I really can’t imagine a better wedding favour than our little army of piccolos. This is such a good idea. My mom called a liqour store and got a bulk discount on 70. Then, I ordered some custom tags on Etsy. It was the first time I ever saw people come back for their favours. Plus, we grabbed [...]

Things this girl likes today: The song, The Girl, by City and Colour (especially how it ends and then starts again faster and more feverously, as if to say he really means it the second time). The owner of Provide Home, who welcomed me into his fabulous store yesterday with pleasant conversation and a Nespresso cappuccino. Across from Chambar and Cafe Medina [...]
No, it’s not the remnants of our leftover Christmas Tree. It’s fresh dill. Found (in the off season) in those handy little plastic boxes near the bagged lettuces (which I never buy, except for the romaine hearts because romaine is a wild creature in its raw form and the crunchy hearts are the best part [...]

A glass of bubbly for you. And for me. This weekend, we took our nephew to Granville Island and stopped in front of this bakery: Outside was the usual busker, in his tuxedo, playing a perfectly timed La Vie En Rose. We danced. It was one of those moments that make the whole day feel [...]

As Ash tells me people in the smoky underground Chicago Jazz clubs say: That’s it Charlie. You got it Charlie. [...]

The view from Seymour Mountain in Vancouver. This was in July. Within 30 minutes of leaving the snowy parking lot, we were laying on the beach in Deep Cove. I woke up with this day on my mind. I am so glad we took pictures.

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 [...]
Besides the normal Vancouver-variety showers, my personal forecast has seen a lot of love and good wishes raining down from family and friends lately. Good thing, too, because besides feeling exceptionally excited and positive, my body has been a ruckus of problems. Luckily, I have found three things make me feel almost instantly better: platters of gourmet food set out at bridal [...]
Happy looking Image via Black Eiffel 1) I am officially done with wedding planning. Now it’s all about wedding unrollling. 2) I work with great ladies (ps: ladies, that’s what we call a blog throw-out) 3) I am making Slime Ricky’s and Cheddar Cobwebs to take to my sister’s house for Halloween. That’s it for now.
