like peonies in May or Vogue's September issue, you will find what is needed... in season
To me, neither spring nor summer in Kelowna is official without shopping at the local markets. As such, in response to many requests, I am sharing my list of spring and summer markets to visit, within Kelowna and a few nearby towns. There weren’t as many pop-up markets this year, but I was at least […]
While Easter in my family, compared to Christmas or Thanksgiving, is a very simple affair, it is just as good as a reason to bring out my great-nona’s china and purchase white flowers for the table.

’Tis the season for festive drinks and local Christmas markets. While nothing quite compares to sipping mulled wine in Italy (or most of Europe, really), I always look forward to the artisan markets that appear in and around Kelowna each year.
