I'm back! Sorry for being MIA for so long. It was a great trip, as always. I spent my first few days in Vancouver with my dear friend Vanessa and it was just divine. We walked the city, catching up, ate delicious food, the highlight of which was fish taco's and chips down in the Granville Harbour. YUM. Victoria was also awesome, I spent the first few days out in the country with my other dearest friend Lise and her beautiful family. We had a picnic down on French Beach on Canada Day - feast your eyes on this gloriousness:
God that sight makes me so happy. I love the ocean!! Every time I go back I lament the fact that I live in a city far away from all of this. Living where I do does bring its benefits but I would be amiss if I didn't say that the thought of moving back to the place I will always consider my home is always on my mind. One day!!
Other highlights included a delicious raw food meal at the new restaurant Bliss, catching up with an old friend. Making my annual trek to some of my favourite places: Re-Bar , (my faaaaaaveourite restaurant) Silk Road, (a tea house and spa wherein you can purchase some of the most incredible things), the picturesque and historic Victoria Chinatown and, of course, Value Village (or VV Boutique as I like to refer to it). I also had great times catching up with my family and saw my father for the first time in over 15 years. Yes, it was great!
While I was gone I received some more good news in that I was awarded a grant from the Ontario government to help me while I run my business over the next year. Good news! This will enable me to devote all of my time to my business ventures which is win-win for all methinks! So, since I have returned I have been busy-busy; trying to get my Fall line organized and a photo shoot happening, sewing, thinking about Christmas (yes...groan) and trying to enjoy the beauty of Summer.
I have also been buying up fabrics like crazy from Japan and beyond and received this little package in the mail upon my return. I forgot hos splendidly parcels were packaged when coming from Central Asia! More soon friends. XO.
