my front lawn is your front lawn

I'm a west coast writer, editor, design junky, fashion lover and book collector. After moving to Scotland in 2006 I spent the next five years making my way back home incrementally, by way of Oxford and Toronto. Today I can be found combing Vancouver's secondhand shops, jogging the seawall, and appreciating local microbrews.

The Front Lawn is where I put out my thoughts on design, fashion and culture. Dig your toes into the grass and stay a while!

oh canada!

I've been back on my home turf for two weeks as of tomorrow and have been reveling in the sunny weather, cheap restaurant food, loving family and fun friends. In the meantime, the digital world has taken a bit of a back seat and frankly, I'm enjoying it that way.

Here's the itinerary so far:  

4 days of adorable nephews, nieces, in-laws (sisters, brothers, parents, cousins, grandparents... whew!), thrifting, boating, Tim Horton's-ing, and learning to ride a motorbike!!

1 yummy & sunny beachside picnic 

5 days of working on a gorgeous magazine at TWU, a lunch-date-a-day, dinners with friends and a haircut

1 brunch with five of my favourite PA friends & co., followed by coffee with a long lost highschool bestie (yup, I just used that word!)

right now I'm in the middle of 6 glorious days on Vancouver Island which so far have included churching, prawning, middle-aged aerobicizing, jogging through the forest with our family pooch and icecream cake with the Dumont kidlets. whew!

Today I'm off to Victoria to see the first of four babies I'll be visiting this trip.

Just over a week to go!
