Re: Fave Hot Diggity Dog ! Gourmet Hot Dogs at Bu

I've had two friends work there since they opened in the summer, and I keep meaning to go, but every time I walk by I seem to have just eaten. And since I've been trying to eat mostly local food for about 14 months now, the concept had me from the beginning. I also recently that the original Buddha Dog was out in Picton or something - out in Prince Edward County, a place I keep meaning to visit for a foodie tour. I'm putting it on my list for this weekend. That settles it.

Tiles

Tiles Plus

Tiles Plus is my fave place to get tiles plus so much more. They have wide variety of imported tiles from Spain.Faucets,bath tubs, Toto toilets which have heated seats! Current,chic and very unique. One of my new loves is the large 17.5" x 35" coloured glass tiles that is very European and looks so fantastic on walls.Also huge right now is tile with large prints.This creates a stunning mosaic but not the chessy kind with tiny little individual tiles.Big prints,big tiles,big YES!

A unique way to beef up a photo frame is to use one of these great natural wooden "canvas's" as a back drop. It's a great alternative to the white fabric canvas we all know much to well. Get creative, use paint,stain or even attach some out of the ordinary 3d objects like an old rain boot, a record,cable wire or even random placemets of HB #2 pencils.... go nuts!

I see you. Clear vases are the way to go! They come in different sizes and shapes but these still contain that contemporary feel. Be creative.... put any kind of floral in them and they look great! At the Great Canadian Superstore I have found the best prices and selection for clear vases, they range in price from $1.99 to $39.99 for floor height. Make sure to check out the rest of they're home decor and even furniture line for dirt cheap.

Having candles lit during dinner creates a warm and relaxing ambiance. You don't want your rack of lamb tasting like fields of lavender. Keep it simple by having them in white or ivory and unscented. Ikea is a great place to grab these without spending a lot.

Best Selection Of Fresh Cut Flowers
Fave it!
Avenue and Davenport

Looking for the best condensed location of fresh cut flowers and variety? Hit the South / West corner of Avenue and Davenport. Prices are fantastic and you'll be there forever trying to choose what to buy. My fav along that strip is Growers Flower Market and Gifts but if they're ever out of what I need I hit one of the other 5 floral shops that are right beside it. Make sure to stop and smell the roses where Ave meets Dav.

When going for dinner, a house warming or a friendly get together it's always nice to bring something with you. If your choice of gift is to bring flowers ( which I love to do )than I would suggest buying all white. WHY? White goes with everything! You can't predict where the home owner will place your blossom bouquet so play it safe and that way it will complement any room no matter where it ends up.
