weekend finds

I kind of went on a bit of a shopping spree this weekend, because there was just so many things I couldn't pass up.
I mean... a coat for forty bucks. It's not ridiculously cheap, but it's exactly what I wanted.
And I have a critical need for jewelry, so these were easily justifiable.
The earrings are rehabilitated vintage by Bueno Style, you can check out some of their other pieces here.

Bam.

Today I discovered all sorts of cool things. I thought I'd share.

1) The Wallflower on Main Street. Peach Waffles says it all. But the menu has a whole bunch of other intriguing stuff, like Blackened Halibut and Jalapeno Mac and Cheese. Plus, every month an artist is exhibited there. This month was some woodburning by Sara Stoness with ostriches and owls and people sitting in shopping carts. Sadly, I didn't have my camera, and I can't find any of her work online.

2) A red wool coat. You can never have enough wool coats.

3) Yarn Bombing. A crafty take on graffiti that seems to be pretty popular in Vancouver, though I've never seen any. Here's a few pictures from yarnbombing.com, based in Vancouver.

It's a cheeky take on 'raining cats an dogs'. How cute is that?
