what a weekend!! so much to be thankful for!!
my sisters, their husbands, my niece, and the pooch all came north to celebrate!
my sisters enjoy cooking and we feasted on pumpkin pie - from home grown pumpkins, fresh figs with goat cheese wrapped in bacon from granville island, artisan breads - olive, cranberry, and rustic rolls, puccini chocolates, sweet potato pie.....that doesn't even include thanksgiving dinner!!
we are so blessed to be able to choose what we want to eat when so many in the world subsist on so little - i am thankful!
we had some wild wii showdowns!!
since my cancer surgery last year, i am learning to enjoy the time and people and not stress so much about the 'stuff' that doesn't really matter!!
this is my family, i am blessed and i am thankful!!
working on a new design for my silver pendants.
i love the retro spacey look. they can be worn with anything.
i call them silver orbs.
yesterday was remembrance day in canada/veterns day in the u.s.!! my grandpa dusty served in northern africa and italy. it didn't seem that he would talk about it much years ago, but as he grew older he began to share bits and pieces. we can never imagine the horrors he saw and lived through.
he married his sweetheart on february 15, 1942 and was headed to boot camp a few weeks later. their only communication by letter, was sparse. my grandma worked hard and waited.
i remember them both - and honour them for their comittment to their country, to each other, and their family.
last weekend was my whirlwind trip to vancouver island to a small gallery that carries my jewellery. the trunk show ran friday afternoon and saturday morning. we also hosted a jewellery class for 10 on friday night.
davida owns the business, along with her parents david and lorraine. they also run a bed and breakfast, and were such gracious hosts to us!! thank you!! it was a wonderful, action packed, exhausting weekend.

tomorrow i head to vancouver island - by ferry - in the wee hours of the morning to a wonderful shop that has carried my jewellery for two years. the owner saw my vintage button bracelets in a store, called me and it was the beginnings a fab relationship. she has since added a coffee shop and bookstore. she always thinking about how to improve her business, she also has great relationships with her customers - i love to be with her and to learn from her!!
