a wonderful weekend.

A gorgeous sunny drive, a sleepover with my best bud Lo (sixteen candles included), play time with the kiddies, a photo adventure, brekkie with the girls and, last but not least, Ryen Lily's very first birthday bash! With warmth, sunshine and budding blossoms as a very nice accompaniment.

stella mccartney, eco friend

It seems Stella McCartney has a very nice head on her shoulders when it comes to eco living (and vegetarianism). If you have the time, check out her 30 eco tips here . She seems to me, a very cool girl.

thrift scores!

With the thrifting bug itching me all morning, I decided to head up to the local shop in town and came out $4.25 less in my pocket and these sweet scores! 6 canning jars at .25 a piece and a leather shoulder book bag.

routes travelled by train, bus, car. so far....

So very much more to see...

THE PURPLE COW

I never saw a Purple Cow,

I never hope to see one;

But I can tell you, anyhow,

I'd rather see than be one.

patrick watson, the great escape

So I just can't figure out how to get the whole video to fit. Regardless, fantastic song. Patrick Watson is definitely one of my top artists at the moment (and Canadian, originating in Montreal Quebec). To find out more click here. Worth a listen.



Bad day, looking for a way,
home, looking for the great escape.
Gets in his car and drives away,
far from all the things that we are.
Puts on a smile and breathes it in
and breathes it out, he says,
bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Oh, he says, bye bye bye to all of the noise.
Hey child, things are looking down.
That’s okay, you don’t need to win anyways.
Don’t be afraid, just eat up all the gray
and it will fade all away.
Don’t let yourself fall down.
Bad day, looking for the great escape.
He says, bad day, looking for the great escape.
On a bad day, looking for the great escape,
the great escape.

little bit buggy

Missed my train one day which left me with an hour to kill till the next one. Luckily I had some gorgeous sun, a nice spot a grass, my cam, and a friendly lady to keep me company.

addicted to the pola...

an afternoon with pip and tamp

inspiration

I know, I really should be giving the source and credit for all these wonderful items, but at the time when I find the images I never think to grab all that info. Something I'll try to take more notice of in the future.
