GUESS WHAT ?!!
That’s what. Jokes.
The Toronto FALL HOME SHOW is on…. in T.O. tinsel town
Sept 20-23
Better Living Centre, Exhibition Place
And…wait for it…wait for it….they gave me 20 TICKETS to give away.
Saaahhhweet.
Each photo today is an instagram photo from home sweet home. I stuck them in for kicks, and to try to take my mind off of COLIN AND JUSTIN. Look out…more on them in a moment. YUM.
P.S. These are the official words of the FALL HOME SHOW ( next paragraph below) :
P.S.S. I had to plagiarize the show description to give you the full scoop because I am not THAT eloquent
Balinese FISHING BOAT converted into a poolside bench
Here is the show dealio :
Design, style and Renovate your life all under one roof. Find innovative products, new ideas, and great deals with over 300 retailers and industry experts. See celebrity experts like Jonathan & Drew Scott from W Network’s Property Brothers, designing duo Colin McAllister & Justin Ryan hosts of HGTV’s Home Heist….and a ton of other stuff. <–OK, OK, that last sentence was my words. Can you tell ?
Balinese driftwood mirror, IKEA lighting, painted ‘old’ chairs
If you don’t trust my plagiarized words, you can check out the Fall Home Show website for the real deal of descriptors. {Because I have been known to lie before}
The Fall Home Show official website is full of truthfulness. I think. *snicker*.
When I read the site official-ness I saw the words : COLIN AND JUSTIN.
Do you know who they are?
YUM.
Look at THAT sexiness :
COLIN AND JUSTIN
If these boys weren’t partners, I would surely kiss that sexiness.
* I’d kiss their candour (nooooo, candour is not a body part). Gross.
* I’d kiss their nuttiness.
* I’d kiss them because they make me pee my pants laughing.
In case you have been living in a cave (why do I have to teach you everything?) …you should know that they have a show on the boob tube called HOME HEIST. It’s HILARE!!
My HEIST protector. Never Mind. Colin & Justin, you can HEIST me anytime.
I don’t blame those hotties fun guys for heisting homes. Have you seen the video clip on their website? You can see it here: Colin and Justin . Crack me up. Some of the houses that they HEIST are hideous quite a challenge.
Colin and Justin are not just designers….
They are miracle workers with a funny bone and damn sexy hair.
Dear Colin and Justin, come to my house. I have BEER. And a TREEHOUSE.
So let’s get down to the nitty gritty of the BLOG GIVEAWAY :
You can win tickets to The Toronto Home Show *
* I only wish I could attend.
The only flower that is NOT DEAD at my house this year. A miracle.
More on why I can’t attend -> in the next blog post. I have a cancer update to follow.
The next cancer blog post has a happy dance and a crocodile tear in it.
There.
Warned you .
Fair and Square.
My solution for wrinkle cream. Dim lighting and Candles.
Count your lucky stars that I can’t attend the HOME SHOW because I would have kept every single ticket. That’s right. I would have hogged them. All of them. ALL. Ticket hoarding. Big time.
What would I do with those 20 tickets?
I would line each and every one of them up reserve the entire front row of chairs. Every chair within sight. Then I would lay across every-single-chair-possible. Like Miss Piggy. A tall Miss Piggy. With long legs for chair hogging.
I wish I was the size of my dog for those moments. S.T.R.E.T.C.H.
- I would lay on my tummy
- Across as many chairs as possible. S.T.R.E.T.C.H. Of course.
- I’d bend my elbows
- Perch my face on my hands
- Dangle my feet in the air in ohhh sooo Miss Piggy style ….
- And just STARE at the boys. In all their glory.
- I would laugh at their hilarity. Their frankness. Their candour. Their candidness.
- While peeing my pants.
- There would be no chance to
tinkletake a break.
Not even a chance for a treehouse wilderness tinkle
I could lose my front row if I left for tinkles breaks. Helllooo. My bladder screams to be emptied every 10 minutes. Thank you, menopause. Thank you, child birth. Thank you, useless bladder. You suck.
- I would
curseignore my bladder and just stay glued to the seats. - I would totally wear depends and stay for the show*
- *Praying that I don’t sneeze.
- I would stay to laugh through design ideas with the boyzzz. It would take my mind off the psycho squirrels that attack my treehouse while hurdling pine cones at me. Bastards.
Treehouse pine cone squirrel attack. Guess which one ?
Aren’t you glad that I am giving away the tickets instead of attending the show?! There would be wet seats fooooshur. Gross. I know. I roll like that. I pee my pants all the time.
How do you win the tickets ? It is dead easy to do.
Leave me a comment.
Tell me how many tickets you would like to win. Or leave me a comment, just for kicks. Tell me what future blog posts you would like to see. Tell me about your bad ass squirrels. Or your bad ass mother in law. Or what you are making for dinner.
That’s it. That’s all.
Now it’s your turn…. COMMENT away….. xo
Easy, huh?
We would love two tickets. We’ve never been and don’t have the $ to buy tickets. But we’d sure love to go! An outing, a whole day with my Mum, and lots of things to see and do. A spirit-lifter for sure. Thanks for making this giveaway contest available.

