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

Epic re-love


A wonderful customer brought this table to me with some creative ideas including painting the entire table with chalk paint.  Her husband was not entirely convinced and really wanted to preserve the gorgeous wood grain.  With some research, brainstorming and inspiration - I found the best of both!  The laminated wood legs are painted in Van Gough chalk paints "mascara" black and "halo" white.  Lightly distressed and sealed with dark wax.  The table top is going to fit so well in their country/western home.  The vintage cowgirl is a subtle feature on the gorgeous wood grain.

A-mazing!
