The Beach - Toronto

yesterday I was lucky to get a tour around the area The Beach in Toronto from Tracey

it is an area East of the city and I had a wonderful visit

with all the delicious treats and wonderful time together, I felt like celebrating my birthday!

I hope you are ready for a sweet and colorful report...


Tracey first showed me a fantastic cupcake house Life is Sweet


absolutely delicious homemade cupcakes

and beautiful warm accessories from the HoneyBea DesignHive


we went to her beautiful and light house, where I felt right at home

the light colors remembered me of our apartment in Amsterdam


if you know Tracey's blog Helana and Ali, you will know about the beautiful felt creations she makes

they were everywhere and so pretty in real life


after that, as if this all was not enough yet, we went to Bobette & Belle

it is one of those places where everything is pretty and delicious


we enjoyed the macaroons to the max

and decided we both have to get married again, to have an excuse to order one of these pretty cakes

~ to the same guys, that is ~


how is that for a quote

~ enjoy and let them eat cake ~ 


such a wonderful place to sit and drink tea with a sweet treat


the weather was beautiful

we walked along Queen Street East and took a look at vintage shops in the neighbourhood Leslieville


beautiful city parks along Queen Street

and a wonderful fabric shop macFAB where fabric was 50% off


so here I am at home

with a box full of super delicious cupcakes

beautiful fabrics on my table and my mind full of wonderful memories to a fantastic day


and I am happy and thankful to be able to share this beauty with you!

how is your week going so far?

  2. Hi Maaike,

    I love the photo's and the vintage shops are great.
    jammer dat alles zo ver weg is...
    Wat was het vanmiddag gezellig, je moeder was in de winkel en ze vertelde dat zij binnenkort naar je toe komt, HOW GREAT!
    Jij vermaakt je prima zo te zien en ik ga je volgen anders moet ik straks weer aan je moeder de naam van je blog vragen!
    Geniet straks van elkaar en tot de volgende keer.

    Groetjes van Jayne (de Zinkenviool)

  5. How I wish I could have joined you. Your day out seemed to be one of the greatest ever!!! Look at that floral fabric with bright pink and greens... Is that a Michael Miller? I think I've spotted it somewhere online... Right up my alley. Aaaaaahhh, lets have cake. Now I am off to work followed by another weekend skiing. That is not to bad either. :D

  11. What a gorgeous day! I love how the flowers on the cake flows right into the bouquet of flowers in the same color. And all the buildings are beautiful, filled with bright clean light.
