Toronto, ON

Bonsoir from Casa Sweetlandia. It was a sweet sunny Sunday in the big city and I've been up and going since the crack of the first church bell this morn! I did have plans to be the social butterfly this weekend, but instead gave in to domesticity and repose. It's possible I should have gone out on the town hier soir with all the revelling Junofesters, but opted in favour of a pot of parsnip soup and an old Alfred Hitchcock movie. That's how I roll these days. Friday was monumental, as I spent most of it moving my dear friend Miss M out of her apartment next door. A mountain boxes, a world of treasures and 15 years of dirt scrubbed out of the kitchen cupboards later, she is gone. Bon voyage, sailor twin. You will be missed.

Meanwhile, back at the ranch I'm lounging about, drinking ripasso and plotting my coming exploits.  Stay tuned for new tour dates, album plans and other Sweetlandish secrets coming soon.

And of course, for the newest mysterious photographs from my eternal self-portrait series visit the Adventures in Sweetland gallery!

Je t'aime,

Happy Spring!

The sweetest of seasons could not have come soon enough for me, and I tonight I celebrate with my peeps in true magnificent style. There will be toasting, and feasting, and burning in effigy, and solemnly swearing to never again spend a full winter in the city without running away. To somewhere warm. Where pool boys run free with arm-fulls of champagne cocktails. And they all look like that babe from Lost Girl. Sigh.

It's not that I didn't enjoy my first full Torontonian winter. I've been so loving my time here and appreciating the simple act of staying in one place. What a novel concept. Not to mention, three months of flamenco dance classes later ... I think I might be getting somewhere! I'd guess that throughout the course of this past season I've attended 20 dance classes, made 30 pots of stew, polished off 40 bottles of red wine, and watched at least 50 classic films. If not 99. And had at least 100 bubble baths.

Now that's a winter resume a girl can be be proud of.

And speaking of bubble baths .... glug glug.

Mes Amis,

I'm so excited for tonight's show at Hugh's Room in Toronto! The brilliant and lovely A Man Called Wrycraft (graphic designer of both my CD's) has put together yet another eclectic and badass tribute show. This time it's the second annual "50 WAYS TO LOVE PAUL SIMON" - A Loving Tribute to the Music of Paul Simon and Simon & Garfunkel. I'll be performing my first-ever duet with dashing flamenco guitarist Jorge Miguel. Also on the bill are Suzie Vinnick, Eliana Cuevas, Ben Sures, Blair Packham and many more ... See poster below for more details!

Also be sure to pick up a copy of today's Toronto sun for a glorious full-page feature on the show, and an interview with yours Sweetlandishly.

More news to come from the Sweet front soon ... Many tales to tell, and mysterious photos to upload. I do apologize for being remiss in my blogging of late. Will retroactively update you all on my recent wintery adventures asap!

Parsley, sage, rosemary & thyme,
