Thank you so much to each and every one of you for your continued support. I get to make these videos for a living, and I couldn’t be more thrilled about it.

Oh, I love the beautiful rain =) I couldn’t smell and watch and listen to rain every day!
I looooooove all the Toronto content. <3 Next time you’re in Brockton Village/Little Portugal, please get a coffee at Cygnet ( a few blocks west of Rose City Goods). They’re hands down my favourite coffee shop in the city and the owners are the friendliest people.
Where did you buy your mask ??
Does anybody feel like Alexandra would be the type to take her cat to the store in a baby carrier. (Her top sort of looked like tula straps.)
A lot of these type items are available in Austin, TX. I know they have an Easy Tiger. Really cool vibes!
Another great video. Thanks so much for all the decor ideas. Keep um coming.
I am elderly never had luck with plants. The die. What do u think about silk or plastic plants? Love watching your videos!!!
love love LOVE this series! i went to a couple of the plant shops from the last ep and now i can’t wait to hit up these decor stores 😍😍
It’s not great: with the Covid I can’t travel and this video makes me want to go to those shops.
that desk chair is so cute wow!!!!
I need that butt vase/planter
For those asking, it looks like the tea towels are from Urban Outfitters! If you Google "ruffle tea towels" there are a few options but these specific colors/patterns are at UO.
could you please specify where you ordered the tea towels from?
Loved the pink desk chair
We’ll totally take your rain in Southern California
I love your videos. They make me so happy! The aesthetics and your personality are amazing!!
Hi Alexandria! I hope you see this even though it’s from a year ago! I’ve watched every single video and now reach watching them because I enjoy them so much! 🧡 Now for the point of this comment, I’m from California! The places I’ve gotten to travel is New York City, Washington D.C, Virginia, Texas, Arizona, Missouri, New Mexico, Nevada, Kansas
Which have all been beautiful places to explore! BUT, Canada has been on my dream list! And hoping one day I will get too. But these videos of seeing your favorite places to shop, and plant shops and seeing the scenery is extremely exciting for me! It’s a glimpse into a place that is so different than California, (and better in my personal option for a multitude of reasons ) I know sharing that aspect of your town and favorite local places might sound not as interesting but it truly is! So pleaseeee consider making this a once a month segment? Of places you enjoy! To eat at, shop for home, plants, furniture, fashion (which by the way I love your cute tops you always wear. Love your channel so much!
Thanks for sharing these Toronto gems. Once we are out of lock down I will be on my way!!!
I’ve been to Toronto once and I loved it.
My daughter was born on July 22, 26 years ago! This is NOT the week to take your summer holidays. Seriously it’s a family joke! So many years of storms on July 22, 23, 24 in Ontario. Here you are showing a perfect example of the weather at the end of July!
Loved the plant tour (saved it as I didn’t know about a few of those) so was thrilled to see another one!! The one thing more fun than/just as fun as 😁 plant shopping in Toronto is Crystal shopping!! Would also like to know where you purchased that beautiful mask!! I knew about their stationary store but not the home deco! LOVE! Ohhh! Run and Gun plant coffee shop?! What!! Love it! Great haul!! Stay cool sister!
I low key miss being young – so hopefully adorable. Being old (over 30) has it’s perks though.
i bought that v de v mirror with wood balls and then saw it on your video today!!!
It’ll looked the same.
Yo Gater!
From another show what was the tile cover company called, please
I gave a thumbs up before even watching that’s how great I’ll know it’ll be!!🌿🌵🌷
Loving the support of small, local businesses! Such beautiful pieces as well!
“I think most of these are run by women which is also awesome.” Why? What matters is talent, merit, competence. Imagine if that sentence was flipped around and uttered by a man: “I think most of these are run by men, which is awesome.” All hell would break loose. BTW, I’ve been watching your videos for a year and enjoy them very much. Started watching when I needed to decorate a condo after being “grey divorced” by my wife of 22 years. Yay girl power.
Cute shops👌
Did I miss the link to the ruffled tea towels? Those are very cute.
So fun to go virtual shopping with you while it is also raining where I live. I’m in the southern U.S. where a small tropical storm is passing south of my state today on its way to Texas and Mexico. Can’t wait to see how your new chair looks with your closet office!
Loved the second and the last one ❤️
Thank you Alexandra, i got skill share and got all Henderson’s classes!
I want to go shopping in your town!
love watching your videos 🙂
Thanks for wearing your mask correctly!
I’m so happy I found your channel! I love Skillshare and have purchased their premium plan for about three years. One of my favorite artists/teachers is Cat Coquillette ,(her shop is Cat Coq). If you don’t know her, you should check her out. She has lovely art that I think you would really enjoy. Thank you for all of your great videos!
Can you link the tea towels you bought online?
Learn a new skill!!!
My online tests know no limit😭😭😭
So awesome seeing you in a mask!
Glorious shops! Lucky you to have such beautiful places to go to. Thanks for showing us around! Also your mask is super cute
Loved this video! Great ideas for when I make a trip to Toronto! ❤️
Nice
Hey Alexandra, what color is the heart print in your living room? Sometimes it shows up black, other times hot pink. I’ve been wondering about this for months haha. please help a girl get closure.
Never thought of Toronto as a vacation destination but this video makes me want to go! 👍🏻
The "love" illustrated on your print isn’t love. Great to see the variety of decor shops and the combo decor/coffee/floral shops. You seem so much happier now that you can socialize. Glad that weight is lifted from you.
Completely wrong bra for that outfit…ugh.
Ooh I wish I had such beautiful stores in my area!!🥺
"some beautiful coffee table books for your umm…your coffee table" yes 😂😂😂
