We splurged our Airmiles this summer on a quick trip to Vancouver to see Vermeer's Love Letter etc at the VAG. Divine! All those years of being gouged at Safeway paid off. We also took in Granville Island and this cool shop where I found the purse above. 
The next two are from another 3 day trip to Jasper. We go every year and always manage to pop into this store. A couple of great finds this time! So yes, a brilliant summer, all in all, but also an exhausting one. Winter is more suitable for hermit-souls, perhaps. The only way I could squeeze in writing most weeks was to get up at 6am and write before going to work. Lots of delicious late evenings in the backyard with wine, G & T, books, friends...so not complaining, but by now am in a pretty zombified state and counting the hours to that first day of school...
