Vancouver Island View

Bringing you ideas about the best ways to explore the island.

Is it too early to talk about Fall? It's my favourite season, so I tend to start dreaming about the crisper days and brighter colours right around now.

I've updated two fall articles this past week and am sharing them below.

If you aren't quite ready to read about autumn activities, I also have an updated article about my favourite Island drive. It's beautiful no matter what time of year it is.

Fabulous Find!

The Loghouse Farm store (on Etsy) creates beautiful handcrafted pottery and unique home decor. It is a small family-owned business in the mid-island area. All pottery is made by hand or on a potter's wheel and kiln-fired in small batches. Right now, you can get 10% off most items.
