Quality - not quantity

I was at Walmart the other day and I went past the grocery department, where I spend most of my time...and I was amazed by what I found. 

Now, don't get worried, this is not going to be a rant against the evil Walmart empire....however it is a request to consider how we consume and what we are ready to pay for "throw away" stuff for our house. 

My mom used to tease me about all of my Ikea furniture when I was young and a vagabond.  "that stuff will only make 1.5 moves.  By the time you try to move it the second time, it is ready to throw out!"

A customer asked me recently "why are you gals running all over the coutryside, looking for items to work on and restore?"

The easy answer is that we all LOVE IT!

 All three of us could be hooked up to a heart monitor and you could see our pulse increase at the doors of an antique or thrift store.

The other answer.....it just makes sense!

We would rather re-love and re-home quality, unique, solid pieces of furniture that will be in your family for many many years! 

It makes economic sense - for all you tight wads. 
It makes environmental sense - for all your organic tree huggers. 
It makes creative sense - for all you starving artists. 
And it is a way to add some panache and style to your home in a one of a kind way.

What Was That?

What a great weekend!!  Albertans really have to flexible when it comes to the weather.  It was just a couple of weeks ago and we still had snow on the ground.  As I was working outside last night, something went flying by that sounded like a humming bird.  Then another one, and another one.  The flying ants have arrived.  They always seem to pick their target, and fly right into you.  They are about the size of a humming bird to.  A wise neighbor of ours, informed us that when the flying ants
are out it is time to plant your potatoes.  I don't know about you, but the last pile of snow didn't disappear on my garden until last week.  Go figure.  Dixie

Listen!!! I hear the frogs!!!

I am so excited to announce that spring is officially here.  Yahoo!!  The geese and cranes are flying north, the pussy willows are out, and the frogs are talking once more.  It was a friend of ours, that told us that when you hear a frog in the spring, it is a sign that the frost has come out of the ground.  I even seen a mosquito last night, need I mention it was the size of a small bird?  Ouch!!  My wish for you friends, is that you take a moment to enjoy the beauty that comes with another spring.  Dixie
