birdsnest2: For all the stupid shit this guy says (seriously guys, his handlers’ lives must be nightmares) this made me laugh and really appreciate someone with a sense of humour in Calgary.

fishingboatproceeds: This man needs to be mayor of ALL THE CITIES.

tyleroakley: Now THAT’S how you get reelected.

What a great city! What a great mayor!

Valentines baskets photos are available at The Stand. We’re pretty proud of them.

Gentlemen Prefer Blondes but red heads and brunettes would also love this sensuous collection: a pretty pink package of loves cakes, a luxurious bath cake and bath bonbons from Calgary’s own Frilly Lilly, dead sea bath salts from Seracon, the Sanctuary collection from Tea Forte, chocolate covered pretzels and most importantly luscious lip butter.

Happy Movember mobrethren and sisters!

The time has come again…

The time when men across the nation sprout mustaches for a cause.

“With their ‘Mo’s’, these men raise vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer.

Mo Bros effectively become walking, talking billboards for the 30 days of November. Through their actions and words, they raise awareness by prompting private and public conversation around the often ignored issue of men’s health.”

I think Movember is the coolest and am rather jealous of the instant bond the Mo-stache creates between participating bros. When my dad and his work crew signed up, I discovered that women could be “MoSistas” too.

If you are able to help, I’d love it if you’d donate to me. Even a dollar helps. Thank you so much!

Several weeks ago, Heidi (one of my University roommates) and I went to the CUT Exhibition at the Glenbow Museum. We spent the afternoon looking at costumes from famous movies.

The level of artistry and attention to detail was inspiring. It was surprisingly moving to see tangible objects from movies that have truly impacted my life. The gowns from Finding Neverland were the most special to me.

I found the most interesting costume to be Captain Jack Sparrow’s outfit. The other costumes blew me away, but this one wasn’t outstanding. Though it was one of the costumes I was most familiar with (and most excited to see), it didn’t even seem like the costume from the movie. I think that profoundly illustrates Johnny Depp’s portrayal of Captain Jack Sparrow. Without Depp, Sparrow is just another stereotypical pirate. It’s the actor that really made the character, as well as the costume.

I love short stories and the spoken word, and was more than excited to come upon this beautiful piece by the lead of my current favourite band.

A Choice Of Three (spoken word story) - Alex Turner

In the tunnel I noticed I had a choice of three. While I thought it very kind of them to offer me this, I do wonder if they realized what a dilemma they were sending to face me.

The trouble was, if I looked at your reflection in the left window I missed the actual image of you and your reflection in the right. And if I looked in the right I had the same problem but the other way around.

At first I thought I should probably settle on one of the mirrors as they were soon to disappear, but that idea quickly wilted, and my attention was drawn back to the center, occasionally checking on either side.

I must say I did question the authenticity of your nap a few minutes before. As the train left Loughborough I suspected it could’ve been a device to avoid conversation. I’d barely considered this for a moment, however, when a heavy breath and a gulping sound that I decided would be too embarrassing to fake led me to conclude that your nap wasn’t fraudulent.

I found it difficult to concentrate on anything else as you slumped beneath your coat. Delighted that we’d waited until this hour to travel so the evening sun got its opportunity to skip across those sleeping cheeks, but unnerved by the prospect of being removed from the opposing chair to yours. I knew it was reserved but hoped that whoever had reserved it had fallen over.

It looked as if today I’d be safe. The train wasn’t too busy but I did take a moment to recall the time when I was less fortunate.

I remembered it with a chilling virility we were on the way to Brighton.

I knew it was going to be his seat as soon as I saw him on the platform, unzipping, checking, zipping, and rechecking things. Something about his face suggested that he had for years had a mustache and had not long since removed it. He wasn’t going to think twice about disposing of me, especially considering then he’d get the chance to sit with you.

Though his hiking boot-march through the carriage was rather revolting, it wasn’t this that made my hands tense up into sour claws of nausea. It was the way he said it.

“You’re in my seat.”

No “excuse me,” no polite uncertainty, just the rigid, hideous fact. The thud with which it landed expelled all my preparation. Before I remembered my plans to pretend to be asleep, deaf, French, or only sat there because someone was in my seat, I was walking to find another vacancy.

I ended up dwelling unhappily beside a girl with a boys bum. I knew that because she walked too far past when she returned to one of what I thought to be two empty seats when I sat myself there. I fidgeted until our reunion on the platform, where you brutally informed me “That man was really rather pleasant, actually.”

Today I thought I’d better make sure that couldn’t happen again and I pulled the ticket from the top of my seat. It took a few attempts and the facade of hanging a jacket to finally complete. I was terribly cautious. There’s a threat of punishment for such deeds by fine as far as I understand, but those shackles were at the back of my mind as I crushed the reservation in my hidden fist. Folding and squeezing as if it were that beast on the way to the seaside.

Fortunately, there was no retribution. If anything the train got quieter as the journey continued.

And so in the tunnel, unable to decide, my head flicked through this trilogy of angles, angel after angle, until we were out the other side.

My frantic twitching no doubt caused the man at the adjacent table to narrow his eyes at the very least, I imagine.

I don’t know for sure.

I didn’t have time to add him to the cycle.

Photos are on their way!

That means the website is on its way too. For the impatient, brochures will be available mid next week.

I’ll be making presentations to several business groups in the coming weeks. I’ve also booked space in some small business and craft shows! Evidently lots of new and exciting experiences are on the horizon.

(If only there was a tad more sun on the horizon to aid in the photographic process)

One of the greatest things about my business is that I get to unwrap boxes of goodies on a regular basis! Last week, I received some new stock from Wildly Delicious and Tea Forte. Both companies have such decadent products in beautiful packaging! The shipments included dessert teas, bread dippers, and Christmas tea sets.

I unpacked everything as soon as I got home from work! Once all the excitement had passed, I promptly fell asleep on an exercise mat in the corner.
