LA Bound

Off to LA for a few days for some fun and snooping around the Pacific Design Center. I love finding new vendors and great products for clients, and I’m excited to visit some of my favorite suppliers in person. Any favorite LA spots, restaurants, etc I should check out while I’m there??? Leave a comment with [...]

{The Design Darling of Twitter} Happy Nate Day!

Dear blog readers, have you heard what very important day it is today? Before you scurry off to check your calendars, I’ll indulge you. Today is officially Nate Day. As in THE Nate Berkus. For those of you non-Tweetaholics, Twitter has been abuzz of late with talk of Mr Berkus himself. What started as an idea [...]

Shopping Tip – Once a Tree Furniture Warehouse Sale

Hello friends! This appeared in my inbox today and I thought I’d share it with you! Once a Tree Furniture carries Mitchell Gold & Bob Williams as well as some GORGEOUS in-house designed and manufactured furniture. I love that this is a family owned and operated business that has been in Vancouver for decades! I [...]

Getting Crafty

Now I’m not really a crafty person per se. I like doing projects (sewing, painting, etc.) but I’m not crafty in the Martha Stewart way. But, having a preschooler who LOVES to do crafts means I get into the spirit a lot more. Yesterday afternoon we decided an Easter craft was in order, and of course [...]

Happy Valentine's Day, and a Gift

Just a quick note to say Happy Valentine’s Day! Hope you have something lovely planned! I think we are going to make a nice family dinner tonight to celebrate, and I know Ben is excited about giving Mommy, Daddy, and Carys Valentine’s after the fun he had with his preschool friends exchanging them this week. [...]

Go Canada!

With today being the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics in VANCOUVER (yay Vancouver!) how could I not write an Olympic-related post on such an exciting day??? Though the city has been preparing for YEARS, the last little while has been a frenzy, and (according to Jeff who is in the city daily) Vancouver has transformed. [...]

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year! Wishing everyone a wonderful 2010! Jeff and I (Carys and Ben too)  had a fabulous New Years Eve. For the fourth year in a row, we headed out (sans children, a rare treat! Thank you Mom for babysitting!) to our favourite restaurant, Cielos at White Rock Beach. We were joined by some [...]

Calling All Black Thumbs!

Last weekend we ventured out (after what seemed like an eternity of being sick and house-bound) to visit my friend Angela’s Christmas Barn Sale  (which you may have also heard about here and here). Knowing Angela, I knew we would be in for a wonderful and magical sale, and she definitely didn’t disappoint. The barn was [...]

Kick-start Christmas

Whew, what a busy week! Halloween (too much chocolate consumed!), hosting a Stella & Dot Party (too many pretty things tried on and added to my Christmas list!), a surprise birthday party, and the usual busyness with kids, the house, projects, etc. I don’t have time to write a full post until later tonight when kiddies [...]

Is Lonny Mag the New Domino???

Like the rest of you, I’ve dearly missed Domino since it folded. It was fresh, ahead of the trends, and always unique. Even when some of their designs weren’t my cup of tea, they always made me pause and admire the way the look was pulled together or how the combination of elements was used in [...]
