2315 Main St Vancouver BC

Here are a few quick shots that I took of the new store.

The large rectangles of light in the ceiling are wonderful skylights. They remind me of a gallery in Prague that I used to love going to because it was a giant room with huge skylights that made you feel weightless as if you were underwater. In the shop it feels more like you are bathed in something very precious....because light in Vancouver is a precious commodity.


This is Dane and Chris installing our temporary sign on the Sunday that we opened.

one word. BUSY. school is almost finished, but i am working through to the end of july. august is off, so i'm hoping to get steve out of thinking that money matters as much as it really does-- one of us (me) has another year of school left! hey v... get your pretty face on facebook! it's SO much easier than this!

What is facebook? Are you on it so I can see your pretty face?

Money does matter, but it also matters as an investment which is what you are doing b going to school. Sometimes the money you don't see right away turns out to give the greatest return.

I think it's good that you have a man that believes that money has some value. We joke out here about 'East Van beardos that mooch of thier girlfriends'. In Toronto that's kinda like 'Queen st musician who lives off of his girlfriend'

What's your blog address? I can't find it!
