WE’RE HERE! I’ve only been in the new office a week and it already feels like home! I’m still trying to get used to all the extra SPACE. This move has forced me to do serious spring cleaning but, it has also given me an opportunity to reflect on all the things that I’m excited about for 2010.
In no particular order, here are my Top 10 for 2010:
1. NKPR’s new home on Adelaide West is up and running! I’m so grateful to all the people that made this move a smooth transition. Some of my favourite new furniture came from Ital Interiors in Toronto. (http://www.italinteriors.com/a.php ) I’ve fallen in love with more than a few pieces from there. Stay tuned for an upcoming blog with all the pics from our new home!
2. Location, Location, Location: Our new office is across from the Festival Tower which will be ideal during TIFF and I have Thai chicken bites, authentic Italian meatballs, and gourmet chocolate treats all within walking distance. What more could I ask for?
3. My new Brooks Glycerin 8 running shoes with DNA technology (http://www.brooksrunning.ca/)
These shoes are amazing! I’ve been training in them over the last couple of weeks to get ready for the Sporting Life 10K in support of Camp Ooch, happening May 2nd. If you haven’t heard about DNA technology, you will soon! For the first time this technology allows for a completely custom fit by adapting to the weight distribution and strength of each runner’s stride. Don’t just take my word for it, try them for yourself!
4. Gearing up for CONTACT – the largest photography festival in the world sponsored by Scotiabank. Exhibits run throughout May in venues across the city. I was so excited to hear about David LaChapelle’s involvement in this year’s festival. I can’t wait to check out some the exhibits. I might find something to add to the gallery we have started in our new office, which already includes two pieces by our own in-house artist Lizzie Vickery.
5. The Apple iPad. I have mine on pre-order!
6. Meeting Olympic gold medalist Tessa Bonhomme. What an amazing woman! She brought her 2010 Vancouver Olympic gold medal with her to our office. The medal itself weighs over a pound…imagine that hanging from your neck!
7. Award-winning Canadian designer- Joeffer Caoc. I love his new collection! His designs are feminine, sleek and tailored. Check it out for yourself (http://www.joeffercaoc.com/) He is definitely someone to keep on your radar!...
8. Being involved with Artists for Peace and Justice. It was incredible to see the support and generosity everyone has shown and continues to show the people of Haiti. Let’s keep the momentum going! (http://artistsforpeaceandjustice.com/media-coverage.html )
9. New York artist Peter Tunney. I’ve just picked up another piece by him (see below). I love finding new art that inspires me!
10. The song “Come On Get Higher” by Matt Nathanson
“I miss the sound of your voice
I miss the rush of your skin
I miss the still of the silence…as you breathe out and I breathe in
If I could walk on water
If I could tell you what’s next
Make you believe…make you forget”
I love those lyrics…
Have you started your Spring cleaning yet?
Heading out to enjoy this beautiful weather, have a great weekend!
