I WANNA live there Wednesday # 80

Good morning everyone !

Well we're back in Westmount ( the neighborhood we just moved from )
You can take the girl out of the city but you just can't take the city out of the girl -

This week I thought I'd showcase an apartment for sell there - turn of the century apartment of course :)

Here we go !!!

645,000
3 beds 1 bath
Built in 1906
Realtor: PIERRE BRUNET & ANNE GASCON


I love how these apartments have the same architectural details as the homes of that period - the moldings on this ceiling are just beautiful !!!



Beautiful Bay Window










The entry and hall just tug at my heart - LOVE !!!  The current house we're in is the probably the first time in my life I have NOT had a long narrow hallway - which are very common in Montreal city flats.............









I know apartment living isn't for everyone - but this one?  Steps away from beautiful boutiques and  restaurants?  I could - I definitely could !!!

Have a wonderful Wednesday all ♥

Hugs,

Party time !!!

Red skies at morning

and John is still snoring



John yells out - What are you doing thumping up and down the stairs?
Suzan says - I DON'T thump - I gently ran downstairs to take a picture of the sky - you have to see this - it's just magnificent
John says - What time is it?
Suzan says - It's 4.56
John says - WHAT???????????????????
John says - you ran out in your nightgown at 5 in the morning to take photos?
Suzan says - Yes - because within minutes it vanishes
Suzan says - You see, now you've missed it................


John says - I'll take your word for it......................
John says - And the next time I see you snoring away with your gob wide open I'm going to run around the house moving furniture and running in and out with the back door slamming - and
Suzan interrupts - You really should start a blog you know.

I do not snore -
I do not have a gob - I have a mouth - and it remains closed when I sleep
I'm pretty sure about that.

The lilacs are starting to bloom


love the color of this one !


especially as it tucks into the old ladder


Does anyone know what type of tree this is?  They look like miniature pom poms !


I received a package in the mail last week from Kris at Junk Chic Cottage - I'm sure you all know who I'm talking about - the Queen of Shabby?  If you don't know her - please do yourself a favor and drop in for a visit - be prepared to be there awhile because her blog is as bad as pinterest ( you all know I mean that as the ultimate compliment, right? ) Shabby chic perfection !!!


Here's what she sent me !!!


This is the prettiest whimsical tote - and it's MINE !!!
Kris said it made her think of Soda & I - Soda's holding my paintbrush for me - how adorable !!!


There's writing on the inside - it reads..................


and that's not all - OMG - that's not all - look what she put in that package !!!


Oh Kris - I can't tell you how thrilled and touched I was by this over the top generous gift

John says - Why do people keep sending you presents?
John says - AND WHY DO YOU CRY EVERY SINGLE TIME THEY DO?
Suzan says - clutching a paintbrush like a microphone - BECAUSE, JOHN " They like me - They really really like me !!! "

( I don't have to explain that line, do I lol ? )

Blogging has been a blessing that was bestowed upon me - plain and simple - the friendships made - the laughter shared - the inspiration gained - I can think of no other word than what it is - a blessing.

Red skies,
Lilacs
And precious gifts from afar........................

Some days you could almost burst with happiness - and you think to yourself
What a wonderful world.

Much love,
L'artiste et sa muse
( AKA Suzan )
