Product Management, Productivity and Personal musings
My motivation to do any type of William Morris activities the last couple of weeks has been pretty low. Between school, work, a cold (during the summer?) and all the other things that make up life, I haven't been up to much. Today, however, we decided to get outside and weed the garden and clean …
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.
I'm on the verge of a pretty big change in my day-to-day life. Combine that with our impending departure for Shanghai and my to do list is almost as long as my arm. These lilies were bought for our Easter festivities and I swear they're the best flowers we've ever had in our apartment. (I …
I mentioned in a small joys post from about two weeks ago that I had just got a book back from the printer that I was pretty proud of. Here are a few more pictures, just because I think the photography is amazing (it was done by the author, not me) and because maybe I …
I love flowers in my house but they are a pricey thing that dies after only a few days. Yesterday we had a few people over for dinner so I picked an assortment of flowers along the train tracks near our apartment. I was really happy with the result. I got a really unfussy bouquet …
1. Nick. He's not small nor is the amount of joy he brings to my life but he has to be included in this week's post. I had a super busy week as you may have noticed from the blog radio silence and he kept me fed and sane all week. I'm a very lucky girl. 2. …
1. Getting free peonies thrown into a $5 tulip purchase made me really happy at the Farmers' Market this morning. They'll only last for a few days but they made our apartment smell amazing. 2. Besides finding a fantastic trunk in the alley this week, we found a new coffee maker. Since our old one …
As I mentioned in yesterday's post, we went on an awesome day trip to Gibsons this weekend, despite the overcast weather. It was an easy jaunt from Vancouver with delicious results. Matt, Shaz, Andrea, Peter, Nick and I daydreamed about starting a commune there on our walk from the ferry into town. Want to join …
{Freesia and peonies make for a really good smelling bouquet!} Last night I was feeling ever so slightly sorry for myself because I had a lot of freelance work to do after my day job. To make it feel a little less like a long, long work day, I bought myself some flowers and listened …
