A little tour of the things I love – fifth stop

Posted by andrea tomkins in: Oh! Things!|Photography

a murder of  (cast-iron) crows

Our crows have been here before, but let the record show I adore them just as much as the day we brought them home.

This one is inspecting a giant pine cone.

It’s hard to tell by this photo, but there is a bunch of candles there behind the fireplace screen. I love the light they give off. Why don’t I light them more often?

I LOVE your crows.
Light you candles tonight!
I have ‘fancy’ tea cups/saucers and I let the girls drink their ‘tea’ everyday from them…along with silver tea spoons…it gives me such pleasure.

The Obligatory Blurb

My name is Andrea and I live in Ottawa with my husband Mark and our dog Sunny who is kind of a big deal on Instagram. During the day I work as a freelance writer. I am a longtime Ottawa blogger and I've occupied this little corner of the WWW since 1999. The Fishbowl is my whiteboard, water cooler, and journal, all rolled into one. I'm passionate about healthy living, arts and culture, travel, great gear, good food, and sharing the best of Ottawa. I also love vegetables, photography, gadgets, and great design.
