Girl Sunday Ties The Knot

Robert and Linda cut the cake


For the last two years Linda Giles has worked at Surroundings on Sundays. Prior to that, she and partner Robert Kidd owned and operated Still Life on lower Johnson Street (lojo). Still Life is an institution in Victoria's fashion scene. Kidd opened Still Life over 25 years ago, Giles came on board in the late 1990's. They have long been known as the most stylish couple in the city.

The wedding was done in pure Robert and Linda style, held at The Superior in James Bay, flowers by Ramsay and Ramsay, and of course, the bride wore a dress of her own creation. I have to say it was the most beautiful wedding I've ever attended. I only cried twice, oops make that three when Linda gave me her bouquet.

Lots of love to both of you.

Her name is Ida. She came into my life 6 months ago after a visit to the Duncan SPCA. She has become a fixture at Surroundings, and my constant companion. Ida loves children, as you can see above.

She has eaten the seat belts out of my truck, all my flip flops, the power cord to my mac book, and my stuffed toys ( yes, I own my own stuffed teddies). She will steal the cat food when no one is looking, and has eaten her fair share of home made bread. I still love her to pieces. She is sweet , kind, gentle, and a little brat.

Ida works with me on Thursday, Friday, and Saturdays, so come on in and feel free to give her a good ear scratch, she'll love you for it.
