Vacation in Lac Labelle 2012

The weather wasn't the greatest as it rained almost 10 days out of the 14 we stayed there, but at least the sun came out every day by 3pm and we enjoyed the lake. Henry our new dog, swam for his first time in the lake. He needed a life jacket because he would sink down and get tons of water in his nose and start honking. Blu our 6 mos old lab is able to go almost to the dock.
We had lots of visitors, my daughter Sam and her boyfriend Joe P., my son Joey and his girlfriend Liane, Chuck's Uncle Egon and girlfriend Crystal, and on the last evening our friend Larry and Christine.
We celebrated my son, Joey's 21st birthday and had a wonderful dinner.
Tons of projects were done from painting 2 rooms in the basement, making apple sauce from the apples picked on a tree on the road, and partial sanding of the deck.

And they say that dog's look like their owner's.

Sewing machine drawers

I found these sewing machine drawers at the curb last summer and have been debating what to do with them. I may try to sell on and keep the other for a project....hum so many projects....what shall I do? I love the detail on each of the little drawer pulls and one of them has this little detailed corner which is so cute. the bottom of this one lost it's veneer After some research on some of my blogs that I visit I found some great ideas like this one by Mamie Jane's Here is another idea to use the drawers for from http://www.etsy.com/listing/65855791/salvaged-vintage-sewing-machine-drawer?ref=sr_list_1&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = Or this one from http://www.etsy.com/listing/63700962/vintage-oak-sewing-machine-drawer-with?ref=sr_list_19&ga_search_query=sewing+machine+drawers&ga_page=2&ga_search_type=all&ga_facet = another real cute design for candle holders f

End of a collection #Breweriana

For years my hubby and I collected Breweriana items. It started with beer glasses and within a year or two without realizing it, we had over 100 displayed in our A frame window ledge. Then it was coasters from every bar or restaurant we visited. The next level was Beer trays which we eventually sold off. This all started when we were making our own beer even managed to find the old quart size bottles and the cases. As with most collections it grows without even noticing. You know it's out of control when you need to clean over 100 glasses, twice a year. We still pick up glasses, coasters and trays here and there but more for reselling. This is the last bit of the collection that we no longer display and all the coasters have a pin hole as they were mounted in our basement on our barn wood walls. They are in relatively good condition for the next collector to come along and purchase them. Poshmark.ca/closet/bpagani Thank you for checking them out. update this batch which had lots
