A few of my favs...

Here are a few of my favourite things right now... all which I hope to enjoy this long weekend!

Magazines + Tulips


I love it when my InStyle magazine shows up in the mail. Nothing better than an easy read, a cup of tea and fresh tulips.

The Hunger Games


To say I've been obbsessed with this series would be an understatement. I haven't been able to put these books down. The Hunger Games are a pulse-pounding, page-turning trilogy. This gets 5 stars from me.

Coffee Mugs


I got these from Vancouver's wonderful decor boutique, The Cross. These paisley embossed mugs are so whimsical and feminine; perfect for my morning cup of coffee!

The Vancouver Canucks


Us Vancouverites are avid, fiesty and fearless Canuck fans. The NHL playoffs are happening and it's so much fun to get together with family and friends to cheer on the boys!
Go Canucks Go!

DIY Projects


Decorating our home office seems to be the never ending (but fun) project. Recently, I used some pure white gloss spray paint on a few picture frames and I'm so happy with how they turned out.

Better-Than-Crack-Brownies


And then there are these. Perfect. Delicious. Sinful. Brownies. I've got a batch in the oven right now... Cause the Easter bunny told me to.

After I polish off the brownies, I'm burning my skinny jeans.

I hope you're having a wonderful long weekend, enjoying your favorite things and spending time with the ones you love!

    Awww, this post made me smile Mary! InStyle is absolutely one of my faves too (esp the UK version!)- so accessible and full of 'real girl' style. And I hope the Canucks get it done next game! Hope you're having a great long weekend :)

    I've never heard of the Hunger Games. I'll have to look into it! I'm always looking for something good to read :D

    So similar in so many ways - I love tulips and this time of year always makes me happy. Also, I'm crazy obsessed with the Hunger Games series and I'm glad I'm not the only one. I read them three times in a row without stopping, and I never do that with books.

    I fully support crack brownies. Although, anything with chocolate tends to turn me into a relentless junkie. Its a good kind of bad :) Thanks for swinging by Deep Dish!

    I haven't read your blog in quite a while... thought I'd stop by to see if there was a post about cookies in an iron skillet. ;)

    Anyway, I have to say that I too LOVED the Hunger Games... was done all 3 in about 10 days, reading them every spare moment I had... talk about a page turner!!

    I'm so glad you found my blog and left a comment. This post grabbed me right away! I've only read the first Hunger Games book, but I love it and can't wait to get my hands on the rest of the trilogy! Also.. the Canadian Olympics practically took over my life (I lived in Canada for a few years of my childhood and remember it fondly.
