Boathouse Hideaway

Posted by om 0 comments









Now this is a truly picturesque location and this perfectly pristine, white boathouse is tucked neatly into it's natural surroundings. Image waking up in the mornings to the sounds of the birds and the waves gently lapping up on the deck! I love the simplicity of the all white interior with it's eclectic mix of furnishings and accessories. The Moroccan lamps and tea glasses, the raffia cushions, the Balinese elephant and the colourful printed scatter cushions give this space a touch of the exotic. Neat and compact, this little weekender proves that 'big' is not always best!

Cupcakes made to order!

It's great when people use literally incorrectly. They just use it to emphasize...for example, I'll use it now: Here in Jersey it's literally raining cats and dogs. That's actually scary...I hope they come down softly. But anyway, it's raining a whole heck of a lot...and it's not doing anything to break the humidity or cool it off at all. We had to go to the store before and Aaron realized that the umbrella was in the car...so he ran and came back with it while I waited on the porch. He may as well have jumped in a pool. He ran because Mythbusters said so. On their first test they said it didn't matter either way if you walked or ran...but then they changed their assessment...saying that running meant less time spent in the rain...therefore you'd be less wet. Once again...I'm talking gibberish. But it's a rain day.

And that brings me to my next subject...the above and below pictured sign. Accomplished over a couple of rain days...this is a design I've had sketched forever. I've been dying to do a pink bakery box full of cupcakes. Shouldn't EVERY bakery send you out the door with your sweet little treats in pink boxes? I just think it would totally make everything taste even better. :) I'm gonna take more pics tomorrow, because the rain, overcast, gray day, made for some terrible lighting...so the pics are a bit blurry. But I promise, the colors are fab...the cupcakes look perfect...and just in case you can't tell, this is a nice sized sign...11 x 19 I think. Ready to hang in your retro kitchen or bakery! And it's in the shop now!



The 4th of July was great! The Asbury fireworks were fantastic...the weather perfect...the crowds friendly(if a bit too dense for my taste). It's was me, Aaron, my sis Missy, and bro Walt. We sat smack dab in front of the launch site. We walked to the Asbury boardwalk right from Missy's place, like 3 blocks tops. I loved all the crazy flashing light up stuff that kids had. There was a little booth selling these crazy light up swords with like blinking disco balls on the end. I got a few pics of us during and after the fireworks. Great time.


aww...doesn't Walty look so handsome here? :)

Alright, Just wanted to pop in and say hi! And show you what we've been up to. Hope everyone's 4th was super fun!

I'll be back real soon. xoxo, Jenny

Turn on the Waterworkz for Canine Wellness

Posted by om 0 comments
Everyone is invited to a pet nutrition and supplement discussion with Dr. Sue Pollen this coming Saturday. The event is being held at WaterWorkz Paw Spa in Burnaby from 12 to 1 PM. The nice folks at Waterworkz are keen to let people know that there will be a discussion of incredibly useful pet information every Saturday in July and August. “These discussions are as free as the sunshine,” Waterworkz tells us, “and just as likely to make you grow.”

The first discussion will be around nutrition, “because that’s the single most important thing we do for our pets,” says Waterworkz. “Bring your pet’s food and we’ll look at the ingredients. Bring your pet’s supplements and we’ll discuss what makes one better than another. We will also discuss what to take on a trip to make it safe for your pet.”

Over the coming weeks, Waterworkz will tackle such issues as cruising and traveling with your pet; swimming dogs, including the benefits of warm salt water; the Tellington Touch with Catherine Stewart; how to tell if your pet is really sick and other timely topics.

For more details, visit WaterWorkzPawSpa.com or just join them on the day at 3831 Still Creek Ave, Burnaby BC.
