The Summer has once again slid away from us like the ocean tide. Hope you didn’t miss out on the best moments because you were too busy working. I feel like I almost did. I’d better find myself a spot near the beach for at least one more warm day. Maybe dig out my old Jimmy Buffet records for a spin or two this week! My flip flop tan line still has a few good days left so I will try to soak up some sun! Around Vancouver, September is usually the best month of the year.


I’ve got my own big plans for the fall season, including - finally - getting my store back online. Apologies for the delay. I’ve been renovating a house so things got a little sidetracked. I’ll post some pictures of the renos when we’re done. I found out today that the house dates back to about 1932 when this part of White Rock, BC was a holiday community for rich Vancouverites and down the hill from my house was one of the first saw mills in the area. We don’t know who the original owner was, but it was likely a summer vacation home. When we pulled up the laminate flooring a recent owner had installed, we found some lovely old 2” fir flooring in the dining room. I don’t know if we can save it, but it was fun to find. I’m trying to incorporate as many recycled and repurposed items as possible in the new house plans, including several lovely vintage doors, some classic old light fixtures, stained glass, and also some reclaimed barn wood from my own old barn! Very cool. I will be working with Scott Landon to create some of the projects... so check out his website for inspiration.
