Hello my sweets! How was your weekend? And for those of you in Canada, how was your Victoria Day long weekend? I had a pretty awesome weekend. Played guitar in the backyard, had Krispy Kreme, reconnected with an old friend, watched In Treatment with my brother, tried Verity’s cooking, went to the park for a stroll, and as you can see here, afternoon tea at The Urban Tea Merchant with the girls =) not bad for one weekend, huh?

We looked for a place to grab quick lunch before heading to something more serious, and ended up at Smart Mouth Cafe. It is a quaint Gastown café with a large window view for people-watching. They serve tasty sandwiches, pastries, and great coffee, with very friendly service! We also managed to snap a few pictures in Gastown before time ran out.

Front & Company is always a stop on the Main Street stroll. It is a consignment clothing store that sells both used and new fashion. I think it just might be my favorite place to shop in Vancouver. the spacious store is a pleasure to browse even when they’re busy. they have a good mix of consignment and new clothing, accessories, whimsical gift wares, stationery, and house wares. Everything is well organized and not overcrowded on the racks. There’s plenty of stuff for the guys too!
With all consignment/thirft stores you have to be patient and really dig through the items, and for me that’s the best thing about shopping at a place like this. it just makes those precious one-of-a-kind, fated-to-be yours items so much more special. Happy shopping!
