Go visit a historical society this long weekend! ✨

Last summer, I went on a road trip to visit historical societies around Durham Region. I got to meet wonderful people who were so knowledgeable and so generous with their time. I really recommend it, especially if you’re into heritage homes, interesting antiques, and trains (so many trains!).

Thank you to these great spots for having me:

Lake Scugog Historical Society
Scugog Shores Museum Village
Uxbridge Historical Centre
Township of Brock
Beaverton Historical

This footage is from a project I did last year for my friends at Durham Tourism 💕

Time for another episode of ✨my life as an entrepreneur with ADHD✨

I don’t love summer, but it’s not summer’s fault! I’m always too hot and everything is too bright and I feel paralyzed when it comes time to leave the house. So I made a list of ways to answer “what’s new with you?” because sometimes fighting my apathy and eating a tomato is an adequate answer 🍅

Swipe ➡️ to see how I’ve been enjoying summer this year 💖 Not pictured, but worthy of a special mention: ice cream dates 🍦

If you’re not a summer fan, you have a place here 😂 And if you love summer, tell me what you enjoy about the hot weather and I’ll add it to my list!

Something from my vintage shop is in a MUSEUM 🤯

The Musée McCord Stewart Museum has a great exhibition about the Montreal 1976 Summer Olympic and you can find something from my shop in the hall of uniforms! I had so much fun visiting the museum and hunting down my item.

Montreal 1976: An Olympic Feat is on until September 13th and I highly recommend it. Let me know if you spot my item during your visit 👀

📍 McCord Stewart Museum, 690 Sherbrooke St W, Montreal, QC
