A Visitor from Australia

The author behind Hands on with X was in Vancouver last week and she took some great pictures of shops and sights around town. Jing takes great pictures of delicious food, and the places she visits all over Australia and abroad. 

Jing is wearing a Lark Gingham shirt and United Bambo pants. She's got a great watch and scarf on too.

This is her Billykirk leather bag that she's been using everyday for a year.

We had coffee together at Gene, and got to talking about how things are made, and what we like about the things we like.

Jing was also wearing her Pyrrha Integrity necklace in bronze, we liked how it looked with her polkadot scarf and check shirt. 

Thank you for the visit Jing, it was so nice to meet you in person!

In other news...

I would like to introduce you to Boxer. 

He is a special cat with great taste in packaging.

A customer of ours sent us these photos and explained that Boxer is in love with this Lark Bag, and has been for more then a year.

According to Courtney (and Brian) if you tell Boxer how nice his bag is it makes him happy, and if they try to take the bag away he gets sad. 

We offered Courtney a new Lark bag, and she admitted that she has brought some new ones home, but Boxer likes his old bag and isn't ready to move on. 

Both Courtney and Brian have gotten so used to their cats favourite toy that they refer to it as 'The Bag'.

Thank you to Courtney and Brian for sharing this story with us, it made our day.

Gloveral Duffle done right

I found this picture while trolling the internet. It was too cute not too share. All shibu inaru dogs should wear Gloverall Duffles don't you think?
