My Sumo Wrestler
You just can’t make this stuff up. Yesterday our son Dusty decided out of the blue that he would really like to be a sumo wrestler. He has the word a little confused and calls it souvenir wrestling. He assures us not for real when he grows up because they have some bad rules like…
The Perfect Wife
The perfect wife. That’s me. It didn’t used to be this way. In fact up until a couple of weeks ago I might have been voted world’s worst wife, but not anymore. Nuh uh. It’s all changed now. You see, this running my own business thing while being mom to an energetic six year old…
Scuttlebutt’s
I have found the restaurant of my dreams and it’s just down the street. It comes fully equipped with delicious and healthy food, the nicest owners and waitress who treat their customers unbelievably well and best of all a beautiful five year old girl (daughter of the owners) who Dusty adores. Dusty and Lorelei head…
A Dog Named Lego
So what’s a Mama to do when she is so busy filling wholesale orders, doing farmers’ markets, taking care of a six year old boy and ignoring her husband and housework? Why, get a puppy, of course. I won’t begrudge anyone who thinks I’m an utter lunatic, but I have to say I have never…
Wishing for a Hurricane
It is brutally hot here right now. I am a barely functioning human being. The good news is that a hurricane is on the way this Saturday. Today was farmers market day and thankfully we brought the show indoors. I came home to this wonderful e-mail from a customer from Massachusetts who featured one of…
Oh, Right… The Beach.
I am ashamed to admit that yesterday was our first time at the beach this summer. I have lots of excuses, but I’ll spare you. After hearing report after report from friends who said you could actually go in the water, we packed up the car and went to hang out with friends at one…
Bathing Caps and Bathing Beauties
The mornings are now chilly here in Nova Scotia. It still warms up pretty quickly, but summer’s days are numbered. My table at the farmers’ market is now filled mostly with fleece hats. Many of my new styles for 2010 were inspired by my friend Katja’s bathing cap cosmetic bags. Check out her fabulous collection…
My Guy
This is my guy and this is what he does. Every waking, breathing moment. Lego, lego, lego. Other than finding it between my toes and up my nose, it is the best toy in the world.
See How My Garden Grows
I am successfully neglecting every plant that I have managed to plant this season. These ones are a little harder to kill. They are all part of headbands and hats headed for Jane’s Fashions at 44 Ontario st. in Stratford, Ontario
The Big Ex Revisited
It’s that time of year again. The Big Ex is in town. There was no earthly way to avoid it. Although we went on Tuesday it has taken me until today (Saturday) to be able to write about it. That’s because my son had that kind of impressive kicking and screaming meltdown in the middle…
