It's About Time!








You know the story of the shoe makers children and how they never had shoes because the shoe maker was always so busy making shoes for everyone else.............finally was able to settle on letters with my daughter and get her's done, I can do anything for her and she picks white. Her room is just about there, just need to pick up the curtains from the seamstress (this mamma can't sew worth beans) and she will be all set. We had just painted her room 2 years ago but she really wanted turquiose walls, so we compromised and did the wall behind her bed and a small nook when you first walk in, that colour. She picked her Roxy bedding and we got an extra set in hot pink and brown. Hopefully this will be okay for the next few years. The dresser I had painted is in there as well and I also had the small side table sprayed ...... added another crystal knob and voila!
That is my old walnut spool bed my Great Aunt gave me, it well over 100 years old and my parents lugged it all the way home from New Hampshire for me when I was small, five coats of baby blue paint and all. My Mom had it refinished, I used it and know Miss A has it. Love the history of it all!

Not much


What a bad blogger I am these days, with summer winding down for us and back to school just around the corner I found it hard to post a little more often this summer. The next problem is my camera is in for repair/cleaning........hopefully I will have my friend back next week and can take some more order shots and get posting again.



I did take Miss A this week to see Nanny McPhee and we both really liked it!

These guys are too.........

No Kempenfest This Year






I decided this year to take a break from doing Kempenfest,for the past 5 years I have done the show on the Civic weekend and met some great customers. It was a hard decision but after all the mix ups last year with the construction along the lakeshore and people not able to locate me, and slow economy sales, I needed a break!

But do not fear, if you wish to place an order for letters I will still be offering show specials for the month of August. Once again you can purchase the 10" solid painted letters for $10 each and I will also have a special on my framed letters and names and I probably will do some surprise adjustments as well! Just send me a quick email and I can adjust all the prices for you. I also offer FREE delivery within Barrie, Ont.

Best Place Ever.......Just Sayin'





I think one of my favourite places to go is to the cottage. My hubby has the best set of godparents one could ever ask for and they are always great company and we love to go visit them at the cottage. This place isn't really a cottage......but that's what they call it.

The dogs love it, the kids think it's the best and we agree it's a pretty special place to visit. If you ever have the chance to go to Muskoka, Ontario make sure you do.......it's a little piece of heaven on earth.
