Visiting two lovely ladies in Ladysmith

I spent a weekend away from the busy city to visit my good friends Stacey and Sarah.  It had been quite a while since we had spent a decent amount of time together catching up.  They had recently moved to Vancouver Island from Winnipeg which they had left Vancouver for the year prior.  I was beyond thrilled to hear that we would be located in the same province again!  After they had settled, I planned a visit to come out their way to celebrate Sarah's birthday.  We visited Coombs where they have a ton of cute shops and the famous "goats on the roof".

The visit was filled with great food, wine and there was no shortage of laughing fits.  I had such a great time and I look forward to my next visit!

Enjoy some of photos from our trip.

This is the song that I chose to go with this post:

Catered Party at Papi's Market

I was privileged enough to be a part of a friend’s private birthday dinner party that took place at Papi's Market in Steveston.  By day, this shop holds an array of European cheeses, pre-made edibles, dried pastas, spices, sauces, cookies, oils and much more.  By night, the owners Ken & Claudette put together a long table setting and fill it with 5 courses of delectable dishes.  It was a ton of fun and I am so glad that I was able to enjoy this evening with some of my favorite people.

Enjoy the eye feast!
