Shoppe Windows

In preparation for changing up the store window, I like to look around the internet and get inspired.  Even though, my idea involves owls and a feeling of darkness.

And here is where I keep landing:

Oh, and read all about *Steve* and I here online! (page 13:  Minus the part where I grew up in a small town in Manitoba and that *Steve* is a consultant for IG.  I grew up in small town ONTARIO and *Steve* works for a different company now.  It just happens to start with an "I").

Alive & Kicking

What a fun filled summer

Gramma came to visit and the *mila* painted her own face

We listened to Ruth at our store. 

ruth cassie.  Ruth Cassie.  RUTH CASSIE.  Ruth Cassie.  ruth cassie.

We made over the store a wee bit and got some pillows in the inventory thanks to Gramma!

Then Debbie Travis came to town and it rained.  Those are my boots with the *mila's* umbrella.

The town came out to watch.  Most of us were female.

And Debbie revealed that her new CBC show "All For One" was filming an important episode in Huntsville.  A local hero who had volunteered much of her time was having her house renovated and it was up to the community of Huntsville to come out and help.  Be sure to watch.  You might someone you know.

No summer would be complete without a swim at the beach.

Hutcheson Beach that is.

And in a flash, the summer was over.  The rain came on strong and long.  School began and Grade 1 is a huge milestone in our house.
