Last night’s torrential downpour didn’t dampen our spirits at the outdoor @toxmasmkt! We could have used some mulled wine or hot apple cider but a delicious chocolate @ogchimneys warmed us up quite nicely! Thank you to my friends for always being up for adventuring in any weather! 📸 @coatanj #Toronto #winningmeover #hoggerinto . . . . #TCM18 #torontochristmasmarket #torontoxmasmarket #torontochristmasmarket2018

@wearehappyplace is in #Toronto and it was, as expected, very grammable, I mean, check out my glamour shot here 📸 @coatanj . . . . . Tips: 🎟 ticket entries are timed and so are the more popular exhibits (like the rubber ducky wall/tub) so go on a weekday or you will get herded from one exhibit to the next 🐑🐑🐑 🐥 rubber ducky wall is the most popular and if you’re in a large group, pretend you’re not in a group, so that you get the full 45 seconds for photos, otherwise even big groups get only 45 seconds for the entire group 🌼at the yellow flower station, you have a limited time as well, and you have to climb up a ladder, albeit a short one, just FYI 🔃the upside down room really only works if you do something crazy, so think about what pose you want to do so that you appear to be dangling from the light from the ceiling 🔵 FYI, the ball pit balls are hard and hurt when you jump in ⬆️ go upstairs after the ball pit - there’s a photo station with a circle light for selfies that you can send to yourself 🙂Overall, I had fun, but I was disappointed in the way I was spoken to at the rubber ducky exhibit. I think to ease the chaos they could use more employees, and better organization for the timing of the exhibits. Perhaps space out the popular ones further apart or make more than one rubber ducky wall, since it’s so popular. 🙃 Ironically, the in-between-exhibits was everyone’s “not so happy place” . . #wearehappyplace #torontoevents #torontobloggers #torontoigers #igerstoronto #igtoronto #curiocityto #curiocitytoronto #captureyourhappy

In every change, in every falling leaf there is some pain, some beauty. And that's the way new leaves grow. Amit Ray ❤️🍁 #Toronto #winningmeover
