events not to be missed
What to do? Fall is falling upon us, and we sit at home and make or eat pies. Or, at least we want to. However, before the leaves and then the snow flies, it would be good to get in a few dashes of culture, networking, and enrichingly fun times. Two events to mark in…
Vue par la fen?¬tre – Through The Window
Upcoming fun this autumn… We are very excited to announce that we will be part of the official programming for Culture Days / Journ?®es de la culture, September 27-29, 2013. Photography, painting, and mixed media artists are collaborating to reflect upon the unique 9th storey, Fleurbain view of downtown Montreal. The work in this group…
up the mountain
Last week while I was on a new (to me) part of Mount Royal, I took a photo of the trees. Little did I realise (well ok, I did know it was coming soon) that within a matter of days this scene would be covered with snow. I might get back for a white version…
site under construction
Fleurbain is under construction. Fleurbain is moving… moving in, setting up shop, shifting around, clarifying, distilling, and experimenting to compound our knowledge and expertise. Fleurbain is no longer only a dream and a website… Fleurbain is a site. We will have a grand ouverture and vernissage soon (probably in early November), but in the meantime…
a cool place in Montreal
I sat at this scene the other day, painting. It happened to be?áon a crest, and I felt the loveliest?ábreeze lifting off the water. There were some rogue, illegal?ábathers splashing away down below, but no-one seemed to mind. Their laughter and belly flops filled the air with the sound of children, even though they were…
Parc Lafontaine
Parc Lafontaine is?áa gem of a park in the heart of Montreal. It is one of those places that means much to many people. There is a rich history to the park itself, but you can opt to ignore everything and just bask in this oasis.?á Natasha Henderson, Montreal
temps des sucres
It can be hit and miss as city folk head to the country in search of traddy?ácabane ?á sucre. ?áI have heard horror stories of people finding themselves in a factory style set up, feeling like they are just another maple-covered cog in the wheel of over-commercialized traditions.?á I don’t personally know of any family…
Something is brewing for late February…
?á In late February we will be participating in a major event in Montreal! This is exciting; so exciting that I’d like to tell you all about it right NOW. However,?áthe rules of this event state that?ábefore a certain date we cannot?áadvertise our participation… in… whatever this is. There’s?áa big release date for all information…
regrets over garlic
I am?áenrolled in?áa CSA programme. Like many people, I supplement?áthe bi-weekly?ágrab-bag of organic vegetable goodies?áthat are delivered from “my” farm with additional produce, ideally purchased at one of Montreal’s farmer’s markets. This past fall I bought two different, and regrettable,?ábundles of garlic. The first was a big?ábag: “A Winter’s Worth of Garlic”. It came in…
