural detail
a feeling of a world gone by.
Serving afternoon tea
with no breaks from tradition.
A ballroom fit for a regal affair.
A step back in time
that created memories
fit for the future.

Midnight

Midnight.
A year of living, loving, dreaming
doing.
Yes.
Doing.
Each day we wake up and we "do" things.
Whether we realise what we are doing or not
in so many ways what we do
affects others,
maybe affects you?

Brush your teeth and turn off the running water
we together conserve clean water supply for the world we share.
Throw a can in a recycling bin
together we help reuse, reduce, recycle waste
helping make our world more sustainable.
Walking down the street, and looking someone in the eye and saying
"good morning"
Verbal words often lost in our electronic days.

As I reflect on the year that is ending
it is hard to believe all that I were doing.
What started as a New Years dream,
some words on a computer screen
Simply Sienna begun.

I have had the opportunity to "do" things
before I only imagined.
To meet people I never knew
but now am happier for knowing. 
Pictures on a facebook page are a memory of what was done,
but I have a heart filled with thanks and gratitude
for all the doing.

Resolution?
New Year.
I just want to keep on living,
this miracle we call
LIFE.

How about you?

Happy New Year!
With love
~x~
