New Shop Offerings

Oh, it can't be all painted wooden goodies all the time. I just picked up some uber-cute beaded rings - $6 each, and funky flip flops $15 a pair, along with some mid-summer fresh sundresses at $25 each and just burst hollyhocks - free for the taking... but while I was primping and fussing with the girlie wear, a favourite customer purchased the Dr. Seus inspired purple and yellow checkerboard table. Didn't need it. Had to have it. And that's what's so special about summertime musings. Impulse shopping strikes different chords in all of us!

Buttermilk Cafe Whisperings, then Beachy Beachy Beachy

Good fun everywhere I looked....our favourite place to be...Victoria Beach in Cobourg. And no visit is complete without pancakes at the Buttermilk Cafe, where I eavesdropped on the most.......

I'd Rather Be Swinging!

Busy day at This White Shed...or so I'm told. Rob tended the shop while I went to Roblin Lake with my li'l friend, Sydney. Looks like I'll have to get more sundresses for the shop...THAT I can do!

And So To....The Beach

The shop is open and the tourists are whizzing by, some with their faces pressed to their car windows. Perhaps we'll catch them on their way back....in the meantime, our schoolhouse is holding an open house and we're off to the beach for an hour and half...let's just call it lunch break!

You Have To Wonder About A Cat...

who doesn't know how to get out of the rain! Not that he doesn't look absolutely fetching sitting amidst all those pewter colours...but camouflage alone can't spare you from the wet! Hoping to open shop doors tomorrow morning, weather permitting.

Hop, Jump and SKIPPY!!!

Oh, he's not my Skippy. He belongs to my aunt and uncle, but what a find!!!! Rescue pups are the best, especially when they look like they have a wind up key in their rear.

Always Wear Your Best Hat. Amen!!

Driving the back roads yesterday I found a most amazing little white church on Chase Road! The roof is phenomenal...regular asphalt roof tiles in many shades of grey, blue and purple. Apparently, a local roofer did the job. The owner of the church is actress, Sonya Smitt and she wanted it to look like roofs she'd seen in Beaune, France (shown here - yes it's the smaller, more ornate version). It looks to me like her little white church with the heather coloured hat has definitely hit the mark.
Clearly, Ms. Smitt's bold efforts have enhanced the landscape here in Prince Edward County.
