Happy Canada Day =)
Thanks for visiting my Tea on Thursday post. I hope you had a nice Canada Day, love your bee and honey header!
I grew up in Canada and visit there every summer to see family and my home province. A few years ago, my husband and I were in Prince Edward Island on June 30th and got to see all the preparations for Canada Day. Given that this is where Confederation started, one day I'd like to actually be there on Canada Day. Although it might be too crowded on July 1st, I'd also like to someday see Ottawa. The flag created from people is incredible!
