We’ll head indoors eventually.

But not until we’ve attended almost every outdoor concert we possibly can. One of the last this season will be Canada’s own Broken Social Scene, who will perform at Stanley Park’s quaint Malkin Bowl on Saturday, September 24. If we may put in one request, it’s that the Toronto-based indie supergroup play All to All (it was one of our favourite performances at Coachella this year).

Until then, we’ll be listening to it on repeat.

Summer came so late this year we are refusing to let it go so soon. That’s why we’ll be dining al fresco right through Labour Day weekend.

Pehr Napkins $11 at Provide
After our third ear of corn, we’ll be using these beautiful napkins from Toronto’s Pehr to wipe globs of melted butter off our faces.

Union Wood Company Cheese Platter $80 at the Cross
Home décor trends are leaning toward the rustic and we love the French country feel of this distressed cheese platter from Union Wood Company.

Ripple Pitcher $149 at Mint
This white-glazed pitcher is begging to be filled—and then re-filled—with white-wine sangria.

Stainless-steel smoker box $57.95 at Williams Sonoma
With a little help from this fancy hickory chip-filled smoker box, our barbequed salmon will be smokin’.

The Summer Collection $25 at David’s Tea
Need we remind you, oh Mr. Golden Sun, that summer is supposed to stay around until September 21st? We’ll be serving fragrant loose leaf iced tea until then, thankyouverymuch.
