I love Boreal Forest Poster (and all of their items!) by Banquet Atelier & Workshop from Vancouver.
I love the work that Banquet does - we have two of their prints up in our home (and love the cards) and the Boreal Forest print is a fave for our 2 year old. It's so great to be able to point at animals and flora and hear her name them - definitely both unconventional and beautiful, which is really what it's all about for us!

I love RVN Industrial Lighting by Robyn Murrell from New Westminster.
RVN Industrial Lighting is an amazing mix of vintage pieces combined with an industrial edge that creates a lighting fixture that makes a statement with any decorating style. Robyn's items are all one of a kind and made with such creative energy. I can't decide which lights are my favourite - her Crank-it-Over line made with recycled bike parts, the crystal footed bowls turned pendants or the aged farming cream separator pendant that casts a subtle design on the ceiling!! I wish I had one of her unique lights in every room of my home.

I love garments by ad lib from Vancouver.
Zoe has designed a suit using material which recreates the style of an aerogramme letter as its print motif. As someone who spent her childhood skulking about McGills Stationery on Londsdale, this fusion makes me very happy indeed.

I love compostable lip balms by Fable Naturals from Vancouver.
I love these vegan lip balms I got at the market last week. They are packaged in a compostable tube, so no plastic! All of their products have healthy ingredients so I'm excited to try the rest out.

I love Ceramic Coffee Cup by Native Northwest from BC.

I make Labrador tea and I'm Burns Bog Conservation Society in Delta.
The Labrador tea is picked in Richmond and sold as a fundraiser for the Burns Bog Conservation Society.

It has been used by First Nations for a number of things including colds, blood poisoning, relaxing, chasing away moths and ghosts! A well-known Canadian cosmetic company out of Quebec is including it in some of its products and claims that Labrador tea is rejuvenating and reduces aging!

I love Jewelry by Adea Chung from North Vancouver BC.
Adea uses reclaimed wood from guitars and skateboards and other places to create handcrafted wooden pendents, earings, belt buckles and cufflinks. Her work totally embodies her connection to nature and is very west coast and also cheeky.

I love Herb Garden by Urban Zucchini from Vancouver.
Living in an apartment downtown, I would love for a little green space to grow my own veggies, but it's just not in the cards. My cute little herb garden has chives, cilantro, and parsley and grows so well in the sun-lit window. The handmade box it comes in is so cute and goes well with my apartment. It's lovely having fresh herbs in the house, and makes me want to eat much healthier.
