" I would rather sit on a pumpkin, and have it all to myself, than be crowded on a velvet cushion" -Henry David Thoreau Well, what a perfect weekend for both in Port Hope. The pumpkins are ready for picking, carving and to be sat upon. In addition, there are still some tickets left for Port Hope's 47th annual house tour tomorrow. I'm sure there will be some velvet cushions, and the house tour always draws a great crowd. Before you set out on the tour, make sure you stop by the latest addition to the main street, Marche 59. They offer a wonderful selection of real French pastries, breads and baked goods....all baked in house. I am starting the weekend off a little early this morning with their chocolate croissant. Very tasty! Once you have finished the house tour, check out our great variety of shops in town. They are filled for fall with lots to update your wardrobe and home.....chunky sweaters, warm jackets, suede boots, velvet cushions, cashmere throws, vintage and antique furniture and furnishings, a great selection of period and contemporary fine art.... Enjoy the foliage on your way out from the city. It's just a one hour drive from Toronto.
