Donut Peaches

A friend at work had been buying Donut Peaches for weeks. I saw larger ones in Kensington Market one Saturday and picked a few up. They were delicious!

Squeaky Hamster
pencil, pen & ink, watercolour
I found this tiny, squeaky, plush hamster on the subway many years ago. I have no idea if this was part of a larger set of toys or what it was called. Was it one of a cast of many characters? It still makes me happy to see the little fella and to give him a little squeeze to hear him squeak.

Old Table Lamp
pencil, pen & ink and watercolour
An old battered table lamp that caught my eye a while ago. It had a nice Art Deco inspired base and worn patina.

Little Vintage Car
7″ x 10″, pencil, watercolour and pen & ink
Gary and I have noticed this cool little vintage car parked in our neighbourhood over the past few months. It’s usually parked by St. James’ Cathedral. Sadly, the last time we saw the little car it had a broken windshield. It’s hard to tell from my sketch, but the car is really very small.

Old Stripey Belts
pencil, watercolour and pen & ink
My collection of old and frayed stripey belts that I just can’t bring myself to retire (throw out).
