Bear lamp

If anyone happens to search "bear lamp" in Google, I really hope they end up here, because this is surely the best bear lamp around:


I bought the lamp at Bakers Dozen in Vancouver. Michael spotted it, and although I loved it, it didn't occur to me that I could buy it. Thankfully I figured it out, even though it meant I had to carry it home on the ferry.

Our bedroom is really transforming since we also bought a second dresser:


We bought it at Charmaine's in Victoria. I love that store because it reminds me of Sellution in Vancouver, where I worked for a spell a good five years ago. Those are little tin hearts from Mexico hanging about the dresser.

It was while musing about Bakers Dozen, Charmaine's and Sellution that I decided that I'd like to open a used furniture store one day. Long term tentative plans.

More photos!

I haven't been writing on my blog much lately. I'm not really sure why. The end.

I was busy on Sunday, so that's why I didn't write on Sunday. I was busy going to and from Vancouver for Lydia's hen do. I was in transit for 8+ hours, but it was cute and fun, so I'm glad I went. Also, the ferry portions of the trip were lovely because it was so nice outside.


The hen do was pretty simple: we dressed up and had tea at the Fish House in Stanley Park. Some group photos were taken, but not by my camera, and no one has seen fit to post them yet.


For me, dressing up meant I wore a skirt and a bracelet; everything else was pretty much the same. I wore a bracelet made from recycled skateboards that Shannon got for me in Portland.


I had some time to kill at the ferry terminal, so I documented my appreciation for B.C. and the Pacific Coast Lines bus service to Vancouver.

Summer! Poladroid!

I love the Poladroid application that I read about on Design Curiosities. I also love summer.
