Lunenburg
Down Come the Walls
Tony has been very busy with his sledge hammer.B oy, take down a couple of walls and it makes all the difference in the world. Now we get to look at our beautiful staircase from the living room and the living room just got a whole lot bigger. Don’t I look ready to work hard…

When we first came to Lunenburg a bit over a year ago we moved to the bottom floor of a house site unseen. Turned out to be the most perfect little neighbourhood. Dusty would sit on the stoop and chat with all the neighbours, greet every passerby and enjoyed the thrill of crossing the street…
Read MoreA Light at the end of the Tunnel
I am actually seeing an end to the orders. Well, hopefully not the end end, but an end to the complete madness. I am really looking forward to cleaning my studio. I will have to photograph it before I do so that I can shatter any ideas of being a together person. Every time I…
Read MoreBuried Under Hats
I’ve been thinking about writing in my blog. Really. In the same way I have been thinking of doing the dishes, laundry, cleaning my studio, going for a walk, getting a massage. I try to remind myself that this is a really good thing, but I am buried under a pile of hats. The orders…

Fall has arrived in Nova Scotia. My friend insists that if you don’t leave the house till noon and you are in by 5 then you can pretend it’s summer, but really it’s fall. The good news is that fall is the most incredible season here. The sky is so blue, the light is intense…

Last weekend was the biggest Lunenburg weekend there is all year. I’d have to say it would be a big weekend anywhere. It was the Folk Harbour Festival. An annual event that lasts 4 days. The town is packed with people. Tony and I love folk music, but we are still afraid of shelling out…
Read MoreThe Big Ex
I think I have been waiting for something exciting to happen in our lives before writing in my blog. Today it happened. The Big Ex was in town. The exhibition that is. In the states it’s known as the county fare. You know, the rides, livestock, the rides, poultry, the rides, local gymnastics show, the…

Last Tuesday we arrived home from a one week trip to Marblehead, MA, where we visited friends and family. I adore Nova Scotia and I wouldn’t live anywhere else, but, man, you can’t there from here. Unless money is no object and you can just hop on a plane, there is really no easy way…

Last Friday marked a momentous occasion in my life. For the first time in five years I spent a weekend alone without husband or child. I LOVED IT!!! I adore my child, he is my sun and moon, but I had three precious mornings where I was not woken by way of being pounced on.…
