A handful of minis

Posted by om 0 comments





When we painted these first two images you see here...our : "when all else fails..." pieces, both of us agreed that they'd be perfect as mini wood plaques. Their message and just everything about their appearance totally fits the smaller format...roughly 5 x 7...and being plaques makes them perfect for gift giving, or even as a gift to oneself. No framing necessary...no big upset to your decor...just a simple little plaque you can hang in that special spot. 

And after we made these wood plaques we got on a little kick. Forever, plaques like this were always our biggest sellers...but there was never enough time to keep them stocked up. When we do shows, or teach at art retreats we always have a table full of mini plaques, and people always thank us for making cute little take aways...easy to put in a shopping bag or suitcase. So we took time over the weekend and made a whole bunch featuring some of our favorite paintings. There's a lot in the shop now and there are more on the way soon. Also, in case anyone is interested...just ask, and we could pretty much make anything we offer into a plaque of just about any size. With the warm weather we're taking advantage of getting to use the saw out in our yard. We love the smell of fresh cut wood...and the feel of these adorable little plaques. Anyway, I just really wanted to pop in and show you some of these guys.
Thanks so much to all of you who motivated us to get this batch done!

BEAUTY FROM NATURE

I believe in drawing upon the power of nature and its ingredients to nurture the body. 

It's all about getting back to basics and letting nature be your best elixir. 

Replenish your skin with water, cleanse your lungs with fresh air and nourish your mind and body with wholesome food and home grown herbs. Limit your exposure to the sun and instead of searching for that miracle cream, draw on natural alternatives from nature to make you feel as beautiful as life intended.

What's in My Bag?

Posted by om 0 comments



You know, when I thought of doing this post I chuckled. Why you ask? Well because "My Bag" is far from a grown up lady bag. My everyday bag or as I called it when i was little "my pocka-book" (is that a New York/ New Jersey thing? )  ...I don't drive..so no car keys. I rarely leave the house without Aaron or my sis...so as far as a house key..I keep that in a jewelry box. I don't even carry a phone. Yes I've already mentioned that I am a weirdo. Not new news. My bag is more of a "busy bag" that you'd bring along for your kid during church or a waiting room visit..or picnik. 



This darling bag was handmade by a super sweet and talented friend of mine about 5 years ago. Yes..vintage sheets people...wayyy ahead of the game. Isn't it the cutest? It's perfect as a summer bag...or a park or beach "busy bag" 

In it today:












I always love seeing these posts...so if you've recently done a "What's in My Bag" leave me a link to come see!!

A Happy Canine Smile

Posted by om 0 comments
The patient. What a cutie!
Though no one argues the value of a good, clear smile, we don’t always translate that to our pets. Fortunately, there are people out there who do, among them Corinne Henderson, president and owner of DentaPet.

Before. Those choppers
clearly need attention!
“Our mission,” Henderson says, “is to provide professional, safe, well-priced, non-anesthesia teeth cleaning treatment in maintaining pet’s overall oral health and happiness.”

DentaPet’s certified hygienists are registered with the B.C. Government Oral Health Association and Veterinarian approved and they provide non-invasive oral hygiene service for dogs and cats.

Henderson offers some thoughts:

After. Nothing like a clear,
bright smile!
A pet can bring a lifetime of joy, love, and treasured moments. With those happy moments also comes special responsibility to care for the needs of your animal friend. At Dentapet, we provide compassionate oral care at the very highest level in all of the Vancouver area. We strive for a warm and friendly relationship with you and your pet. Dentapet takes great pride in treating your pet like a member of our family.
Since animals can't tell you when they have dental or oral disease, regular oral examinations are recommended. At DentaPet we offer options on how to treat these issues safely and effortless.

• Book free 15 min consult
Truly looking good!
• DentaPet can be mobile, but there would be an additional fee for travel
• Teeth cleaning: dependant on the condition of animal’s mouth
• Book two or more pets / $10.00 off ( not applicable with other promotions or coupons)
• Nails $10.00

Our goal is to help improve the comfort and quality of our patients’ lives.

Please visit our web site, dentapet.com and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call me at 604-971-1388.
