I would love to write something not related to the next 5 sleeps. But I can’t. I’ve got one thing on my mind. He’s tying his tie in the hallway mirror. Jen xoxo PS: Photos of postcards contained in The Little Box of I Love You, currently for sale at Chapters for $15.95 and now, [...]

Mine Heart
Posted in Champagne Wednesdays, Etsy, Shopping, Vancouver, wedding on Nov 6th, 2008
This morning, the leaf mobile found a friend. I’ll show it to you in a second. First, you should know, I’m listening to this song and drinking Nespresso on the floor in front of the fireplace. Whiskey and I are wondering if the rain will lighten up long enough to go for a walk before [...]
Remember when I bought you that lamp? I should have waited and let you open the box yourself, then it would have seemed like more of a gift. Lamp from Poetic Home, the shop of Grace Light (could there be a prettier name?). Grace has a blog too. And now I have light.
Yesterday, I went to get my eyebrows shaped and the lady burned me with boiling, hot wax. Now I have a scab above my right eye, a very tender eyelid and an outstanding appointment for waxing of a different “venue,” so to speak. Believe me, I am canceling that appointment today. The sad thing is, [...]
And then love came in red

Yes, I bought it. Yes, I love it. Yes, I will run home every day for the next two weeks to check my mailbox. Yes, I sometimes wonder if Michelle Brusegaard thinks she’s as fabulous as I think she is.

Today, my mom and I go pick up my dress. I have to admit- in all my one-day of dress shopping - I was absoltuley taken by this little store on West Broadway called Frocks. Sure, it might have only had six dresses to choose from (great for me), but they were well-chosen, not fussy and you got to lounge about deciding which [...]
Indulgence
Posted in At Home, Restaurant Reviews, Shopping on Aug 25th, 2008
via Anything Goes Seems like an indulgent moment to rip a stem of roses out of a vase and clench down. In my wanderings, I’ve had a few moments like that. I thought it’d be a fine way to start the week, too, since I don’t have a whole lot else to say this morning. [...]
No, not you, Patrick. While this seems like something I’d normally be opposed to in all sorts of ways, the shivers that ran down my spine are hard to ignore. I mean, if I ever actually published a novel and someone scanned every laboured-over page and put it online, wouldn’t I be a little venomous? [...]
the unveiling
Posted in Champagne Wednesdays, Etsy, Shopping on Aug 14th, 2008
Our wedding invites are almost ready to be posted in the mail! What a Goldilocks-esque struggle it can be if you’re set on finding the just-right invitation of your matrimonial dreams. I have loved, hated, felt numb, dumb and now once again love what we’ve come up with. Heavily inspired by the work of Etsy-success unlesssomeonelikeyou, [...]
