Labour Day Summer

It's been a very summery labour-day weekend. TJ and I have not gotten into any kind of routine yet, as school has not gotten into full swing yet for either of us, and I am still jobless. Anyway, we have had the chance to enjoy some awesome vancouver things.

1. The night market in Richmond. We went with Becky and Pascal, and it was good. It was kind of a whiff of China for me - little reminders, little smells. It made me want to visit Hong Kong.


2. Making art with TJ. Together we made a quick trip to a local thrift store for supplies and enjoyed putting some final touches on our new pad. We got inspired to make some new pieces of art. I did a terrarium (pictured below) and TJ did another quick piece. I love working with him, it's so much fun!

3. Beach walks. Walked down to Kits beach today with Ares and TJ, had a cheeseburger, sat under a tree, dipped my feet in the waves. Ahhh.

4. Laundry and Iced Tea. Hung the laundry outside in the sun to dry, and made sun-soaked licorice mint iced tea.

  3. Nice shoes, TJ! ;)

    Hanging laundry makes me smile! Sometime over this past year, I stopped using the dryer completely. It's great!
