Merry Christmas!
A large enamel roaster filled with homemade cabbage rolls, a gift from my sister Marilyn, is in the oven to bake for the next four hours. It’s the beginning step in preparation toward a bountiful Christmas dinner later in the day. I’m an early riser. The house is quiet but the silence will soon be filled with squeals of laughter and delight when my grandchildren…
My daughter, Christine, has introduced me to some of the coolest things! Over the last several years she has introduced me to such things as: the internet, internet chat (that was a long, long time ago and neither of us have visited internet chat rooms for many years but it was fun at the time),…
In Search of…
I’m looking for original vintage Ellen Clapsaddle postcards of children with food, cooking and/or baking to add to my collection. I found this one at CardCow.com and I love it! I would have purchased it but the original has been sold and only digital copies are available.
Oh Christmas Tree
Our weather is gorgeous today! We reached a high of 9C (48F), warm enough to melt a lot of our snow. I love it but hubby is a snowboarder so he’s a little disappointed. They’ll make snow on the ski hill but if it’s warm all week, as the forecast predicts, skiing and snowboarding conditions…
New Lockers at Work
Wow – it’s hard to imagine that it’s already been over two months since we moved to the new office building! We’ve worked through some exceptionally cold days and some incredibly hot days at the office as “they” adjusted the temperature in the new building. It appears that the kinks have been worked out because the indoor temperatures have…
Happy Thanksgiving!

The parcel card was delivered to our mailbox on Friday but we’ve had a busy weekend and didn’t get a chance to pick up the package until today. This book is huge – it measures 12.5″ x 17.5″!…
Lest We Forget
“Veterans Affairs Canada, a federal entity, states that the date is of “remembrance for the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace”; specifically, the First and Second World Wars, the Korean War, and all conflicts since then in which members of the Canadian…
Be My Bridesmaid Cards by Natalie
Natalie, of Etsy shop SweetPeaSunday, has created a beautiful set of “Be My Bridesmaid” cards with a Harrison Fisher bridal image she purchased from my shop. Natalie is having great success with these cards, selling three sets the very first day she added them to her shop and has sold several more sets since! In Natalie’s words,…
Happy Birthday To Me!
My birthday is not officially until November 21st but I purchased my gift today! It’s a Harrison Fisher book to add to my collection. I am thrilled to bits but when I purchased the book, my adrenaline wasn’t pumping and my heart wasn’t racing. This was an ebay “Buy it Now” offer that I’ve had my eye on for weeks. Not an…
Etsy Treasury – An Artist Palette
Good morning! Freebies from the package I received in the mail yesterday are next up but I awoke to find that another of my restored vintage Harrison Fisher images has been featured in an Etsy treasury through the night. Yay! Thank you to curator MrsHappy22 (love her Etsy name!) for including me in her treasury, “An Artist…
