Toronto, ON

Happy winter! And a lovely day it is to begin a shiny new season. I'm feeling rather shiny and new myself. Even after staying up the better part of the night to watch la lune in all its orange shadowy glory ... And glorious it was to be true.

I have a big day today, new musical adventures to embark upon, dance classes to attend, and mysterious rendez-vous, to rendez-vous. Just how I like it.

Bon hiver mes petits... x

 Happy Holidays from Corktown! More photos here.

I'm back in L-town avec famille for a wee spell. Since I last visited but a fortnight ago, the sky has dumped a whole meter of snow here! And in Toronto, two hours away we got all of two centimetres? Bonjour lake-effect. The snow drift in my parents' backyard goes all the way up to my Sweetlandish eyeballs. Apparently it's the highest it's been since I was two years old! And I won't tell you how long ago that was. Besides the lure of delicious Friday night family dinner out, the true purpose for my visit this weekend involves dog kisses at the end of the rainbow! Nothing beats the magical pink tongue of Ursa the Abominable Snow Poodle. Except maybe bourbon, shortbread and watching old Charlie Chan movies with my dad. Happy girl!

It is winter here at last in dusty white Toronto! Brrrrr. I've been hibernating away in my warm Sweetlandish sanctuary avec faux fireplace, gingery beverage and steaming pot of soup. It's been so wonderful to have time off to rest, breathe, think, work and organize my life. All in preparation for the next phase. Be expecting a new album from Captain Dirt & The Skirt in 2011! As well, there are plans for another Kristin Sweetland solo recording, so stay tuned ... Also in the works is a book of Sweetlandish photography, and a mysterious new writing project. More exciting details tba in the New Year!

Until then, keep warm and cozy.

Love,

Just home from an incredible night out on the town. Went to see my flamenco dance teacher Esmeralda Enrique's company's performance "Espejo de Oro" at the Harbourfront Fleck Dance Theatre ... It was absolutely brilliant and beautiful. I'll be dreaming of those costumes for the rest of my life. Not to mention, I am so inspired to practice my moves now. Olé!

It was a foggy night in hogtown to be true! I spent much of it up on my high perch above the street, watching the mist roll in ... But I simply could no longer contain myself. I had to venture out in it. Wandered down to the Distillery where I grabbed a few sweet shots of that gloriously heinous still effigy in Trinity square. It proved far more attractive dressed in pea soup than sunlight. After that I proceeded to secretly invite myself to a party full of well-dressed strangers. Then I went home. Quel Saturday night.

I'm home at last from my grand adventures! Now it's time for serious sleep, major laundry and dog kisses at the end of the rainbow. It was the busiest tour in Sweetlandish touring history and I'm sorry I didn't have more time to write. Tour tales and blog updates coming soon, I promise! Until then, have a peek at the two new Fall Tour photo albums I posted in the Adventures in Sweetland gallery.

Talk soon...
