Another Local Talent!

Lindsay Hicks @ Love Me Boutique
You have to check these out! I recently bought this print at Love Me and I Love It.
This picture doesn't do it any justice; the colors are much more vibrant and happy.










You have to check out Lindsay's site and then hit Love Me to pick up your own signed copy. They don't carry prints of everything, but there are some other really cool street scenes to choose from.
Here's a little bitty of some other things she's done.

Gift Ideas - Hand Made- Nova Scotia

I Love the look of these journals! Don't they look soft? I need to have one. I'm not much for journal writing, but, I could always use it for sketching; I'll find a use for it if someone buys it for me.












These beauties are from the handiwork of Bev (aka "Bookyeti")
She is from right here in Nova Scotia! Check out her blog.
You can order on line here (etsy) or head down to my favorite spot for all things handmade;
Love Me Boutique on Birmingham.



Is it too early to start Christmas shopping?

Wish I was this Halifax Broad !

Have any of you read this blog yet?  
Sometimes I think I'm going to pee myself she's so funny.  I'd love, just for one day, to be able to express myself like her.  Thank you Cindy!!!  I read you every morning before I do anything else.         I'm on the bus!  I'm on the bus! 

WHO IS THIS BROAD?

CINDY SCHULTZ
She's a Mom, and the Owner/Creative Director of Broad Creative Communications, an award-winning advertising and design agency in Halifax, Nova Scotia.

Fur-Babies Photo Shoot

Ever have a photo session with your animals?  Be sure and pick a time when they are tired.  You can always just give em a little poke to get their eyes open.
How cute is that?  That's one of my fur-babies.  B.B. Buttercup is her name.  She runs the show. 


 This beautiful creature is Eli, A.K.A- Handsome.  
He's very calm, cool and collected.     I think he 
resents his sister for being such a baby. "gives cats a bad rap"






His "bedroom eyes"













































































"Seriously? You're in my way."




















Favorite spot, up in the loft away from all the noise.
"please, no more, I'm pooped"


Photos shot by Maggie Thomas.  Maggie LOVES animals and is a very patient and bubbly gal.  I guess you have to be if you want to deal with animals for a living.  She is just starting out and has great prices.  I you are interested and live in the Halifax area please don't hesitate to e-mail her. slade_rose@hotmail.com
Comments are always welcome!!!!!!!

Share With You Sunday




You have got to check out this shop on Etsy or here.I found my soap downtown Halifax at the Love Me boutique . They don't stock everything this little shop has to offer, but, I'm sure if you ask nicely....
I am in LOVE, L O V E, Love !!!!! I am allergic to just about everything I put on my face. Then I found this little wonder, Carrot Complexion Soap. Can you say Heaven?!
Sherrie Graham runs this home based business from Yarmouth Nova Scotia. I always like to support Local business but I'd buy these goodies from China if I had to. They are soooooo nice; they smell edible ( none of that yucky soapy smell you usually get from handmade soap) they lather just enough and rinse off perfectly. I've tried the carrot and the pink grapefruit loofah, now I'm hooked and have to try them all.


Pink Grapefruit Loofah Soap
Description
This great little round bar of high-lather soap has a section of all-natural loofah embedded in it. It makes a great scrubby surface for elbows, feet, and anywhere you want smooth skin. This is a long lasting bar which is just plain lovely. The scent is light and fresh and a perfect morning pick-me-up.













Carrot Complexion Soap
Description
The sunrise colour of these complexion bars comes from pure organic carrot juice. Its gentle fragrance, which smells faintly like a health food store, is very mild and is from pure howood essential oil. This nutrient-rich soap is full of skin conditioning ingredients such as cocoa butter and castor oil, and your skin will thank you for washing with it!

Lavender Bath Bar

I bet this is heavenly!


Cherry Almond Bath Bar
You really NEED to smell this, stop in to Love Me even if it's just to have a little sniff. You won't be disappointed.
