TGIF


Can't believe it is Friday again! This week has whizzed by. I have a few things brewing on the blog side of things and, in addition to teaching, my brain is bursting at the seams with ideas and projects I want to work on. 

My poor pooch was sick this week too, had to take him to the vet. Since he is a bit of a garbage hound, he apparently ate something that gave him a stomach thing... lets just say the clean up from his backside in the laundry room had my husband gagging! After a trip to the vet, some antibiotics, probiotics (that have that for dogs???) and a check-up he is on the mend. But next we go to deal with his arthritis and pain. Poor old dog.

In between appointments, marking, house cleaning, reading magazines, this is what...

caught my eye this week:




CB2 ombre stump tables....at $399, I smell a DIY.




A local blogger and designer along with her handy husband who happens to be a skookum photographer had their home featured in BC Home Magazine. I happened to meet this gal through my sister, who mentioned that Jodi, my former garden plot neighbour was a blogger and designer. Well, a few years later, her and her husband's talent is finally recognized in print! Check out the photos on their blog! Hard to believe they live in the townhouse!



Being a sucker for black and white, love this kid's room.


Made this for dinner, it was devoured. Delish and yummo!

Do you think you have what it takes to be featured as an "Everygirl"? Everygirl is accepting submissions, maybe the next face featured could be you!


I am signing off. Tomorrow I am off to West Elm Market's pet party!

XO Barbara

  3. Hope your dog is doing better. Ours is on an anti-inflammatory and pain killer 24/7. Some days are good, others not so much. It's so hard when they get old! Have a great weekend :)
