Lori from Simple Essence Life Design came to me with an existing business card design and was looking for a slight re-work. I liked the image and thought that the sentiment could be even stronger paired down.
Simple Essence Life Design offers an opportunity for those who are “wanting to increase your joy factor in life, wanting to learn how to deal with your kids differently, looking for help finding your true passion in life, or just feel like your life could really use a boost up to the next level”, an opportunity to take confident strides in the right direction. Stay tuned for news on her website.

Tempura Cod Tacones one: $5.00 / two: $9.00
Sweet-smoked chili adobo + pea shoots + lemon pickled onions
It’s a deal, it’s a steal. Plenty of moist fish with a crispy coating, crunchy slaw-like filling and one is enough for lunch. The best part is they offer sustainable 100% Ocean Wise seafood and an earth friendly reuse and recycle system. The clam chowder seemed popular as did the Wild Pacific Fish and Chips (salmon, halibut, cod). Next time I’d like to try the Local Shrimp Roll (“lobster roll style”), curry chips, BBQ Thetis Queen Tuna, BBQ Fanny Bay Oyster Sandwich….. Red Fish Blue Fish is located in the Inner Harbour at 1006 Wharf Street at the foot of Broughton on the pier below Wharf Street. They’re open until 5pm 7 days a week, 3pm on rainy days like today.

Fabric and vinyl art at HOME! Download inkbloom’s designs, recolour them or coordinate with your project, add text to personalize and print on your inkjet. Cotton fabrics and vinyl are also available from them online. I’m thinking product tags, business cards, personalized pillows…

Red Hot Bicycle Wedding Invitation designed by Beth Campbell Creative
Happy 6 week anniversary (tomorrow) M&P! These wedding invites and announcement cards were a joy to design. I was inspired by this couple’s eye for design, their soft spot for bicyclettes and their killer style. The poppies in the basket on the bike are a nod to the bride’s poppy tattoo. It’s the little things that make something personal, and that much more special. I love these shots from their wedding in April. Check out the bride’s gorgeous blue dress, the grooms fab hat and the booze canoe!

from www.richardpowers.co.uk
Taken with these images from photographer Richard Powers. Powers is a self taught photographer, specializing in architecture and interiors. When asked what the most important thing is for good photography, he says, “balance is key – what and what not to include is as equally important as the shadows and highlights”. Loads more inspiration on his website.

Island Meat and Seafood Web Site
Good news! Just heard about a new butcher shop in Cook Street Village. Island Meat and Seafood at 307 Cook Street has a slick new website featuring a cool wood textured background with links to local suppliers, recipes, and general info. It’s great to see a new business like this put so much thought and care into a solid website. They are actively involved in the online community: join them onFacebook and Twitter.
I hear there are some other new noteworthy additions to Cook Street Village – full report to follow.
