A big "Thank You" to all of you who visited Crumb Designs at the One of a Kind Show in Toronto, and the Originals Show in Ottawa. This was my first time bringing Crumb to Ottawa. What a treat! I look forward to coming back to Ottawa very soon! Here are some pictures from the Originals show.
After my sweetie and I moved out of the show on Sunday night, we scooted over to the Elgin Street Diner for a pint and plate of poutine. Oh YUM! It was so delicious and I was completely stuffed. Needless to say, I slept like a baby that night.
The next day, before heading back to Mississauga, my sweetie and I spent a day doing the tourist stuff. Last time we visited, we went to the Art Gallery. This time we decided to go on a guided tour of the Mint, which was very cool. After that, we took a stroll across the bridge to Gatineau. We really wanted to go to the Museum of Civilization, but it was closed...it was Monday. Next time!
This is too cool! The buses in Ottawa are decorated like the Canadian flag!
While we were waiting for the 1pm tour of the Mint, I visited the most beautiful bookstore, Nicholas Hoare. With Classical music playing in the background, beautifully polished wooden book shelves, and a gorgeous wooden ladder that rolls across the shelves...I could spend awhile in that store.
And of course, I could not finish this post off without some tulips. I took this picture at the park right by the Art Gallery of Ottawa. The display of tulips and daffodils in Ottawa are so beautiful. I wish I could be there for the Tulip Festival. Perhaps next year!
