NUM

Need another night like this.

SUMMER TIME FILLERS

How I spent a large portion of my sister-visit in Vancouver: cats, snacks, bracelets, gin cocktails & jurassic park.

ON THE LINE

Beautiful hand-loomed cotton ikat we had made especially for Nokomis about 2 years before everyone else went 'tribal chic'. I love it every bit as much today as I did then, I just wish more people had been ready for bold, ethnic patterns back in 2008. This is the very last piece of this fabric I have and am torn between making some pieces for Fall or keeping it all to myself for ever + ever. Some fabrics just become friends over time...

STAINS

Weekend viewing.

10k bike ride to McAuslan Brewery on Saturday for an outdoor showing of 'Ladies and Gentlemen, the Fabulous Stains'. There were beers and hamburgers and hot dogs, oh my.

Guess who was sore the next day after not riding her bike in a year?

FAIRYLAND

The garden at Ma's.

SUNRISE, SUNSET

Arrived home from Vancouver & Edmonton late yesterday. Flew, literally, into the night from west to east. My body needs to get off pacific time and re-adjust to hot weather and humidity. It's been a shock.

I hope to re-open my shop mid next week, time to get back to real life.

Oh! and in case you haven't heard: my little Sis (with whom I stayed in Vancouver and had a delicious visit) has started a new blog project, Mainland, where today she shares a champagne/lemon balm cocktail recipe. What better way to beat the heat?
