Quick Post of Miscellaneousness

This week’s car is a 2014 Ford Escape.

This week’s car is going to have better-than-usual blog photos.

My laptop and I, going around the city.

Stopped by an eBay party at the Hazelton.

They put on a great Mother’s Day Collective: unique gift ideas, made by up-and-coming Canadian artists, that eBay lends a hand up to.  That’s Monique Chan’s “Radiant Necklace” by her studio MoonRox, $70, here’s the link.

Bottom pic: good camera-awareness, missy.

Will work from wherever.

Last week’s car, next week’s blog review – Ford’s 2014 Fusion.

I’m liking that collage, that may be my new format for the sidebar ‘This Week’s Car’…

My column printed today – Fuel Economy Ratings get a Dose of Reality.

And confirmed: it’s a pretty impossible fit, the backseat of an F-TYPE.

 

 

Breakfast at the Hazelton

eBay invited me to the Hazelton, to celebrate the launch their exclusive jewellery collection:

The eBay Valentine’s Collective

They’ve partnered with three of Canada’s leading jewellery designers. This line was my favourite, it’s Rebekah Price.

Usually her stuff is sold at Holt’s, she ships necklaces to Lady GaGa, and everything seen here is under $100 shipping included; so yes, good deal.

Most importantly, there is no heart theme.

Gentleman, please don’t buy your girl heart jewellery.
Be more sophisticated. Click here for an example of no.

PS – I haven’t been to eBay since the 90s. Auctions aren’t my thing; I don’t go shopping, I go buying.

But I learned that, eBay has become 70% “Buy it Now”, huh.  I added it to my, “places to search for hard to find things” list, will let you know how it goes.
