Old Faithful Shop. Vancouver, Canada.
Last week I decided it was time to visit the beautiful city of Vancouver in Canada. The city was just as I remembered it, filled with the nicest people, fantastic food and the greatest shops. I biked my way through the city to get an idea of the place before I walked it and as soon as I biked by Gastown I knew I had to go back to take a better look at some of the shops in the area. This is one my most favorite shop in Vancouver, the Old Faithful Shop had a great selection of products, an inspirational industrial decor and best of all the most welcoming staff. I could have stayed in the shop for another hour looking at all their product. I wished we had something like this right in Orange County, California.

Hanging Air Plant Pod by Michael McDowell
While the sun is coming out and the grass is getting greener I still have the hardest time keeping plants alive, it's just not part of my skills. In fact, I have a affinity for killing bamboo which I was told was impossible to do. It's not that I don't love their color, smell and the feel of nature, I just can't figure it out. For those of us without a green thumb I got the thing for us.
Check out these simple hanging pods.These are a low maintenance planter made specially for air plants, the planter was designed by Michael McDowell and handmade in Colorado. Air plants (tilandsia) don't require any dirt and they need very little water, perfect for people always forgetting to water the plants like me!
