Autumn is my favourite time of year. I love the change of seasons with the crispness in the air and the glorious colours of the leaves. (It also happens to be my birthday month!)


As part of my birthday celebrations this year I’m traveling to Portugal to explore the Azores, go back to my favourite stomping grounds in Lisbon and Porto, including the Gin Lovers Bar and Skinlife perfumery. After that I’m off to Angola for a little dancing and culture! Are you going anywhere this fall?


You don’t have to cross an ocean to see some sights. October is also a great time for a road trip to see the gorgeous foliage. Scroll down for more details!


This weekend is Thanksgiving and we all have so much to be grateful for. One of the blessings that I count is my business. So many of my clients have become friends and I have friends who have become clients! I thank you for your trust and confidence in me to guide you along your path.


If you’re looking for some cooking inspiration this Thanksgiving, you’ll find a recipe below for scalloped potatoes (my secret ingredient is a little nutmeg!) and some ideas for table settings and décor.


And now, onto the market. Though the market in general has slowed down, I’m very grateful to be busy! I recently sold two homes andI currently have a beautifully restored Victorian home available as well as some apartments I’m leasing out. I’m currently working on renovating the units and there will be more photos coming soon!


As always, any referrals you may have are greatly appreciated. Please forward this to any friends or family who may be considering buying or selling in the coming months!


Take good care, hope to see you soon, and toodle loo for now.


Wishing you and your family a Wonderful and Blessed Happy Thanksgiving!

Scalloped Potatoes with Porcini & Bacon

Who can resist the smell of bacon and onions cooking? Add them to creamy potatoes along with porcinis and all thoughts of healthy eating are momentarily and happily discarded (there’s always tomorrow!).
