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, [...]

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.
Yes, there are others:
Believe me, your girlfriend, sister, best friend, mother, etc would like one. Michelle [...]

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 one [...]

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, [...]

I like the colour grey. Usually. Not so much when our weekend plans sit under a pile of rocks on the Sea- to-Sky highway. And not so much now that my winter clothes have begun seeping back into my day-to-day wardrobe. Oh well, better this side of the fall than under it. With luck, [...]
I love the store Plenty. How to describe it? It’s like the perfect group of really fun and interesting people at a laid-back party, but catered, with great music, food and wine. And that’s a lot to say about a clothing store. Anyway, I just bought this jacket for $69 (on sale from $94) [...]

Or, it would have been a sign if the red hand were that white walking man instead.
The honeymoon is booked. Beach Blanket Babylon will be ours for a ridiculously luxurious 17 nights. I’ve never had much interest in all-inclusives, despite suffering through a long-lived and unfulfilled desire to go to Mexico. But, I have to say, I am growing increasingly warm to [...]

I can love Oprah if I want to.
And I do, I do, I do. Even if her show is terrbile and her magazine got kind of sucky. Sometimes you just need a little O in your life. Thankfully, Sarah doesn’t mind being Gayle.
(Photo, even more embarassing, was borrowed from here).

Viva la summer! It’s hot out. Two backyard bbq’s on the agenda today and then a trip to the airport to pick up my parents who are returning from 3 weeks in Italy. Also exciting? The start of farmer’s market season in Vancouver. I was so sad when we moved away from the Nelson Street [...]
