While I was in Creston last week, I stopped by my friend Brandy’s store, Creative Fix. (And wow — what a store. If Min hadn’t been standing outside raising his eyebrows at me, I would have bought that place out faster than you can say “please swipe my Visa.”)

My mom and sister were there with me, and just after my sister and I stopped circling the same handbag and admiring the same necklace, my mom picked up a piece of Brandy’s art and said, “this looks like something you’d like.”

I said: “I do like it. But that’s a print. I bought the original.”

Yes. Out of an entire bin of prints, my mom picked the one that I had already bought.

It’s the last item on this page, in case you’re curious. And if you want to visit Creative Fix, it’s a mere 10 hours east of Vancouver, and totally worth the drive.
