Autumn is the time of year many of us take to the skies
and travel. For those of us in Whistler, the shoulder season
(mid-October to mid-November) is when tourism is at its quietest and
all the activities we love to do have either just ended or are about to
begin. Even though the weather this Autumn is unseasonably warm
and dry, a getaway is still on the books. We all know the weather
will turn and the precipitation will fall. So where are you
going? My partner and I will be heading to Greece for our annual
climbing trip in November and many friends have booked sunny vacations
– we do this because there is time and also to fill the tank with sun
and warmth. When we return for December, the days will be
(hopefully) cold and at their shortest. A vacation of course does
not have to include a plane. There are many wonderful places one
can drive to get away from it all and either relax or continue to do
the activities the weather at home has stymied. On the other hand
for those of you who do not live in Whistler and are looking for a
quiet getaway, come to Whistler and embrace the quieter side of this
wonderful tourist town. Many restaurants and hotels offer reduced
rates, so come for a visit - we would love to see you!
It's fitting that I would choose the St
Christopher necklace as one of my highlights this week
as he is the patron saint of travellers. So whether you have
travelled here or are travelling away, you’ll have that extra layer of
protection. New in the handbag and boot department, we have the Hiley
crossbody bag by Matt & Nat available in vineyard
and black and the Miz Mooz Heart
boot in bordeaux
and black. Lastly,
one of our favourite design groups, Pursuits, has done it again with
their Hex Hex
necklace - sturdy glass orbs in an elegant but edgy
design.
Another reminder that our Whistler village store hours have now
changed for the season so if you're planning to stop in for a visit, we
hope to see you on Sunday -
Thursday from 10am - 6pm and Friday and Saturday from
10am - 7pm. As always, you can
still shop all of our new arrivals, jewellery, handbags, footwear,
housewares, gifts, sales, and more on our website! |
