Hello! I'm Patti.

Welcome to my blog!

'Embassy of Ideas'

It's a lot like a buffet;

a bit of this, a bit of that.

Mostly about food + drink,

arts, culture,

life in Canada and

a handful of other topics.

In a nutshell, I write

and publish photo-essay-style

posts that I find interesting

at any given moment.

Some posts are exclusively my photos,

some other's photos or a combination.

My blog is a very personal space.

I don't post for any specific demographic.

I don't publish for money.

Established in 2007.

(Thousands of posts and counting)

I know it sounds cliche but

it is a 'passion project'.

It's truly a place where I invite

others to discover varied editorial subjects.

 'Intérêt du Jour'

Peek inside my creative brain.

I hope you enjoy it's randomness!

I Adore These Quotes:

“Well, I suppose nothing is meant to last forever.

We have to make room for other people.

It’s a wheel.

You get on, you have to go to the end.

And then somebody has the same opportunity

to go to the end and so on.”

– Vivian Maier, Photographer



 “The only way to assert the right to publish is to publish.” 

- Katharine Graham



"Never stop doing your work,

because that’s going to keep you grounded

and give your life purpose.

Spend as much time as you can with people that you love.

And walk a lot!"

- Maira Kalman



I also pen a Substack here.
