Yay, Vancouver! :) Yay for great crafty shops, too - and Paper-Ya. Oh, Paper-Ya!
I live in the interior (of BC) and every time I go to Vancouver I discover something new I love! So far my favourites include main street (for urban source, the regional assembly of text, and front and co), granville island (for cute cafes and paper ya), and kits (for paboom and many other shops I don't know the name of!). So much fun! What a great city!
I once was in Vancouver on holiday, I loved the city and really want to visit it another time.
Congrats to all the citizens:) !
That tune is too funny ...

Happy Birthday Vancouver!
We may head down to some of the celebrations later today.
Paper Ya is one of my favourite stores here too. I also love Orling & Wu in Gastown.
A fabulous Vancouver faves list, Jan!
what perfect timing! i'm taking my boyfriend there next weekend for his very first introduction to vancouver. thanks for the list of good things! any suggestions for fancy tasty indian food?
Reading this list makes me miss Vancouver -I went to all those places when I lived there 5 years ago. A great city with so much to do!
Happy Birthday, Best City In The World! My favourite thing to do is sitting in the sun on Jericho Beach, looking at the skyline, the water, and the mountains.
I'm a new follower and was sent over by one of your readers and I'm so happy she did! I'm moving to Vancouver from Toronto and have been having a hard time finding great vancouver based blogs so this is a real treat. Thank you!!!!!
