oh how i've always loved the idea of sister cities.
two great places, joined over sea & sky by the idea of common cultural & commercial ties.
this rikrak studio series explores 2 official sister cities @ a time,
and some of the handmaking lovelies that they share!
i've done a bit of research to find official sister cities, and love seeing what handmakers are up to there!
be sure to visit the other handmade sister cities posts here.

handmade sister cities {part 5 }
.....................

vancouver, british columbia, canada & edinburgh, scotland
..............

in honour of the 2010 (non-handmade) olympic festivities happening these days in lovely lovely vancouver, i thought we'd take a glimpse at that fair city, her handcrafting superstars, and one of vancouver's many official sister cities... edinburgh.

to me, both are magical by-the-sea spaces, with enchanting vistas, fascinating landscapes, amazing unique histories, and filled with wonderful lore & creativity.

i've been lucky to have spent a few visits in gorgeous vancouver, and hope to explore edinburgh some day, too!

have you been to either/both of these handmade sister cities?
tell us your favourite parts/neighbourhoods/delights/sights!
we'd love to hear!

happy handmaking, vancouver + edinburgh!
