Simple Pleasures

Local outdoor festivals. This is a photo I took at the Tulip Festival yesterday — a perfect late spring day, with lots of happy people taking photos of the gorgeous blooms.

Atelier: Herriott Grace

I was visiting Herriott Grace recently and once again was reminded why it's one of my favourite online shops — the combination of gorgeous photography and lovely goods has me swooning every time. The story behind the company is lovely, too — Toronto-based designer Nikole Herriott loved the beautiful wooden spoons and bowls her British Columbia-based father Lance would make for her, and eventually persuaded him that others would, too.
