A Trip to My Sister's House

I love going to my sister's home. It is in a constant state of flux. Creativity reigns supreme here, your eye bounces from one spot to the other, purely delightful.

While I wanted to show case her amazing bathroom reno, as luck would have it, it's behind schedule. So we have to settle for garden pictures till my next visit.

My sister, Marjorie, is an artist in her own right and many of the objects found in her garden are of her own creation or those of her artisan friends. My favorite element is the back fence of the hidden garden covered with old mirrors.

Cool Customers

Not all my customers are this cool. Erv Salvador, owner of the Whip Club in Vancouver, gets ready to drive away from Surroundings. In the side car sits Beau (the big guy) and Jake (the little guy). Jake use to work at Surroundings with his lovely owner, Carey Thiessen. Salvador and Thiessen live in Vancouver, and drop in to see us when they are in town.

In The Dog House

The day this dog house was completed, Flinn, a Shepherd lab cross, ran inside and right back out again. Sadly he never quite took to his new digs. The dog house sits unoccupied in a beautiful country garden.

The owner was not dismayed by the dogs rejection. She loves how the little structure fits in amongst her wild garden. She designed and built the dog house to reflect the style of the main house and the chicken coop.
