Re-living History


小蟲與小貓 went to Victoria on Thanksgiving Day to see the Titanic Exhibition in the Royal BC Museum, more pics and sharing to come later.

An interesting comment 小蟲 made, "Probably 小貓 was someone from the last century, and for some reason, landed in 20th century by mistake." It is very true indeed, that 小貓 is totally fascinated by the glamorous days of the Edwardian/Victorian era. Everything was so elegant and full of history, the fashion, the architecture, every single detail was so fascinating!!

This is the reason why 小貓 loves London, and the old buildings of New York & Boston, Victoria, Gas Town, and the Titanic, they all reflect the elegance, romance and dignity of that era.

On our way home from the Victoria trip, we saw this BIG sign, "Hudson Living". They are turning the old Hudson Bay department store in uptown Victoria into a condo!!!! What a dream come true for 小貓.

Mmmmm, but actually, if 小貓 can dream up any combination for her dream home, it would be...

A renovated heritage building, with unobstructed ocean view, and a big kitchen. Hahahaaa, wouldn't it be nice???!!!!

For now, the following description of the Hudson Living is already very 吸引...

"A unique collection of flats, 2-level lofts and innovative courtyard homes in Victoria's historic Hudson's Bay Building. Volumetric, modernist interiors for the next century of living in Uptown Victoria."
