Show & Tell // Old Faithful Shop // Part II

We had another Show & Tell sponsored by Old Faithful Shop a couple weeks ago, where we first told you about this amazing gem in Gastown, Vancouver. We received and email from a reader so excited to go check out this awesome store, so we thought we would share a few more favourites from the shop! Not from Vancouver? Check them out online.

Bethany // As a sucker for anything with fur, especially my puppy Sid, I love cute pet accessories! I actually bought some thick rope and a hook to make a leash like this a while back but it's a bit harder than you may think when you have a 100 pound beast that it has to restrain. But, this leash is perfect! I love the simple black rope, and gold details. So sleek. 

 

I love these vintage style lightbulbs! They can be hard to find, but Old Faithful has a  great selection of a few different styles! We have a few of these hanging in our living room, one of the many projects in our apartment was installing a dimmer in our living room and hanging some of these with yellow-yarn-wrapped cord, it looks soo much better than the ugly white globe light that was there before! These bulbs give off a nice dim glow too, perfect ambiance!  

Every time i go into Old Faithful, the chocolate bars always draw me in. The packaging is adorable and it really is amazing chocolate. This bar is Dark Chocolate & Chilli Peppers, really unique spicy flavour.  YUM.

Something New: I got bangs this week! I've been planning it for a while and I finally did it, I made it a whole year and a half (a record for sure). New hair is fun!
 Something Inspiring: ummm going to New York on Tuesday with 2 of my best friends? This is new! I Haven't really been before (other than a few hours with my husbands band, doesn't really count though) This feels like a whole new adventure and I am so excited. Going on trips with friends is something I haven't really done much of and I can't wait. We're exited to tourist it up a bit too, any things we need to see??    
 
Something Disturbing: I bought this delicious chipotle mayo and it is soooo good. I've eaten a lot of it, too much. I bought it for sandwiches and then I tried it with pizza...then wings....mmm
 Something I'm Listening To:  This week I finally got to see my good friends Dear Rouge play! I am a big fan of these people, Dan and I have gotten to know and hang out lots with Drew and Danielle over the past few months and it was so good to see them perform, needless to say I've been crankin' their music ever since Tuesday night and cannot wait for their new songs to come out because they are sooooo good.

Something New: 

I got back from a quick trip to Arizona with my mom and sister yesterday. It was so nice to go spend sometime in the heat! It was 42 degrees everyday, and I loovvveee it. We just spent most of our days laying by the pool, and going out for food. It was a bit of a bummer waking up this morning to Vancouver rain. 

Something Inspiring: In FOUR DAYS we will be in New York together. So excited, and just knowing that we are going to Alt Summit has been inspiring for us to "get our act together" with the blog and business in all aspects. Can't wait for how inspired we will be when we leave. 
Something Disturbing: Last week was National Donut Day. Lets just say, I celebrated. 
Something I'm Listening To: Citizens new(ish) self titled album is always on repeat in my car. I loovveee it.

Something New: 
Kalos has lots of big plans for the summer, it is always our favorite time for our business because of all the fun things we get to do. We are leaving for New York in 3 days for our Alt Summit blogging convention! We are also planning a very exciting party for the beginning of July! (We'll keep you posted!) We are also starting to prep for Folk Fest mid July! If you are in Vancouver this summer, please look out for these plans for we would LOVE to meet you and share some fun summer times!
Something Inspiring: I have been listening to some of our demo's from my band and I am feeling super blessed to be making music with such talented boys. The way they write is very inspiring and I am always blown away by the adventures & tales told in each song. I am excited to release new music with them and tour in the summer!
Something Disturbing: Oh man. My poor poor phone has taken a harsh beating. I was dancing at a show the other night (Tegan's husband played in a Cake cover band called "FAKE") and my phone flew out of my backpack pocket and hit the ground. The whole front of my phone is shattered, but it still works! I just need to be careful not to cut my face and fingers up.... My phone has been a real trooper. I have had it for 2 years and during that time it has survived falling in the toilet, falling off a 3 story boat and sliding to the back near the edge almost falling in the water, it was saturated in bubble solution when I accidentally dropped a huge bucket full of it in my friend Elaine's car last fall... and now this. I feel quite proud of it being able to withstand my clumsy adventures.

 Something I'm Listening To: My friend Mike Edel played a show at the Media Club last night. He is such a talented musician, and puts on a really great show. Definitely check out his tunes, great for summer days kickin it in the park.

Something New:  I bought heals for the first time in....years! I think the last time I wore heals was to Bethany's wedding! CRAZY! I had a really fun time shopping in the states yesterday with my mom and Linds for some NY shoes and bought some VERY high heals, I'm really excited to wear them! Also, I bought runners! Haven't bought those in...well even longer than the last time I bought heals.

Something Inspiring:  Philippians 4:7  "And the peace of God, which transcends all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.I've repeated this in my head a lot this last week, I've needed a lot of help feeling His peace lately, and let's just say the peace of God really does surpass all understanding!

Something Disturbing: Oh man, I lied, the last time I bought runners was in Australia, this is embarrassing, Dan and I both bought new runners the first week we got to Australia with great plans to go running all the time, let's just say they were very, very white when we gave them to the thrift store before we came back home, so sad.

Something I'm Listening To: 
I've been listening to Maclean "Talker" all week. If you haven't heard them, this is definitely worth a listen!

Something new// The boys in my band and I are booking shows for our upcoming tour! It is creeping up so fast and I am getting very excited. I love tour so much and feel very blessed to travel with my friends and play music & meet more friends along the way. We are touring Vancouver Island, and across to Alberta, as well as a Western US tour.

Something inspiring// I snatched last minute Sigur Ros tickets this week to their show in Vancouver (jealous of all who went to Sasquatch this past weekend.. it sounded AMAZING). The show was unreal.. so much talent, so much magic. It started to rain throughout the set which made it rather dramatic. There were also girls in the back of the stage wearing velvet dresses playing the horns. I was extremely inspired to buy a velvet dress.. and to pick up my french horn and take some lessons. Although, I know that will most likely mean me sitting in front of my computer playing along to free french horn youtube lessons, while my roomies listen (/laugh) from downstairs.

Something disturbing// This week Tegan and I worked at the Mumford and Sons show selling beer! It was a great deal, especially to see M&S for free! Although...... Tegan was put in a booth with a bunch of our friends, and they assigned me to a separate booth. I walked over to a table full of 10 burly, restaurant bartender dooods. Now, I know I shouldn't be complaining, but it's one thing to receive beer from a burly bartender.. than to be standing next to him YELLING out orders to the other doods standing behind me. It was outrageous. Me and the bros. I could barely yell, but they wouldn't take my order unless I screamed it at them. My voice was shot by the end of the night.. It ended up being a hilarious time, but BOY was I out of my comfort zone.

Something I'm listening to// Noah Gundersen. Such a beautiful raspy voice for such a young guy. Give him a listen!

Something New // I coloured my hair black! I've always had darker hair, and having the light ombre was fun but I started to miss being dark. Change is always a little shocking at first, but I'm getting used to it. Feels good to be back to my roots (but not literally). 

Something Inspiring // We are going to start posting some tutorial videos on the blog. I'm inspired by creative people that include all aspects of media in there blogs, or business. So we're branching out to a new side. 

Something Disturbing // How many episodes of The Office I have watched this week. I don't even want to tell you... But I will. 3 seasons. shame. I've started getting really invested in Jim & Pam's relationship, I've seen these episodes so many times, but I get teary everytime he asks he out on their first date. 

Something I'm listening to // I actually haven't been listening to anything new this week.. (I haven't actually had time with all this office watching haha) Any suggestions for me?
