For those of you who’ve been following, you may have noticed the past couple of posts haven’t made it out on a Sunday as promised. I’m fairly well organized but Summer tends to have the ability to put a wrench in good intentions. It’s the last long weekend of said Summer and with Hurricane Earl sending some down right chilly conditions, the beau and I opted to stay in town. Instead of soaking up some last rays of sun I get to spend it with you and a lazy Sunday roam of a vibrant retail local in Toronto.
In typical Sunday form, the boyfriend and I headed out around noon for some brunch. Planning on a feast at
Aunties and Uncles, we made a change plans when the relatives turned out to be out of town. Opting to back track to
Caplansky’s, we made some tentative post-meat plans while awaiting our smoked meat hash. While I strongly pushed for a trip to the ROM, the peaking sun deterred me to wander outside versus in.
Kensington Market is a neighbourhood in Toronto where you can make a quick errand or just as easily spend a few hours. It comprises a couple principle intersections including Augusta and Kensington running north-south and Oxford, Nassau and Baldwin running east-west. I’ll work on a proper Kensington blog but for today I’m providing all you knick-knack loving, hand crafted crafters and kitschy kitcheners a snap-shot feast from the Blue Banana.
Blue Banana operates a market mecca in which merchants can rent space to hock their wares. Ranging from toys, clothes, jewellery, art and food stuffs this 2 storey building is a modern day treasure trove. It’s the one place where you truly could find something for that special person that doesn’t need anything…shout out to all those Dads out there! I recommend the beer-butt chicken spices or a selection of choice hot sauces as a good place to start.
There’s a little something for everyone, which I can vouch for as my boyfriend easily occupies his time while waiting on me to make a round. A possible nibble on some homemade marshmallows, MC ice cube trays and hugging salt and pepper shakers to name a few of today’s highlights.
With some many trinkets I highly recommend a pit-stop as birthdays, holidays and no-reason-at-all-days rise to occasion. Today I came across a few goodies I wanted to share with you, happy perusing J
