>a little kitsch never harmed anyone...

Okay politics sucks. That's what you've all said.
So enough with the bad news and let's put some stardust in our lives...
If you haven't already, run ( or fly :) ) to the Hotel de Ville in Paris and discover all about the sparkling diva, Dalida!

>reuse, recycle... fashionably

What to do with a bunch of old magazines and used wrapping paper?
Design colorful and funky badges to pin to your denim jacket your favorite bag etc...
And offer them to your friends in a recycled packaging!

>cool blog, amazing photos

I recently "rediscovered" an old friend of mine
and especially his passion for photography.
Check Christian G's blog for a definite getaway feeling.

>family portraits

That would be me and gus by our 5 years old daughter chloe...
Now why the sun shines on me and not him, and why does he have spiky yellow hair, and why am I a full portrait and he's just a head...
I don't know. All I can say is I love those drawings (!) and the resemblance is quite accurate. No?

>Montreal yummies...

Ever wandered through Montreal's open air markets?
Mmmm... an enchanting world of tastes...
Marché Jean Talon has a hidden treasure: Pastificio Sachetto,
a traditional fresh pasta maker. The best black mushroom ravioli ever! Unfortunately, you can't buy them online but you can purchase other delicious products. And if you ever pass by Montreal, you know where to go!
