Grand Finale

December 19, 2010

Saturday was my last market of the season and it was truly grand. It felt like the finale of a fabulous fireworks display. I sold some of my all time favourite hats and it seemed like they were made only for these customers. I love to look at these photos and see the diversity of…

Organic dog Food…..Really?

December 17, 2010

I am a walking target market. My shopping cart is always filled with organic junk food, any product that looks like it might heal our lives and yes, organic dog food with no corn, soy, sugar, wheat or GMO’s added. I’m starting to wonder, though. Yesterday was a classic example of my puppy’s diet. At…

My favourite Sale

December 11, 2010

Not to say that all my hat sales are not my favourite, but every once in a while there is the perfect union between hat and head that feels like divine intervention. Today was the Hubbard’s Christmas Market and this lovely tall and stylish lady came up to me and said how she really wanted…

Stop on by

Hi Everyone, It’s Christmas market time. This Saturday I’ll be at the Halifax Seaport Market from 7am till 4 pm. The following Saturday I will be at the Hubbard’s Barn from 8-12 and the following Saturday back at the Seaport Market. If anyone is feeling sympathy for me about my early rising time I do…

Our vanishing Puppy

This is what happened when I turned my back for one minute. Fear not, Doggy was rescued from six year old tyranny.

Come One Come All

November 14, 2010

You have got to check this place out. Yesterday My boys and myself trekked into Halifax to sell my wares at the new Halifax Seaport Market. It was phenomenal in every way. I sold many hats which was very exciting and fun, but just to see this place was incredible. The building is huge and…

Halifax Bound

November 12, 2010

Tomorrow morning I am heading to the new Halifax Seaport Farmers’ Market to sell my wares. Very excited to see this fabulous new building and be surrounded by all kinds of local gourmet goodies. Not quite as excited to be on the road at 4:30a.m, but for this I have recruited my most wonderful husband/chauffeur.…

My Sumo Wrestler

November 8, 2010

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

October 25, 2010

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

October 17, 2010

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…
