{It is finally really and truly summer! Which means ice cream!} This week has been just grand! Great weather and lots of biking make it really feel like summer. School has been really busy though and will only get busier. Here are a few things that made this week feel even more like summer. I'm …
I'm excited to be writing my first William Morris Project post! I thought I'd start with something that is taking up a lot of our time and energy lately: our garden. You may remember from this small joys post in June that our landlords graciously gave us a pretty decent chunk of space at the …
Last year I was all about tulips but this year the roses in our neighbourhood are making me swoon. I "borrowed" these beauties from the lane behind our place. Is there anything sweeter than roses in a mason jar? No, no there is not.
As you may remember from this post of yore, I've long been a fan of the William Morris quote 'Have nothing in your houses that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful.' Well, a couple of months ago, I found the blog Pancakes and French Fries and discovered that someone …
{First outside swim of the year, at Lighthouse Park.} This post is a couple of days later than I usually write it, but it was a pretty good week so I didn't want to skip it entirely. School is getting difficult but I'm still really glad I'm doing it. I hope that your weekend was …
Ever since I saw this post on reading my tea leaves, I've been wanting to try garlic scape pesto, so when I saw garlic scapes at the farmers' market a week ago I jumped on them. (They were cheap, to boot!) On the recommendation of the guy who sold them to me I added some …
{Breakfast raspberries} {Sandwiches from Finch's with my man} {And leftover birthday cake!} {Garlic scape pesto, beer and bad TV} {The best smelling lilies} It's my birthday today and despite the fact that I definitely did not have the day off (not even a little bit) it was a pretty good day. Because it's my party …
{The sweetest bike parking spot I've ever parked at.} I feel like I'm finally catching my stride after switching from work to school six weeks ago, which means that I've been back to blogging a little more this week. Don't get me wrong, school is intense, but I've started to feel like I can handle …
Pretty much the only thing I don't love about summer is that it's usually too hot to turn the oven on for any reason. Since it might actually almost be summer now in Vancouver (it has been a cold and wet year) I figured I'd use what could be my last chance to bake something …
Recently I've been pondering vivid colour combinations. Minimalism. Love. Where the furniture in my apartment really belongs. The Hunger Games. And instants of perfection. There was one this weekend: sun and our new garden, my man, a glass of wine and newly planted sweet peas.
