I hadn’t planned on making anything new this week, but then some unexpected beauty showed up and absolutely blew my brains out.
I’ve been waiting for something worthy of one of my favourite places in the world — and I’m lucky that this place is only one kilometre from my home: Main Street Unionville.
I’ve lived here since November 2004, when I had a little baby boy and craved outdoor walks and space to play with him. It was a good move.
Over the years, I’ve spent countless hours on Main Street. I had two jobs there — both of which I loved.
The curling club became my second home, where we’ve spent years playing, volunteering, and most importantly, making friends.
My kids went to school on this street from Kindergarten to Grade 12. A huge milestone was the day they were finally allowed to go to Main Street to hang out with their friends.
Crosby Arena saw endless skating practices and performances for my daughter. The baseball diamonds behind it hosted so many games for both my kids — and for me. Ice cream at the Old Firehall after baseball was a special treat, and the walk home after my own games was one of my favourite parts of summer.
The bandstand was the venue for weekly outdoor yoga on Sunday mornings, and for Thursday‑night concerts with cover bands that were genuinely fantastic. The Bee Gees cover band night was legendary — they really should’ve closed the street because the crowd was enormous. The mood was joyful nostalgia and pure 70s magic.
And then there was the 2019 Gilmore Girls Fan Fest, one of the highlights of my entire life. Because the pilot episode was filmed here, one thousand lovely people from all over the world came to Main Street. It was absolutely magical.
Main Street Unionville is a special place. If you ever get the chance, please visit.
Here's the Main Street Unionville Earrings! Available in silver or gold. I'm in love, and you will be too!
Copper, sterling silver.
