EVERYTHING B.C. + VANCOUVER
LAST OF SUMMER & THINGS LATELY
Summer days spent in British Columbia were memorable and magical. I felt so inspired and happy while I was there, even up to the very last moment. On the very last day of my vacation, grandma, dad and I went to explore West Vancouver and ended up at Ambleside Park at the
Harmony Arts Festival.

I re-visited the little secret community garden by the Pacific Ocean and I think, dad and I were both inspired to start painting again by watching this dad and daughter duo sit by the sea and paint.
At the art festival, I visited
A Cagey Bee's booth and decided that I would buy some of her art prints. I first saw her work at Granville Island and was instantly taken by the Richie and Margot prints from The Royal Tenenbaums. I decided to get 'Ingrid and The Grey Bunny' and 'Beyond The Forest Edge' art prints for my kitchen. I ordered them online so they should be here in a week or so. I will find suitable whimsical frames for them and hang them up.
After the art festival, we decided to go to the
Red Lion Bar & Grill before our bbq that evening. I had a salad and a quiche. Grandma had a salad and dad had apple pie.

When we got home, we had a great feast of a bbq with trout and lot's of delicious salads that mum made and prepared.

After dinner, Shaun and I embarked on a much needed walk.
It really was a perfect day
While I was in Vancouver, I also found the most adorable
Herschel backpack with little woodland creatures on it and decided to get it for when we go on our hikes.
I was actually so inspired that we ended up going to Whyte Cliff park after I saw her photographs.
My current projects consist of organizing fall outfits to sell at my local consignment stores and de-cluttering. I recommend this to anyone who has overflowing closets like me. Donating and selling your clothing, handbags and shoes is a great way to make extra room and a little bit of cash on the side. I plan to buy a new paint set with some of the extra money.
