barbette.

another friendly guest post from 'the boyfriend' :

on our last day out on the (up)town we took our nearly matching blue v-necks for a stroll.

around mid-day our stomachs informed us that it was time to find food and our camera informed us that this food had better be found in a cute spot.

after walking a few blocks with nothing seeming to jump out at us, we came across this gem.

Barbette - a cozy, quaint little french bistro with a lovely street side patio. perfection.

- needless to say, both of our stomachs and our camera were happily satisfied -

the most lovely spot.

well, my little vancouver trip has come to an end.
but i will be re-living it these next few days
as i share pictures + stories from my glorious little holiday.

first up,
the most lovely spot.
the award goes to finch's.

it's a tiny little breakfast + lunch spot, tucked away in almost obscurity.

the walls are peeling, the floors are old hardwood,
twinkle lights are intertwined with pine garland,
little carnations in tiny glass vases are placed on each table,
and big fat delicous baguettes are brought out on waxed brown paper.

i could not stop gushing about the place in between bites of my delightful baguette.
and i think thanked danielle about ten times for taking me.
{she had been there with her family a few weeks before}so if you ever find yourself in vancouver,
you must must go.

can't wait to catch up on everyone's blogs!
it's so nice coming home to a weekend...
between work + two christmas parties + unpacking + christmas shopping,
it's sure going to be a full one!
