time for new calendars

Posted on by

As we draw towards the end of another amazing year, it is time for me to get my 2015 poster calendars ready for you!  They make great holiday gifts — just roll up, tie with ribbon, and pass along with your love and best wishes for the coming year.  

My calendars are big and bold (12 x 18 inches) and printed locally on 100% recycled paper (good for you AND the earth) and are available in my etsy shop, at Artzi Stuff in downtown Nanaimo, or at the Pier Gallery Christmas Sale here on Gabriola on December 13 and 14th.  Or contact me directly to place an order (I offer bulk discounts so let me know if you want a bunch).

Which one do you like the best?  Perhaps you cannot decide….if so, just get a couple and make sure both your home and office have a fun calendar on the wall.

and introducing a slightly different style for the new year (with the help of some cheeky oystercatchers)….

This time of year we love to pick the daisies that grow wild in patches of our yard and along the roadsides, here there and everywhere.  Daisies were my mom’s favourite flower and they are one of my most favourite too. Based on my daughters’ joyful picking, bouquet making and daisy chains I would have to say that they love these cheerful blooms too!

And of course, daisies make great cake toppers when we make a birthday cake in honour of my mom (her birthday and the anniversary of her death fall in the midst of wild daisy season, that seems perfectly fitting somehow). This week, as I remember her, I am drawn to the spots where these blooms grow by the sea, my mom’s fave place in the world….and mine!

 Mom/Granny Kathy, we will always pick daisies and think of you doing the same!

vintage us

This week’s photo prompt at the 52 Photos Project is {VINTAGE}…..how fitting that my man and I celebrated our 20 year FIRST KISS anniversary this week.  Seems this shot from the early days must almost certainly be classified as VINTAGE, at least for us.  So here you are, a peek at vintage us….

then…

and now….

Some people (including, sometimes, my hubby) don’t understand the need to keep celebrating this day after you get married and have a wedding anniversary.  But he humours me (remember how he whisked me off to Mexico last year?)…..and I say, “any excuse to eat cake!”

What upcoming excuses do you have to make cake & celebrate?