Just stopped home for a quick lunch and to let out my own doggie and took the time to read your blog! Made my day…..laugh, laugh, laugh…..even though I also have had 4 kids…..thankfully, I don’t have the tinkle problem! lol I would love to take my single girlfriend to the show with me….since neither of us have a man, we need to sit and drool over good looking men….even if they have each other! I’ve also moved to a townhouse and I want to redecorate the living/dining area so I could use some help! Thinking of your all white scheme! Keep up the great blog!!
Hey Jane !
No probs !! Send me your addy via email and I will send you tickets. You must promise me to gawk at the boys and take photos of any hotties walking by. The property brothers will be there. UHHM. YUM. It will be a HGTV festival of men. Hellloooo. DELISH.
CHEERS !!
Hiya Jane
I sent out two tickets for you and your gal pal on Thurs Sept 13th. Have a great time at the show and smooch those boys for me
Lynne
omg why would i need a ticket when i can be entertained right here in my internest (flluffy down nest in bed surfing net) by you???
i don’t know these boytoys. must visit their site.
peeing my pants is a special talent! and am i right? have i found a potential fan/groopie for the ballads of the insanely menopausal that i write and sing in my little lounge all by my lonesome?
like squirrels from a distance. my neighbor years back is THE SQUIRREL MAN of international fame (he was on rosie’s show) and he tried to convert me to squirrelism as he lives with many and once forced me into his house to witness. i like odd but i never returned.
thx for the dose of humor.

Michele
I want to hear that insanely menopausal ballad ! What a hoot ! Do you need an audience? Count me in.
Squirrel Man sounds like an interesting neighbour !
Cheers !!
OMG Lynne, what a character! Just read your blog, and you have SPUNK !! It hurdles off the page and your blog just made me smile! Love how you would stalk Colin and Justin (if it was legal!), lol !
If you have any tickets left, would love to get 4 for the Fall Home Show, my house is desperate for some love
Deepa
p.s. tandoori chicken is marinating in the fridge…and will miraculously become Butter Chicken tonight, with the help of KFI’s butter chicken sauce from Costco
My blog hurdles? I thought I was the only one..that hurdled. I hurdle acorns at squirrels BUT they hurdled them at me first. LOL. Thank you for the beautiful compliments. *blush*
I want that tandoori/butter chicken recipe STAT.
P.s.s. Yes, of course, I can send you tickets. Send me your mailing address via my email [email protected]

Adore that bench made from the boat, brilliant and totally gorgeous. The two hunks aren’t bad either. Can’t forget about the fluffy white dog!! Love the post, the pics are fab and everything is beautiful!!
Hey Suzanne
How’s the pugs?
I thought you would LOVE the dog pix
Nando is doing pretty well, recuperated from surgery. Izzy is having some problems with her breathing (brachycephalic issues) but doing ok. It sucks to get old, trying my best to take care of my aging pugs and keep them comfortable. I would like to be resting on that gorgeous boat bed with a icy cocktail right now!
Hug the pug fellas for me. Dogs are d’best,aren’t they? LOVE LOVE LOVE.
totally the best! hug that fluffy white beauty for me too!
I would so love to get to see the Toronto Fall Home Show.
I live in Hamilton, Ontario and I’m only a short Go Train ride away and love, love, love the show. I go every year and it would be even better if I could go for free.
I also have to say………I love, love, love your blog. You inspire me……..love your tree house and keep begging my fella to use the tree house design to build me a garden shed/girl cave to give me a place to just go and find my happy place in this crazy world we live in.
Thanks for the inspiration,
Kelly
Hiya Kelly
Fantastic ! I will send you tickets. Email me with your deets and they will be in the mail for you!
And GIRL CAVE ?!! LOVE IT. Why didn’t I think of that name ? LOL. I have a new treehouse nickname, thanks to you!
Thanks for your awesome kind words. Every once in a while, I wonder “what the hell am I doing LOL?”…I write the words, push the publish button, and never know where it lands or if someone other than my Mom and my Dog read it. LOL.
Thanks for the cheer! You inspired me !
Hi Kelly
I sent 2 tickets off to you on Thurs Sept 13th via the good ol Cdn postal service. Have a great time and smooch Colin and Justin for me !
Your blogs crack me up! Even though I have a million things to do in a day I read them cause they are awesome… If I can figure this technology out I will share on Facebook. P.s. I’m having chicken, baked beans and slaw for dinner (see? Told you I read them!)
Hi Lisa !
Luckily, all you have to do is push that FB share button at the top or bottom of my blog posts…and wham bam thank ya ma’am…it is done for you. Yippppeee! I love short cuts *_*.
You d’best
P.s. I totally have a chicken craving for dinner tonight. Looks like everyone is having a chicken. YUM.
Fun post!
I wish i could go but i can’t so i actually don’t need any tickets but just wanted to say “hi” and tell you we now have a suirrel problem in our pool shed roof. AND they are filling our eavestroughs with acorns from a tree in our backyard and now the eavestroughs are overflowng every time it rains. I’m certain one of your squirrels hitched a ride with me a few months ago. It’s the only explanation because they’re acting lke treehouse squirrels….not normal city squirrels.
Oh…and. Love Colin and Justin too. I wish they would heist my home
JANET !!!
I was just off in Danica’s blog writing to her about YOU and your awesome photography skills. Small world. xx See her message below. Janet meet Danica. Danica meet Janet.
Treehouse squirrels?! I bet they hid in your trunk after you left the treehouse. Little buggers. Are they staring at you, and chucking the acorns across the yard as soon as you turn your back? Are they pee’ing in your planters and snickering? If so, those are definitely my treehouse squirrels. BUSTED.
Miss you, my friend.
Hi Janet! Looking forward to finding inspiration on your blog.
Danica
What!! Nobody has commented yet! Ok, maybe I am waking up way too early!
My squirrels eat our veggie oil, but you already knew that…we have big plans
I need a ticket…wait I need 2 tickets because I hate going anywhere alone.
I hope they have blue wall displays
Danica
that was fun! xx
I saw your love of blue walls on your pinterest boards. Stunning. Now I see why you luuuurve it. Did you go for it? I wannnnna see pix again
Hi Danica,
I sent two tickets out in the mail for you on Thurs, Sept 13th, along with a wee surprise gift.
Have a great time at the show!
