My Mom and her friend Rhonda have been visiting this last week. We had the best time.
Yesterday we went to Salt Spring Island. In the summer there is a big outdoor craft/farmers market and it is worth the trip. The weather was also perfect - I love warm days when you can wear a t-shirt and feel completely comfy.
Brad and I went a little crazy - we both bought new t-shirts (his has a rhino on it!) and I couldn't resist the green one with the cat - ten bucks and so ugly it's cool! That cat screen print is gold people.
We bought a pretty container for olive oil and a pottery casserole dish. I'm seeing some kind of roasted marinaded chicken in there - I have to find a recipe. I also bought a new pair of earrings.
We found real gelato over there and a pub where you can bring your own take-out food and sit on their patio. For real.
The salad (15 kinds of lettuce) and cheese we are eating tonight with a fresh baguette. We are already planning our next trip over there this summer - it's a half hour ferry ride from Victoria - what the hell?!

Jealous. :-)
I would like to see pictures of these Tshirts please. OR, you could wear them when I meet you! Haha, just joking... however they would prolly go over well if I take you to a hipster restaurant.
Sounds like a great place. Glad you had a good visit with your mom and her pal!
Ha! Ha! Don't assume we are hipsters, we aren't and I will post pictures if YOU post pictures of your shoes!
Must see more of this golden cat screen. I *love* the so-bad-it's-good style. :)
I miss being able to head over to Salt Spring for the Saturday market. It's pretty awesome there, hey? I nearly shelled out for a ruby ring once, and even though I didn't splurge, I think about that ring all the time.
By the way, your mom came to say hello to us at the Harbour! It was so nice to see her and to meet her friend, too. Please tell her thanks for stopping by. :)
