Ahhhhhhh Vacation

Well its that time of year folks :: the family getaway vacation!! It seemed like forever ago we booked our campsite on the Oregon Coastline, but in a blink of an eye....its time to pack our bags + head south across the border, on a hopefully fantabulous adventure!!!

Its come at a really good time too, as life is about to get a lil crazy with Christmas is just around the corner + i seem to have WAY to much business stuff on my brain.  I find its good to just take a good break from it all, let your mind declutter + thats when the really awesome ideas come forth!!!  Ps :: there could be some changes in the near future, but i need a touch more time to really think on it before i take a leap - wink!

Anyways i've decided to leave our lil boutique  'open', but as we will be away from the 1- 15th of September, nothing will be shipped until after the 16th!  We will also be sans internet/instagram/facebook (which i'm kinda looking forward too, those iPhones are awfully addictive lil contraptions aren't they!!!) , so don't be offended if i don't respond for a few sleeps!

So Au Revoir my friends, i will see you in 2 weeks all refreshed + sparks a flying'!

Salt Spring Island getaway

Well just a hop, skip + a jump away, is Salt Spring Island...a beautiful little place made up of artisans,farmers + fisherfolks. It has the most beautiful character homes nestled within big big trees, funky cafes,and bustling with all walks of life who are definitely there to enjoy a slower pace of life. Everyone supports + enjoys the local produce and there is such a sense of community that kinda left us not wanting to leave in the end. But I'm pretty sure it will always be there + things won't be changing in a hurry :)

1. Trains in Canada go forever - making it great for me to practice with my shutter speed for my photography! the lefthand side is fast shutter speed(fast = everything in focus) + righthand side is slow shutter speed(really captures movement ~ think i love this mode!)
2. Lil Bea chillin on the ferry deck with her dad!!
3. Portholes - lovely view of old wooden doors + round windows
4. This is how I imagined Canada before I came here :)
5. All over Salt Spring Island are little shacks with fresh produce for sale :: eggs, flowers  + veggies.
6. Took sooo many photos of the sunsets! Every hour was more beautiful than the last!
7. Little babe is sleeping:: so me, the Mr + the kidlets are chilling on the porch, watching all the     fishing boats + float planes coming in for the day.

Hop, skip + a jump

Well for this reason + that reason, we are spending 3 days on Salt Spring Island, which is a bit of alright! And the 3 hour ferry ride from the mainland, gave me a great opportunity to work on my photography :).....so will be posting more snippets as soon as I can!
