It is the first of February, and I have yet to step in snow. I looked outside and saw it once but it melted as it touched the ground and then quickly turned to rain. Despite all my good childhood memories of snow, I haven't really missed it. Ryan and I both really love the rain. Having to carry an umbrella seems like such a small sacrifice to be able to take long walks in the middle of the winter without freezing or slipping. People are just starting to arrive here for the Olympics - the WINTER Olympics - but it already feels like Spring.

About
Britt McMaster is addicted to cucumbers. She and her husband, Ryan, live and work in a tiny apartment in downtown Vancouver, BC. Both Ryan and Britt love to write lists of all their ideas on action sheets, and they have pages and pages. They write especially quickly after they've each had a dry cappuccino or two. Most of those fanciful ideas will stay on paper, but Cucumbersome is Britt's platform to try some out.

I really like these kitschy florals. Reminds me of grandma, spring, morning tea, and flea markets.
Isn’t High Street Market great?
Oh, we’re having more winter than I want here! Snow last weekend, frozen rain today, more snow forecasted for the end of the week!
But those florals are making me want to wear a dress tomorrow! What’s a girl to do?
I love that “spring” has begun. I just got the feb 2010 anthro catalogue in the mail, and it made me excited for SUMMER. I love love love it. Alao, OnceWed is possibly one of the greatest website to be on when you have a few hours to kill. (outside of cucumbersome, of course..)
