I am in Toronto preparing for True Colour Expert Training at Designers Walk starting tomorrow!  After my assistant and I got everything organized, we went out to find a patio and I found this sign (above), that I had to share with you sitting outside a variety store downtown on Dupont.
Here I am having a cocktail in a bistro in Yorkville this afternoon. Don’t look too close or you’ll see the  tiny cold store on my bottom lip. Sigh. It’s summer here in Toronto, which is very different from the weather we are experiencing in Vancouver, love it!
Looking forward to meeting all my participants tomorrow morning!
If you would like to gain more colour confidence, attend my True Colour Expert Workshop.

    Glad to see summer has arrived somewhere, wonder when it will arrive here on the "wet" coast. I have seen that sign before and find it so hilarious! Just what a parent wants, not.

  2. Jocelyn says:

    A cafe in Wellington, New Zealand, has a sign like that.

    Of course, even better if the espresso has lots of sugar in it!

  3. Jane says:

    Love that sign!

  4. Naturally Carol says:

    That is such a fun way of putting the message out there!

  5. Lynne Allard says:

    …with red food colouring!

  6. NewLightRedesign says:

    Ha!! The sign is so funny…I was in New Hampshire over the weekend and saw almost the exact same sign except it said, "UNATTENDED CHILDREN WILL BE GIVEN ESPRESSO AND A FREE SPECIAL NEEDS PUPPY"

  7. Lili says:

    LOL! That sign is great!!

  8. De tout, de rien says:

    Oh, great sign! My daughter works at a coffee house and sure could use a sign like that sometimes. Sooo many parents just let the kids run amok, knocking the displays down, etc. and the parents don't do a thing! Tisk, tisk, parents nowadays!

    I wish I could attend your workshop!

  9. pve design says:

    I wonder who wrote that? I bet they do not have any kids.

    Priceless!! haha

    That is Hilarious!!!

    Sorry about your cold sore! I usually just put a Compeed cold sore patch on – clean, dry lips are essential.

    I think it's the air on top of an open sore that is the most painful.

    Some lipstick as usual, and forget about it for an hour or two.

    That sign made me laugh out loud – really funny. Love the bit about the free kitten!

  13. Okay, that's funny. Have fun with your seminar!

  14. Charlene says:

    Are you planning any more classes in Toronto in the near future? I live in Michigan, but have a client in the burbs of Toronto and would love to attend at some point !! Oh Please???

  15. Trish @ A dream house for Trish says:

    Love that sign Maria…have a great course!!

  16. jane says:

    ha! this is great! thanks for that! 🙂
