Claire in Grade 1

Claire's first two days of school got off to a

rockystart as she was sick.

Maybe a bit of stress, but mostly a cold.

She is now back enjoying her class and new found friends.

 

Hard to believe how tall she has grown in a year!

Busy happy Faire...

It was such a fun and busy time at the

Kootenay Chicks Vintage Faire.

Collecting all year paid off.

Not only with all the fun Cindy and I had collecting Pyrex,

as well as all the other "vintage" items we collect,

but all the "stylin" we did to make

our booth look great.

Here are just a few photos of our terrific weekend.

We could have never done it all by ourselves

Cindy and I are the collecting team,

she also enlisted Tim, Darlene, Larry

and I enlisted Jim to help out.

Our thanks to them all.

We have already begun to collect for next year!

Thanks for everything Cindy!

We played and crafted....

We sure had a lot of fun.

We crafted, we walked to the garden centre,

she took a lot of photos with her camera.

We bought a wig, we went to Value Village, we thrifted,

oh the fun we had.

At the garden centre.

The banner that we made.

Her former Day Care school.

Fun with Claire..

This morning I hitched a ride to

Port Coquitlam

with my good friend Shirley.

She had driven in from Nelson and spent Monday night with us.

Claire and I went for a walk to the park then continued on

another a mile or two

to Starbucks.

Along the way we gathered things we found for our

Nature Table.

We get to spend the whole day together tomorrow.

I am thinking a trip to Value Village for sure.

Picnic Baskets

I had fun getting out a few of my picnic baskets

to style, dust off and re-arrange.

My love for taking and styling photos....

A family visit..

I hadn't seen my brother Werner and his wife Dana for

3 years in person

as they live in full time in

Cabo San Lucas.

They were here for a quick overnight visit on there way to Vancouver.

It was a short but sweet visit!

Good thing we are able to connect regularly

with FaceTime.

Happy days...

In my craftroom,

playing, creating and styling.

Such a happy place.

A good start to August...

The signs says...Cut your Own.

15 stems for $5.00.

Zinnias and Dahlias.

All it takes is a good pair of pruners and a bucket of water

in your car.

Style them when you get home.
