Confessions of a Macaron Addict: Boutique Point G

Amanda Di Pancrazio May 15, 2015

Before I begin, let's be clear that I'm talking about macarons. They're those adorable - often colourful - treats seen in the photo above, not to be mistaken with the coconutty nasty "treat" known as the macaroon. Cause who the hell would write about macaroons?

My Brand-Spanking New Custom Kitty Pillow + a Velvet Moustache Sale!

Amanda Di Pancrazio April 28, 2015

Have you heard of Velvet Moustache? You may remember them from my post about my favourite Montreal Etsy sellers or my YouTube video where I show off their pillows; they make super adorable, high-quality pillows as well as other goodies for the home. It goes without saying that I'm a big fan. I mean... they make animal pillows that make my home look like... well... my home.

Saturday Adventures: On the Local Gamefront with Montreal Independent Games Festival Faves

Amanda Di Pancrazio April 1, 2015

Geek alert! This weekend, the BF and I headed over to the Montreal Independent Games Festival which took place at Dawson College. I was super excited because:

#1: I love me some indie games.
#2: Dawson was hands down my fave school to attend and what better excuse to visit than a gaming festival?
#3: Seeing what fellow Montrealers are creating for our enjoyment? Yes, please!

Cara Carmina - Handmade jewellery - Made in Montreal - Etsy sellers from Montreal

My Fave Etsy Sellers from Montreal

Amanda Di Pancrazio March 18, 2015

A few years ago, I was hanging out in the Old Port with the BF, checking out an exhibit at the Science Center. Low and behold, there's an arts & crafts fair going on IN the Science Center. Well, BF didn't look super excited, but you bet your behind I was absolutely thrilled. Now I was in a phase of my life where I just could not leave any sort of commercial situation empty-handed, so I was taking my sweet time to sift through every item on each vendor's table. I walked around - twice - BF showed signs of antsyness - thrice - and then I stopped.
