merry christmas.

Warmest wishes to all my friends & family this Christmas season <3

bel cafe.

Took advantage of another weekday, for brunch at Bel Cafe.  Wonderful company, lovely pastries & finished off the meal with a delicious PB&J macaron.  Simple things.

honest.

Sometimes, too true.

snow.

First snowfall of the season...

different.

narnia.

Went to watch The Lion, the Witch & the Wardrobe at Pacific Theatre last night.  Was curious how they would do a stage production of this, and didn't realize until we arrived that it was a 2-man show!  It was an adaptation of the book, where Peter & Lucy reminisce to tell the story.  It was so amazing to see the actors use props & transition from role to role - you could really get into the story.

Taking advantage of the Christmas season!  Been a busy week full of my favourites - food, friends, & family :)

st. augustine's.

Had a wonderful catch-up with Karen at St. Augustine's last night, celebrating her return from 6 weeks away in Bali. 

It's a bit weird to think that she'll be around Vancouver for the near future, after years of just short visits.  She is one of my oldest friends, and I'm so happy that we'll get to spend more time together in the coming year :)

As I am fortunate to experience so often - a night of great food, great drink, & great company.

christmas market.

Took advantage of a weekday and went to the Vancouver Christmas Market last week.  Had a wonderful afternoon chatting, eating, drinking & shopping.  Highlights included a mug of apple-mulled wine, waffles on a stick, a ridiculous meatloaf sandwich, and the acquisition of a pickle ornament :)

I'm ready to be Christmas-y this year.
