Adventures in Fort Langley

This past weekend, we headed out to Fort Langley for the Little White House's Noel Vintage Market- what better way to spend the day with the girls! It was an absolute downpour out, but that didn't stop hundreds of people from stopping by for the Christmas market. It was so great to see so many new people discovering my favourite little gem of Fort Langley! There was a great selection of handmade and vintage DIY goods- it was like peeking into the wonderful world of Pinterest wins. It definitely got the ideas flowing for Christmas. And there are like 4 scarves that I may or may not go back for at Little White House. Because my obsession for blanket scarves is insatiable.

Once we'd taken a full tour of all the vendors, and snacked on holiday punch and gold-dusted macarons (yes, please!), we headed over to Krause Berry Farms for lunch. Best decision ever. We tried their roasted corn chowder (made on-site) with asparagus bread...and a giant apple waffle. Oh man. Unreal. With the rain beating on the roof, a cozy fire place by the table, rustic-inspired decor...it was such a great spot to spend the afternoon! And it couldn't hurt that wine tasting was 5 steps away in the same room. Shopping, food and wine: that's my idea of a perfect day.

Fort Langley Cranberry Festival

Let me start by saying that this fall's style trend is all about the blanket scarf, and perhaps this is more of a warning, but you're going to be seeing an awful lot of them here on the blog this season, because yours truly is obsessed with blanket scarves in every colour, fabric, and cut. If you have to ask why, then I seriously recommend throwing one over your fall outfit and you'll completely understand. Comfy and chic? Yes, please!

In honour of the annual Fort Langley Cranberry Festival, which gets bigger and busier every year, I thought I'd style some cranberry shades to match. I always find this event really puts me in the fall mood, eating cranberry kettle corn, admiring creative pumpkin centrepieces, finding all kinds of handmade local goods, and of course, buying fresh bags of cranberries (for home-made cranberry sauce at Thanksgiving dinner!). One of my all-time favourite Cranberry Festival activities is tasting some tire - boiling pure maple syrup poured on a bed of snow and then rolled onto a stick, hardened- from Maples' Sugar Shack. A quintessentially Canadian treat I wait all year for. If you haven't been before, mark  your calendars for October 9th, 2016!
