Well it’s here. The weekend I’ve been looking forward to since we closed up our cabin in late September. It’s the Fall Cottage Life Show taking place in Toronto this weekend. Second only to the Spring Cottage Show, this scaled down version is for those of us who need a cottage fix.

I always enjoy the presenters at these shows. This year I will be attending The Crash Course in Basic Cottage Repair, I’m sure my neighbours will be relieved to know I am finally taking matters into my own hands and not their’s. I’m also interested in Installing Alternative Energy Sources.

My absolute favourite presenter is always Jane Rodmell, author of Cottage Life’s Summer Weekend Cookbook. A cottager herself, Jane’s recipes are simple, delicious and contain basic ingredients. My ultimate cottage fantasy would be watching Jane preparing appetizers in my cabin, while I relax with a chilled chardonnay.

This is also our first show as an exhibitor. I am looking forward to meeting new cottagers and handing out red licorice, so if you are attending the show - please stop by booth 610 for a Twizzler.

More from the show this weekend so stay tuned. Hopefully I will be able to squeeze in a little Christmas shopping, THE TRADING POST, features the work of cottage-country artisans from across Ontario, showcasing quilts, original paintings, pottery and crafts.

Food, shopping and cottage- I’m in heaven. Oh, I almost forgot, there is even a session on pairing cheese with beer. What more could a gal ask for?

Here’s to a great weekend at the cottage - show that is.

Cheers,

Julie
