I had to share these last pictures from our weekend. Let me introduce you to “the nest.” It wouldn’t be fair if I didn’t admit that the nest, as a whole, was rather lackluster. Sure, the pillows weren’t spotlessly clean and no, the sheets weren’t totally dry…
…but oh some moments here and there, especially when [...]

Earlier this week, Anna Spiro of Absolutely Beautiful Things, featured a collection of outdoor showers, which made it very hard for Ash to say no when I insisted I just had to share this photo of him in all his fresh-air bathing glory. After all, this is the epitome of freshness. A world away from [...]

Something about having less than 100 days until Ash and I get married is making me a bit of a Weepy Wendy (sorry, Wendys!). For instance, when I saw this picture of my beautiful sister (and Maid of Honour) and my handsome brother-in-law from their wedding in Naramata. I know what you are thinking, how [...]

Old flower. Foreign Book. It’s good to find things you thought you’d lost. It’s sad to lose things you’d rather find.
It’s been too long since I’ve posted. I hope I haven’t lost my few faithful readers. I said there was more to come, and there is…
In the meanwhile, I have been reconnecting on Jaimie’s farm here and talking the night away here and planning [...]

Do people in Vancouver even know about The Galley? Arguably the best patio in town, if you’ve ever dreamed about belonging to a sailing club, I happily introduce you to this little piece of casual heaven. People in gortex adorn plastic patio furniture with million dollar views reflected in countless pairs of MEC sunglasses.
