Toronto Life's House of the Week in The Annex

It's a pretty one!
Toronto Life's House of the Week is on Elgin Avenue, which, I must confess, is a new Annex street name for me. (Yes -- I looked it up. It really is in The Annex, unlike some streets that Realtors fudge about.)
It's a beaut!
But at $3.4 million, no wonder.
Cheers,
Vanessa
PS I know that there is no lack of things to do in TO today, but don't forget about Open Tuning Music Festival happening throughout Seaton Village. It's free!

Seaton Villagers: Do You Want To Participate in Open Tuning?

I LOVE our neighbourhood! This was on the Seaton Village Facebook page:
"Calling all Musicians!

On June 21, 2014 the streets, porches, and alleyways of Toronto’s Seaton Village will come alive with music, as Opening[sic?] Tuning: A Free Music Festival takes over the neighbourhood from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 pm. Free performances will happen throughout the day at non-traditional indoor and outdoor venues. Seaton Village is bordered by Bathurst, Christie, Bloor, and Dupont.

Open Tuning is a 100% independent and community-driven festival, with zero corporate sponsorship or advertising. The goal of the festival is simple: to celebrate music through creating, performing, experiencing, and listening.

So we’ve got the idea, and we’ve got the neighbourhood. Now all we need are musicians!

We are looking for expressions of interest from musicians and bands who would like to be part of the 1st ever Open Tuning festival. Musicians of all ages, genres, and skill levels are invited to participate. This is a free festival, which makes this a non-paying gig, but it’s a great chance to share your love of music with the world.

If you would like to be a part of Open Tuning, or would like more information, please contact us at opentuningfestival@gmail.com.

And, please feel free to forward this notice on to your fellow music makers!

Taking place on June 21, 2014, from 10:00 a.m. to 10:00 p.m., Open Tuning is a free music festival celebrating music through creating, performing, experiencing, and listening. Inspired by la fete de la musique in Paris, Open Tuning is a celebration of community, summer, and music. Each year, the festival will take place on a Saturday close to June 21.

For more information, please visit our Facebook page (opentuningfestival), or follow us on twitter at and Instagram at @opentuningfest."

Happy tuning!
