This week is uber busy (not just with prepping packing, but a family birthday, medical appointments, another work trip for Tony, and various other things), so hopefully the days will pass quickly and before I know it, I'll be on the ferry again at long last and bee lining towards Vancouver Island. :)<br /><br />♥ JessicaWitchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-32890355421177720902014-09-15T08:01:52.670-07:002014-09-15T08:01:52.670-07:00So very, very excited for you, dear friend!!!

I haven't been on a vacation in years, but I think the next one I go on will have to be planned around some sort of vintage event as we have nothing like that anywhere in Alaska, that I'm aware of. Britches and Hose, oh my I laughed out loud, I hope you get to go. But first and for most, please, take care of yourself.

We used to live right across from the Oak Bay Marina when my husband was in university there. Oh how I love that spot! <br /><br />They have an excellent Italian Bakery and Bistro in the Oak Bay Village. <br /><br />I hit a very good thrift/vintage store the last time I was there, about 3 months ago, it was on Pandora just up from the downtown core. It was HUGE. I cannot remember the name of it : ( Ask around. There are a few good ones in Victoria itself.<br /><br />Have a wonderful trip!<br /><br />bisous<br />SuzanneSuzannehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03891315017218863243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-28417521851454447452014-09-03T13:25:12.849-07:002014-09-03T13:25:12.849-07:00Thank you very much, sweet gal.

Perhaps one day - Tony and I dream of having an RV of our own and traversing North America in it, so a lengthy journey isn't entirely out of the question somewhere in the future. <br /><br />I am been so inspired by your enchantingly beautiful travel photos (on your blog and Instagram) this summer and hope to bring back some of my own to fill a post or two with once we're home.<br /><br />Big hugs & happiest of ongoing travels!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-59376803140577749042014-09-03T11:37:39.479-07:002014-09-03T11:37:39.479-07:00Thank you sweetly, my lovely friend.

While I don't actually plan to buy much (my/our budget is largely for the expenses of the trip itself this time around), it is a safe bet to say that a few items for myself and the Etsy shop alike will return on the ferry home with me. Definitely! My list of vintage wants is huge and never seems to shirk, simply increase with each passing year. <br /><br />For myself, I'd really love to find more of the elements for my vintage ski/snow wear look, 40s shoes in my size (I don't currently own any genuine 40s shoes in my size), some Bakelite and celluloid jewelry for steal (a gal can dream!), a new hat or two, and some heavier weight sweaters for fall and winter, amongst others. Only time will tell if any of those come my way! :)<br /><br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-43710466482645868142014-09-03T10:34:41.431-07:002014-09-03T10:34:41.431-07:00Absolutely!

I love the dry, sagebrush covered world of the Okanagan, but having spent the first nine years of my life on the coast (the area around, and including Vancouver), there will always be a deeply rooted part of me that needs to connect periodically at least with the stunning greenery, lush moss covered forests, and majestic views of the Pacific Ocean and its landscapes and I am so looking forward to doing that in less than three weeks. <br /><br />Thank you for the great comment, dear Beate - big hugs!<br />♥ Jessica Witchcrafted Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02992822472797191121noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3423410690702297063.post-92199131733647751772014-09-03T10:14:27.945-07:002014-09-03T10:14:27.945-07:00I can hardly wait to take photos!
