Blast from the past – Museum of VancouverPosted by: naomi @ 1:07 pm in reviews, vintage finds |
What is the Museum of Vancouver? The Museum of Vancouver creates Vancouver-focused exhibitions and programs which encourage dynamic conversations about what was, is and can be Vancouver – basically it’s an awesome walk down memory lane with realistic displays of what life was like during different decades over the past 100 years.

The apple tarts of New Town Bakery in ChinatownPosted by: ryan @ 1:02 am in featured shops, food |
In Vancouver’s Chinatown, we have apple tarts that are comparable to the copious amounts of pastries I ate the last time I was in France. New Town Bakery has been serving Vancouver for over 30 years, making some of the best Asian baked goods in Chinatown. They make fantastic steamed buns and cookies, however they are famous for their apple tarts.

British Pub AntiquingPosted by: ryan @ 2:04 pm in featured shops, home decor |
Did you know there was a store in Vancouver dedicated to British Pub antiques? Neither did we. We came across The Source Antiques this past weekend while wandering around the Main Street/Chinatown district. The shop’s specialty is primarily Pub antiquities but they also have a large collection of stained glass windows, British military uniforms, nautical items and vintage door/window hardware. One of the things that caught my eye were these beautiful ceiling light covers that looked like they came right off of the Titanic.
