My bike!

I am almost ready to reveal Vera to the world.   Vera is my new Vela folding bike, and she's a dream.

I've got my bike pump, locks (yep, I've decided to stamp it, double lock it...) lights, I'm getting there.   I still need a helmet (which I've been very picky about, hence no helmet yet) and I've been waiting for my basket to arrive.

Because I have a folding bike, and that includes the handle bars, I can't have a basket on the front.  Which is spectacular, because otherwise I would not have found this beautiful gem

Okay, take a minute to compose yourself and get over the adorableness.  This is a handmade special, made by Laurie Macpherson of Abasketfull on ETSY.  The price is so incredibly reasonable. If you are in need of a new basket you will visit and revisit this listing and eventually have to have one of your own. 

I was also really pleased to support a handmade sale from a fellow Canadian.

Three cheers for Laurie and her contribution to my bike's supreme cuteness this summer!  Pics to come when I have her dressed and ready for the world.

yours truly,

Moonlight for Violet, xo
