hobo bags


This is my new favorite combo of fabrics. This here bag is my spring Lemonade Hobo Bag, she's quite delicious. It has a mocha denim outer-fabric and a combo of two different cotton polka dot fabrics. The grey dots on the cream are actually a metallic silver, which adds a sweet little sparklie touch. Sigh, I love lovely fabrics. Anyhoo, just thought I'd throw some sewing in, I promise to put more craftiness on here in the future. Happy Easter Egg weekend!! (it's all about the chocolates right??!) Cheeerio!!!

(pssst: If you're in Vancouver, I'll be selling these puppies at the Portobello West market!! ... http://vancouver.portobellowest.com )

good days and birthday things


Well, I had a birthday last friday. And it was a fabulous day. I went down to the quay market, and got myself some tulips and a london fog (tea) to start my day. I was actually very excited about being just shy of 30. The boy got me more flowers and some awesome tiny birthday cakes. AAAand, I also got a new bicycle for my present! How delicious is that?! (bestest boyfriend ever?!!) Last saturday, we finally found some we liked! Wahooo, I have a new bike! (him too, yay!) Now I'm excited to personalize it and make it super cute. (I have great plans you know) I've forgotten how much fun bicycle adventures are. Just in time for spring! Eeeek!!

thrifting


My aunties were in town and I met them for lunch yesterday, which was really awesome as they are adorable and lovely. But it made me sad and lonely for my family. So what else to do but some lovely thrifting/shopping therapy. I didn't come up with anything fun... but last week I did find some super scores. This is my favorite piece... a ruffle underskirt. sigh, soooo precious! It's made all my skirts so much cuter. Just in time for spring! (and it was 4 bux to boot which = mucho happiness)

brunch, saturdays and walks






Last Saturday we went for a walk down to west 4th for brunch at the ever so fun and delish Sophies. Ate happiness in the form of eggs and salsa goodness. Ahhh, and the weather was soooo lovely, I was with my boy and everything was sunny and well... awesome. We did a little walking all overs...here's a few pics of the lovely day. oooh, and the buds are all out on the trees *smiles*. Happy March!
