Something old can now be new this Sunday at Tabula Rasa. Head over to the Queen and Broadview boutique with your old, broken and unworn jewellery for a cozy afternoon of jewellery repair, vintage re-working and custom necklace creations.

This would be an ideal gift for your Italian barber who makes his own homemade wine and insists you try it while he strops his razor. A fine Italian red to give him something to aspire to. Not as rich and complex as the 2007, but more approachable.

If you haven’t already begun adding a bit of razzle-dazzle and jewel tones to your wardrobe, we suggest you begin now. Of course we could tell you to go buy another little black dress, or even a red-satin showstopper, jazzed up with some “holiday” accessories — but then you would end up looking like everyone else, and we wouldn’t want that.
For the next 13 weeks, Toronto’s gourmands will have the opportunity to dine out at various Toronto restaurants sans the hefty bill. The catch? Dinner on a Tuesday night and a $60 down payment.
