The Anthology’s Pinstagram column marries the dream (Pinterest) and the reality (Kelsey Dundon’s Instagram photos of places and faces in and around Vancouver). Earned stripes. My favourite striped Topshop maternity dress and a shirt that would look great on my baby girl once she outgrows all her onesies. Faster than a… The world’s speediest (and blurriest) Jack Russell Terrier puppy and another [...]
As far as I’m concerned it’s the bigger the better when it comes to photos. In fact, this one by British Columbian photographer Alison Francis would look amazing the size of a living room wall. As wallpaper, even. Her work is on display at The Whip in Vancouver until May 29th and her prints are also available [...]
I met Shannon Rupp years ago when I was a young arts writer and since then she’s become a friend and a mentor. In this guest post, the culture critic shares the odd experience of watching an old friend portrayed on stage by a dashingly handsome actor. As an arts journalist I’m used to interviewing performers who are [...]
My walls are covered with massive photos.

If I were to add to my collection, Barbara Cole’s ethereal underwater prints would be a (wet) dream. The Toronto-based photographer’s Underworld series will be showing [...]

Of the latter there are two kinds I love most — bamboo muslin swaddles by Aden and Anais and organic cotton blankets by Vonbon, a new line of luxury baby accessories handmade in Vancouver. I love their prints, I love their soft durability and I love [...]
These, I love. When a real celebration is in order there’s nothing better than a bouquet of balloons. Or, in this case, a single, gigantic, tassel-tastic balloon hand-decorated by Vancouverite (and a former colleague of mine) Amy Cheung of Confetti and Co. Sure beats the ones you get at the grocery store. [Photos from Confetti and [...]
Does hanging out with someone as enlightened as author and speaker Gabrielle Bernstein rub off on you? I don’t know, but I figured it was worth a shot. You can find my interview with the New York native here. [Photo from Kelsey Dundon's Instagram]
