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.
