Booth knick knacks 😬. Ya’ll cleaned us out! Working on some more pieces to bring 😉.

I love the framed tin art, it’s one of my favourite things we have in the booth. When Jer and me went to a South Carolina, we saw a booth full of it at the flea market in Charleston. It said on the back of each one where the tin came from.

But mostly I love it because it’s a simple and beautiful way to add texture to your room. Whether the tin art is hung by a candle or leaning on a bathroom shelf, it looks good no matter where it is.

We have a few small stools left, as well as some antique corbel stencils for your woodworker.

Thank you for shopping our booth! We will be there soon with a restock! 😍

I love old things because it’s an instant way to make a home look lived in. We have a newly renovated home and at first, the knicks and dings from the kids made me crazy.

But I realized over time that I had to relax because the bumps is how character is made.

It’s great when everything looks new and shiny, but it’s character that makes it cozy.

I have seen the same concept parenting my kids.

When I first became a mom, I was only 21. I had no idea what I was doing. Every time my son fell or cried, I rushed to help him and make things right.

Kid two came along, and my parenting was divided. Suddenly I wasn’t able to respond to every cry, knick, or scrape.

Kid three, well, if you have three kids… you know.

(According to researchers, mothers of three are the most stressed of any number!)

Now that there are five kids, my parenting has definitely changed.

Less bothers me than it would have before. I find myself bailing them out less, encouraging them to figure out solutions on their own, and not responding as much to the temporary distresses that come with growing up.

It’s not that I don’t care, I do.

But I know they’re building character.

And character is what will make them strong, independent, and resilient.

Much like our house.

(And also our furniture… the carpets… the tile in the bathroom… the entryway grout… the yard… 🙈😅)

So yeah, I love those old things. They make our house feel like a home. 🩷

….

(Oh my, does this mean that I am now the “old thing?!” I mean, I like moderately getting older things…)

Things I bought for you and then I kept 😆. Picture of the girl in the bathroom, fruit picture in the kitchen (work in progress, don’t mind the backsplash!), and a striped pillow.

It happens sometimes. 🙈

The rustic white cabinet from our booth has sold! We will bring something new ASAP!

Oh Woodstock, we’re finally back. 😍 Back with a rustic beauty (it was so hard for me to not to keep this sideboard!!), timely nostalgia, and new home and kitchen wares.

My favourite new thing is our LIFE Magazine gallery. We have a number of collector magazines from the 50’s and 60’s in very good condition that we have glass-framed in protective sleeves.

The sleeve can be removed (it does create a slight glare), but it was important to me that we protect the integrity of the magazines.

This instalment I am calling, “The Draft.”

With a U.S. draft looming, this hits close to home for me because I used to live in the states. Before we came back to Canada, my oldest was eligible for citizenship. I wasn’t sure. I wanted him to have it because he lived most of his life there, but I had a mama-intuition, God-warning, gut feeling that a war was coming.

This was 2019.

We moved to Canada. I didn’t apply for his citizenship until after we moved, and he did not become a citizen, even though he lived there for over ten years- and I am a U.S. citizen.

He will be 18 this October…

He would have been at the top of the list for this potential draft.

American history is often intertwined with Canadian history. Our friends to the south, our allies, our comrades, our partners, our military friends, they should not be forgotten. (Ahem, even in political climates 😅🙈)

Our veterans are life or death important. Necessary, and yet the reality horrible. The sacrifices of those who protect us are greatly under-appreciated.

I have seen firsthand what war does to a man. There is a difference between choosing that path, and having it forced upon you.

Right now, I think we’re at one of those moments in history we won’t want to forget.

“The Draft” instalment is more than a piece of history, it’s a reminder that the safe and beautiful country we live in came at a cost. Not only for those who fight, but for their families, coworkers, and friends.

I hope that you love the art as much as I do. 😉

And we are so happy to be back!

Good morning, everyone! Phew 😅, what a winter we’re having! I can’t believe how much snow we have (you should see our barbecue).

I appreciate the moments of stillness in winter. The gardens, the lawn, the beach adventures, they’re all on pause for a while and it’s nice to have a short break.

(I say short because I don’t chill well and don’t like the cold).

Anyhoo, mindful of the break, I thought it was timely and appropriate to feature a book table for the month of February in our booth in Woodstock, ON.

Curling up with a new book, a cozy blanket, and a steamy tea (and maybe also a lover 😉☺️😘) sounds like a great time to me. 🤪

My book, No One Brings You a Casserole When Your Husband Goes to Rehab, is there of course. Along with many other titles I hand selected for you.

And I will be bringing a new library of reads in honour of Black History Month in a couple of days. 😊

If you love books or just want a reason to snuggle beside your man (or woman), check out our book table at the One of a Kind Antique Mall. We are booth 201, located on the second floor.

Oh, and I almost forgot to mention the GIANT Satsuma vases we brought in. It is an antique mall, after all. 😉 They’re absolutely stunning. Details in the photos. 🤩

Happy shopping, and stay cozy! 🩷🐿️

Shaking it up a bit! In honour of Thanksgiving Weekend for our friends to the South, we’re making Liberty Bagels this weekend.

If you’ve ever been a NYC bageler, you know that this is a classic NYC bagel made famous by Liberty Bagels.

At least, I think Liberty Bagels made them famous 😅 there is a bit of a “bagel war” happening there.

The traditional way to eat your Liberty bagel is with a Birthday Cake Cream Cheese schmear. Now that it’s cold out, we made that for you, too! (Recipe is not set in stone, it needs a slight tweak to taste more like the original one).

We had quite a night last night 😑. Hubby lost his wedding band and after looking everywhere, we had a moment of, “What if it’s in the bagels?”

😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳😳

We were pretty sure I would have felt them when I rolled the bagels out, but just to be absolutely sure no one ate a wedding ring, we cut them all up.

And no, it wasn’t there. 🤦🏼‍♀️🤦🏼‍♂️

Sighhhhhhh!!!!!! Sad day, late night.

Anyway, we’re still holding out hope that it’ll appear. In the meantime, enjoy a happy, ring-free bagel! 😅

Happy Thanksgiving American friends! 🤗🩷🍂🦃

We are located on Highway 59 in Port Rowan. Send me a message if you need the exact address.
