Something I've never really mentioned in this space before is what I do for a living. I'm a graphic designer, but my nine-to-five is as a book designer and production person. I do still take on freelance clients and am especially grateful when I get to work on something with friends. My friend Ashlee has …
small joys.*
1. This meat pie was given to us by Nick's mom several months ago for our freezer. Last Sunday, it was pouring so we pulled it out and did it ever hit the spot. Thanks Martine! 2. Nick and I are heading to the motherland this week so in order to see all of our …
organization.
{Well organized and edited bookshelves.} I mentioned before that I had boundless energy for my apartment earlier this week. What I didn't have was boundless energy to post about it, apparently! Call it spring fever or blame it on the guests we're excited to receive in June but I tackled some of those annoying little …
happy birthday roddy.
{One of my favourite photos of my dad from 1993.} Today is my dad's birthday. He's taught me to drive, shoot a gun and also, how to be a good listener. One of my favourite times with my dad was when I moved back in with my parents for three months between Halifax and Vancouver. …
sexy little song.
It's been a while since I've had a song obsession. Every once in a while I find a song that I just want to listen to on repeat until I know every word and melody, much to my roommates' chagrin. Past obsessions include 'Islands in the Stream' by the Constantines with Fiest and 'Window Seat' …
little garden in the sky.
{Brussel sprouts, kale and onions, in rows.} We're fortunate in our little apartment. We have a pretty big balcony/fire escape, in a city where space is a hot commodity. When we initially looked at our place, all Nick really had to do was stick his head out the door off our kitchen and he was …
slut walk vancouver. the day after.
{Slut Walkers on Granville Street.} As I mentioned last week, I attended Slut Walk Vancouver on Sunday. It was more than I could have hoped for. Thousands of people (I think, I'm terrible at estimating attendees) showed up and all kinds of different people. I was especially impressed by the number of men that attended …
small joys.*
1. Anthropologie has opened on South Granville! Just in time for me to replace our butter dish that I broke recently. And with such a pretty one! Now I just have to prevent myself from spending all of my money there. 2. This weekend was super-productive; I organized and edited a lot including this bookshelf. …
and now for something completely different.
Since yesterday's post was pretty heavy, I thought I'd leave you with something light and laughable. Nothing is funnier than a giggling baby so here are three hilarious YouTube videos to brighten up this Thursday. (You've probably seen them but they're too good not to watch again.) XO
slut walk vancouver.
{Image via Slut Walk Vancouver.} On Sunday I will be attending Slut Walk Vancouver. If you're uncomfortable with the name, you should be. (I am too -- see below -- and I feel pretty strongly about this!) Slut Walk Vancouver is inspired by and in solidarity with Slut Walk Toronto. SWT was start in response …
