Note to self...

First day of spring!

Woot Woot…  Happy spring!

Officially, the Vernal Equinox
happens at 6:45 PM today.

We made it through one hell-of-a
record breaking snowy winter, so I hope
 you have a bottle of prosecco chilling!
Be there. Aloha!

The year of the sheep

Happy Chinese New Year! Today starts the year of the sheep, and so in honor of that I am sharing this amazing and adorable sheep created by my talented friend Juliana Boyd. She creates pieces like this using textiles and (appropriately) spun wool! See more of her spun wool magic her on her website, Growler and Reynard.

Sasha + Serena

A pair of beautiful swans are on their nightly sunset cruise on Miles River at the end of my street in Hamilton. I have named then Sasha + Serena. How lucky am I to be able to drive past this view every night?
