A little bit of Hope

Pardon the silence, since my mom got here we've spent pretty much every day exploring the beauty of British Columbia. Yesterday we drove up to Hope, a small town full of charm, chainsaw wood carvings and elderly people.


Unfortunately, pretty much everything was closed for the winter so we decided to drive to the Kilby historic site in Harrison Mills. We didn't go into the museum because it was only open for about one more hour and it looked very small, but there was a cute restaurant with homemade pies and ice cream as well as a great selection of handmade pieces from the area - jewelry, quilts, toys, post cards, ...
My mom bought a cute little patchwork cosmetic bag for $4 and I bought a silver bracelet for $20 - I looove the prices in the Fraser Valley. Everything is so much cheaper than in Vancouver :)
