Regatta

Here's to hoping that the Royal St. John's Regatta goes ahead tomorrow. I love that my hometown has a floating statutory holiday! So quirky and fun! Image via Planet Smasher.

P.S. Update at 8:00 am August 4, it's off to the races, folks!

Wallpaper

This is the perfect wallpaper solution for a broke student (or an uptown maven...). I wish I'd thought of it when studying in Kingston. The faux taxidermy is also fun. Images via Lace and Tea.

Framing

Always keen to find new options for DIY pop art, I love this idea originally from Blueprint and recently profiled on Little Green Notebook - using photographs of common items, blowing them up and framing them. I'd love to do a collection of our spatulas and cooking utensils.

Diner

I have a penchant for diners. I love French fries and milkshakes, and I'm slowly learning to enjoy burgers. Every time Greg and I visit Vancouver, we stop at the fantastic Moderne Burger on West Broadway with family and friends. We always have such fun! St. John's desperately needs a 50s Diner and Malt Shop. To make a diner-worthy, vanilla milkshake - I recommend this recipe.

Colour

Greg and I share a love of colour (particularly when accenting white). These Aaron Dyer photos are a perfect visual representation of our shared love. Colour is such a positive force!

Cola

We run a typically pop-free home, but these sweet cans make me want to crack one open. Image via Hi + Low.
