Dear Diary, today I made a friend.

This week is off to a good start, friends.

I've started my new job & know I'm going to love it.

Now I have my mornings free to attend to the Citizen Rosebud's Etsy shop. And now shipping is available 3 days a week. Tuesdays, Thursdays & Saturdays. More daylight too, for photo shoots, so expect to see a fuller shop soon.

My recent contribution to the the Midtown Monthly's blog, a photo-essay on our recent Art Second Saturday seems to have stirred up a bit of conversation regarding crowds & crime and culture. You can add your own comments if you want to, here.

AND best-est of all, I got to see the latest feature of  HYPEED magazine, where you'll colorful characters such as Lynzy of From Skirts to Skillets and the uber-chic Jemina cavorting in the online pages with...the likes of me! I made it in the feature, and I'm proud to say it feels pretty swell! You can see my ugly mug as well as the whole HYPEED feature here. 

Oh, and let me just mention that there's one more thing to look forward to on Sundays. Sac Cycle Chic is organizing a "Cycle Chic Sundays" ride every third Sunday of the month, starting August 22nd, and you're invited! For more details click here.

I have another little treat to share with you, and I'm saving that for tomorrow. 

Hint:

• Florals. 
• Canadians.

What's NOT to love?
