I WANNA live there Wednesday # 148


Good morning everyone !

We knew a lady once in Manhattan whose father had been offered a chance to buy a loft in Soho for 30,000 dollars in the 70's - in an old factory.  He laughed and told the other investors that no one would ever want to live in one of those.........................
It sold 10 years ago for 5 million -
Our friend used to laugh painfully when she told us that story.

I thought I'd take you down to Old Montreal today..............it's a pretty special part of the city filled with historical charm.
Cobblestone streets - little alleys -  horse and buggies - spectacular restaurants and entertainment at your door - the river and of course - old commercial buildings converted into lofts -

Old Montreal
649,000
5 rooms
2 baths
1320 sq. feet
Realtor - MICHELE BOUCHARD - GROUPE SUTTON












2ND BATH



Could I live in a loft?
In a Montreal Minute actually !

Neigborhood walks would include views like this - where not only are you transported back in time hundreds of years ago - it's almost like you've been transported back to Europe with all of the stone buildings.











Maybe our next move will be to Old Montreal :)

In the meantime I have to decorate this space in my mind before I can let it go


Have a wonderful day everyone 
Hugs,

Tin Heart Garland

Good morning !
I'm not quite sure what happened to me this weekend but I was heartified or something -
I couldn't stop working on Valentines day crafts
I tried to - I just couldn't .


Ok - before I go any further with this post I have to tell you all something - I've got a sneaking suspicion that
Adele has been reading my blog.( and I've had it for awhile now )
I made that Hello sign in the summer.
And than all of a sudden she comes out with a number one hit song with that as the title?
I don't mind at all - really I don't - but a little recognition would have been nice don't you think?
If she comes out with a song about a string of metallic hearts next that'll just cement it.

Back to the tin heart garland -
Have you ever tried to snip 12 hearts out of tin ?


Neither have I - but I DID cut out 12 hearts from construction paper and then painted them with metallic paint................same thing, right?
Well minus the blood all over your fingers............and I didn't want to make bleeding hearts anyway









Have a wonderful day everyone !
