    If you haven't been to Barnston Island, you're missing out on an adventure. First, there's the…read morewacky ferry to get over there. It's basically a tugboat with a barge attached that chugs back and forth across the river every ten minutes or so. You can drive, but the ferry has limited capacity for cars (maybe six?), no public parking on the island, and you have to back up off the ferry when you get to Barnston Island. It's better to leave the car in the free lot at the end of 104 Ave in Surrey and walk or take your bike. (The ferry is also free.) Most of the island is private property (lots of "no trespassing" signs), although there is one park at the northwest corner with picnic tables and some marshy beach. A narrow paved road encircles the island, a 10 km route with very little traffic and plenty of scenery. On our summer bike ride, we saw everything from goats to eagles to skydivers, with views of Golden Ears Bridge, the North Shore Mountains and Mt. Baker in the distance. An abandoned home with brambles taking over the doorway was also strangely cool. Barnston Island has a peaceful feeling, inhabited yet abandoned at the same time. One car passed us on the entire ride, and the only other people we saw were fellow cyclists and walkers. There are also no stores on the island, so be sure to bring your own water and provisions. You can say you've been somewhere without really leaving.

    The coolest (and still free!) ferry! It's a fun little ride over to the island and only 10 km…read morearound... Very idyllic and restful... Nice for a little bike ride, a walk in the country or just a peaceful drive... I wish there was a legal place to enjoy a picnic beside the river, though.., And it is a smart thing to bring some mosquito repellant because they like to attack fresh blood... Lol

    O M G…read more Purses, food, cocktails, entertainment, a beauty bar, and an amazing fashion show...and it's all for an incredible cause. What is NOT to love about Handbags for Housing!? I was honored to attend this year as a VIP and I gotta say, the bonus perks were nice. We received a HUGE goodie bag with tons of cool schwag - including (bonus!) a tiny bottle of bubbly. Plus we had front row seating for the phenomenal fashion show, which featured local shops and boutiques putting together fun outfits to match a gorgeous handbag. After each walk-down-the-runway that particular handbag was auctioned off to the crowd. One of the bags (a Kate Spade beauty if I recall correctly) went for nearly $700! While the live auction was a little rich for my blood, I did enjoy the endless rows of gorgeous purses attendees had donated, which were marked anywhere from $5-50 depending on their label (and believe me, there were some VERY well-known labels to be found). There was also a silent auction featuring some of the more high-end bags, so basically there was literally something for everyone, in every budget category. (And if you really like a bag bargain, stay until the very end, wink wink.)

    What a blast! Handbags for Housing was such a fun event; high energy, lots of beautiful, upcycled,…read moreunique, and great priced purses, great food and wine/cocktails, entertainment of the "Booty and the Beat" ladies, fashion show, auction, and so much more! What a great idea and event to help raise awareness and proceeds for Lydia Place and helping our community! A lady can never have too many purses - and it's for a great cause....Genius event! :)
