I’m a Bad Plant Mama
I'll be honest. I kill plants. Not intentionally, but in my care (or lack thereof), they don't often survive. I either water them too much or ignore them for months on end. Just so you know, I have succulents and cacti. Yeah. Obviously not ready for pets or children. //Read More

Dear TGIF, I know we haven't been friends for more than a year. You reminded me too much of Full House, Perfect Strangers, Family Matters and a restaurant chain. And I'm agnostic. Sorta. We just weren't working out. //Read More
Shirts that Rock
Music is a passion, a living, and a business. For many bands, it's about inspiring and making it into the millions of iTunes libraries that walk around in iPods all day. But it's about making a living with what you love doing most, working a career that's meaningful and getting noticed. (hmm, sounds familiar) So when I came across Yellow Bird Project, I thought it was such a creative way for Indie bands to do just that. //Read More

A couple months ago, Eggpress had a big sample sale so I ordered a whole bunch of cards, just in case. They bundle off 10 at a time and fortunately, a few Father's Day cards were included. //Read More

Today's post is alpha-chic - 26 typographic chairs designed by Roeland Otten. These ABChairs are literally an alphabet to sit on, or if you're like me, a life-size game of Boggle. //Read More
Patterns, Pouches, Purses!
Black purses and clutches have always been a staple in my closet. But they're not always the fun purse you want to bring to a birthday party, the beach, shopping or work. I don't need another reminder of how dull the weather is here in Vancouver! Well today, you're in for a treat because we have purses from Blonde Birdie that are bound to brighten your day. (and a discount code too!) //Read More
