Quick post on my summer Fargo getaway, checking out a couple of old favourites and new spots that opened within the last year.

- Red River Market for some local goods. I got some local hot sauce and lavender tonic mixer - 

- Young Blood Coffee for an iced honey miel -

- The White House Co. for amazing vintage finds - 

- Prairie Petals with gorgeous dry and fresh flower bouquets - 

- Yeobo Sweet Shop for a quick gummy treat - 

- Onyx + Pearl for some curated clothing and lifestyle goods - 

- Rosey's Bistro for lunch -

I totally outdid myself last Friday discovering too many new things around downtown Winnipeg.

In no particular order, I recommend checking out the following:

* A new 'mural' behind the City Hall, just across from Chinatown - the floor is painted vibrant hues of pink, red and purple. Too pretty not to share!

* The Coal and Canary pop up shop at 73 Princess Street - my favourite local candle company has a storefront and it's everything I imagined it to be: pretty, pink and fabulous!

* Mur Lifestyle Studio at 70 Arthur Street - not a new spot but this well curated lifestyle store has a whole bunch of new home goods that I'm adding to my wish list. 

* Pop Cart has an UBE Bubble Tea popsicle - if you know ube, need I say more?

* Locally grown flowers from Prairie Blossom - I had to stop over these bouquets while at Alleyways Market. To know that they were grown locally made me even more in awe. 

* Cordova Tapas & Wine - a new spot for drinks, imported cheese, tapas and good times. I totally recommend their cheese platters.

* All the happenings at The Forks for the Canada Summer Games 2017 - As this year's host to the festivities, this place has been packed with tons of outdoor activities including markets, art installations and free concerts.

No elaborate blog or vlog post today but I've been lugging my camera everywhere taking snapshots of the province. Hope you enjoy snippets of my summer so far. Here's to August!
