Our friend
Emily, who is a magnificent embroiderer, pried herself away from daughter and hubby and hoped on ViaRail to spend a few days with us. We haven't seen her since we moved away a few months ago and she was a welcome sight. After catching-up on our deck and a brief night's sleep we rose to watch the birds bickering over their breakfast seed in our feeders while eating our omelette and planning the days adventures. We started the day walking along the Talbot Trail (part of the
Trans Canada Trail) to
City Coffee and the
Library, before heading to the Beanery for some lunch (yumm). Emily gave us two lovely gifts; a hand-embroidered button for each of us - I got a kitten face and Neil got his favourite little blue briefs. Her studio in the
Distillery District in Toronto is heaven for anyone who loves embroidery - we have some of her napkins and rings, a pillow and one of her incredible stitched forest "paintings". We've been fortunate to give many friends her baby gift-sets and lavender sachets. Thanks Em!
