Velouria ~ Seattle

Last time I was in Seattle, I came across this lovely little shop in Ballard, Velouria.  A store that only carries merchandise made by independent designers.  Never mass produced and made in the local Northwest area.  They have cute unique dresses, poppy graphic wallets and bags, super cute jewelry by an array of designers.  If you are in the Seattle area, click here for details on Velouria.

Chambar ~ Vancouver BC

This past weekend we went to an amazing restaurant in Vancouver, Chambar {pronounced sham-bar}. Not only was the decor the perfect setting for modern Belgian cuisine, but the food was a.m.a.z.i.n.g.! How could I deny these creative cocktails and deserts, such a treat and the best meal I’ve had in a long time. The warm lighting and unique art makes this a must go to for anyone visiting the Vancouver area. My favorite was the simple art that reads “Please take only what you need”, which is a true testimony to my green ways.
