New city, old habits! Love discovering little gems around town. After stalking @thymestudio for months, I finally landed at their lovable little store at @stacktmarket to get some dried flowers for our new apartment (still on campus.. now on to our third house this year). Showing you around the store in today’s stories. Can also be found under the “Toronto” highlight.

⁣Right? 🍦 ⠀
⠀
Anyone here who’s NOT an ice cream fan? I could use the company 🤷🏻‍♀️ (unless on specific occasions and in very select places) ⠀

⁣Spotted this endearing little cottage, hidden behind saplings and shrubs while strolling along a busy street. ⠀
⠀
Set in a picturesque clearing- right next to the road but somehow blissfully at peace- it reminds me of every cottage I’ve ever dreamt of! ⠀
⠀
There’s something so inviting about a lived-in old house with a porch and a rocking chair under a string of twinkling soft lights ✨ ...

The randomness of travel, perfectly captured in this picture. This coffee shop was discovered accidentally while stopping to grab one for the road.

We were wandering without a plan in Muskoka last fall (in search of a liquor store tbvh) when we came across this quaint little store-café. Stopped by to pick an almond roast and carrot cinnamon muffin- and were surprised to find this little treasure.

This place is a little off Muskoka, in a tiny town called Port Severn. The small shop was full of antiques, ornaments and all kinds of beautiful memorabilia, coffee/tea themed collectibles and the dearest, most charming corner I ever set my eyes on.

Syrups, jams, coasters, candles, essential oils, wooden signs.. all the ingredients that a cozy corner make. ☕️ Location: Severn Mills Coffee Cabin @severnmillscoffeecabin

⁣Wine tasting in Niagara a couple weekends ago 🍷 If you’re wondering whether it’s safe to go, here are some precautions we observed during our visit:⠀
⠀
Wine tasting is usually by appointment only, so only a few people are allowed inside at a time⠀
Tables allow only a maximum of 4 people at one table, so if you’re a larger group, you might need to split up⠀
All servers are wearing either masks- or more frequently, visors ⠀
Washrooms are cleaned thoroughly, tables are sanitized ⠀
There are sanitizers at the entrance for you to use before you enter ⠀
⠀
Whether that’s enough or not, I’m not certain. I think a large part of precaution needs to be observed on our end, of course. But we found that most places had executed safety standards rather well! @pellerwines

Found an indie bookstore yesterday and bought a crisp new book. Just in time for really great weather! Anyone else love smelling new books or it just me 😬⠀

⁣Welcome to #NorthYork where I live on the @yorkuniversity campus. In the past 9 months since I’ve been here, we’ve sufficiently explored all pubs within a 5-mile radius. Which brings me to Covid and the summer- and my long lost love for picnics under the sun. ⠀
⠀
In need of a change within Uber-able distance, we showed up at West Humber Parkland at a friend’s suggestion. It’s a biking trailer with a river running through and a pond at the end of the road. Spent the entire day soaking up some sun and vegetating by the river. ⠀
⠀
9 months of windy Toronto later, we couldn’t believe our luck. ⠀
⠀
Then the air con stopped working. ⠀ ⠀

⁣Found the fluffiest Japanese Soufflé Pancakes at Kingston Market sometime ago. Wandering without a clue among the graffiti-walled, narrow lanes of this hip market was one of my favourite days discovering a new place around town. ⠀
⠀
I hadn’t stepped into @hanabusacafe by chance, nor through a recommendation I found on any travel websites. I saw it on Instagram and was taken in a second. Dragged a friend across town to get here and IT.WAS.WORTH.IT! ⠀
⠀
They have a select few items on the menu that taste as delectable as they look. It’s a tiny hole-in-the-wall cafe that is so daaamn cute. ⠀
⠀
Field day for Instagrammers, foodies and anyone with a sweet tooth! ⠀

⁣The campus haunted house 🏚 (or so we call it) sits along the road that leads to the pond, although veiled by trees and bushes. ⠀
⠀
Also visible from our house, and though I’ve never seen a soul anywhere around it, the lights are sometimes switched on late evening. ⠀
⠀
For months I wondered what the sign at the entrance of the house meant (it’s in Swedish), thinking it might prohibit us from entering. ⠀
⠀
Turns out it’s a prayer hall.⠀
