Staying in Style: Books on Fashion
October saw another Fashion Week in Toronto come and go- one of many events that mark the seasons of the fashion calendar. Our interest in fashion is not new: clothing is a way to demonstrate belonging, status, wealth or purpose, as well as to express individuality. The oldest book in the
CANADA 150- Ontario- Blue Mountain Pottery
My grandmother gave my mother some Blue Mountain Pottery candlesticks one Christmas during my childhood. I was old enough to remember it, so I was probably at least 7 or 8 years old. My mother was very excited by the gift, and the candlesticks quickly became a fixture on one of the most prominent
The Monastery of St Moses, Syria: The Pottery

CANADA 150- Nova Scotia – Amos Pewter
Mahone Bay is a beautiful town just south of Halifax, on the eastern shore of Nova Scotia. I stopped there on a holiday with my family this summer, and was charmed by the sheltered harbour, the tall trees, and the lovely shops. It was a perfect place to stretch our legs and eat some ice cream. When
Canada 150- Saskatchewan, Alberta, British Columbia- table, crock and plate
Continuing my geographically rooted exploration of the Canadian Decorative Arts Collection, as the year of the dubious Canada 150 draws to a close, I come to the West, and am going to highlight some objects from our collection here from each of Saskatchewan, Alberta and British Columbia all in one
