Bricolage

Yes, it has been a while, but I refused to come back here until I had a brand new site and a sufficiently snobby-sounding title for myself. Britt McMaster, Bricoleur. I think I’ll get business cards made up.
From Wikipedia: “The term is borrowed from the French word bricolage, from the verb bricoler, the core meaning in French being, “fiddle, tinker” and, by extension, “to make creative and resourceful use of whatever materials are at hand (regardless of their original purpose)”. In contemporary French the word is the equivalent of the English do it yourself, and is seen on large shed retail outlets throughout France. A person who engages in bricolage is a bricoleur.”
There’s been a whole lotta’ bricolage going on around here, and I’ll be showing you the results real soon.
In order to boost the activity here, I have added a tumblr feed to the side column. I often come across photos or ideas that I want to share, but I have so little to add that it doesn’t really warrant a full post. In most cases, the photos speak for themselves. For example, the photo above is from the most beautifully curated shop here in Gastown (Vancouver) called Old Faithful Shop. All I really have to say is if you are in the area, you must check it out. Also, if you are thinking of buying me a gift, absolutely anything there will do (real subtle, I know).
Thanks to my darling husband for redesigning my site!
