like a doily

Rosalyn's sister is going to Haiti to help with the aftermath of the terrible earthquake. She had this great idea to run a mini-fundraiser by selling handmade brooches to raise some funds for her cause.

This one is the brooch I chose.

I believe the mini-fundraiser is already finished, and Roz sent the funds over yesterday. But I still wanted to show you this delicate piece. It is so pretty, I really love it.

Thank you Roz! And all the best to your sister. What she is doing is so generous.

The first photo was taken by either Rosalyn or Karyn at the store (I don't remember!)! I asked them to help me take it! Thanks ladies! I am not used to being in front of the camera!

It wasn’t me

Jin: Mojo, did you eat Mea’s food again?

Mojo: not me! I swear!

This boy right here, will let us do anything to him.

We can poke his forehead for a minute, and he wouldn’t mind.

We can do things to take a funny photo of him, like put a bag on his head, or tape. He still has his pink ribbon on his collar.

I am not sure why he looks so terrified in the last photo! We put him on the floor right after.

Mea, our girl cat, would swat our face if we handled her the way we handle Mojo. But it is ok, for she is a princess.

Welcome spring!

The weather has been wonderful in the city since March arrived! Hopefully spring is here to stay! We got 2 prints, illustrated by the incredibly sweet and talented Melinda Josie, to welcome spring into our home!

The first one is of a handsome Mr. Fox, playing in a clover field. Clover is my favourite, their petals are heart shaped! I have never found a four leaf clover yet, have you?

The other is Dre, at a springtime tea party! Melinda told Jin and I that you know it is Dre, because of his pointy head (yes, Dre is a boy! How cute!).

I love our new pieces of art, and I cannot wait to find a perfect frame for them and hang them on our very blank walls. Rosalyn got the same prints, and I picked hers up for her. I cannot wait to deliver these beauties to her tonight, I know she will squeal!

I am excited to see what Melinda's next print will be! Check her blog, and her store for her current and upcoming prints!

p.s. I like the way she wrote our names! Such attention to detail!

our weekend find

A dutch oven in the shape of a pepper.
A green pepper!

We found this Le Creuset pot this weekend for such a great deal, we couldn't pass it up. It is so cute, I just had to show you!

Also, it makes me giggle at the stove when I use it. I made pasta sauce in it, and served it in the pepper too. I was giggling throughout our dinner. Just ask Jin.

The inside is also shaped like the pepper, and I love how they shaped the handle at the top!

The olympics are over, and Canada won gold for hockey!!! People were so happy, they were hugging in intersections!

How cute is that?

Yaaay Canada!
