Centro Garden

Centro Garden is a cool little shop in downtown Burlington. It is where I purchased my succulent arrangement shown in my last post.

They have a gorgeous outdoor garden area where they sell furniture and plants and even hold an organic market on Fridays. The indoor area is full of unique finds. For our anniversary my parents gave us these "just like mama" wine glasses that they purchased at Centro. They are by Fishs Eddy- the famous housewares shop in NYC. I used them for mini iced coffees.

When I was there the other day I snapped a few photos of some things I liked...

The succulent arrangement in the drift wood was amazing. Wouldn't it look great down the centre of a rustic table?

They make mini arrangements to order-definitely doing this for my next party as favors. Also love the little graphic dishes.

 This is what I bought-inexpensive jars for candles and a few turquoise votive holders for the condo.

Here are few photos from their website...

 Sign up for a terrarium and wine class!

Have a great weekend everyone.  XX

Condo Balcony

I have finally, sort of, finished the balcony at the condo. It is as small as a postage stamp and was super difficult to photograph without hanging dangerously over the railing. I still have to figure out the lighting situation-there is no overhead light and it gets quite dark at night. There is an outlet so I was thinking of filling a vine ball I have with mini white Christmas lights and hanging it like a chandelier from the ceiling. What do you think?

I love the succulent arrangement I bought at Centro Garden in Burlington. It is so low maintenance it only needs to be watered every two weeks. If you are ever west of Toronto you should visit Centro, they have many unique items and great party ideas. I am going to do a post on them later this week.

The love seat and chair is exactly what I wanted--something super plush and comfy. I looked all over the city and finally found these at Canadian Tire of all places. I paid literally 5 times less that other outdoor furniture stores I looked at. They are probably not as weather resistant as the expensive lines, but then again they get little ware and are totally covered from the elements. I am not crazy about the throw pillows that came with the set, but they will do for now. I found the turquoise garden stool at Homesense.
