She's Back....

If you haven't seen it yet you must pick up the Summer '09 issue of HELLO Canada magazine (it's on the newsstand until September). There is a fabulous article on Cobi and it's so exciting to see her back in the spotlight! The article features her lovely PEI home and also gives us a little insight to her future. Now, you'll have to sit tight until July, but she will be launching her new website, cobistyle.com - "I feel I have something to say in the world of design and I'm trying to figure out how I'm going to express that," she says, "It's an attitude about lifestyle that's missing from the marketplace. People are generally too stressed - they're not enjoying the process of decorating. Your home should really be the place where you feel your best, that reflects you and brings you joy."

Welcome back Cobi!

Gorgeous Picnic Set

My son, Tate and I have just returned from visiting family in England. We had a brilliant time and each second was filled with memories. Most days we packed a picnic lunch, my 92 yr old Grandmother packs a delicious selection of sandwiches and always adds strawberries and cream as a treat.

Upon my return to my endless e-mails I had an e-mail from TOAST, which happens to be a british store, introducing us to a great picnic set. I absolutely love the stainless cups and plates and the thai-woven basket finishes of the set. If I had known while visiting I would have definitely order one, but the shipping to Canada is horrendous, so I'll have to wait! In the meantime check out there site for endless inspiration.
