Antique Shopping in Nanton

Top photo - love the fresh spring like colors in this photo - the room was flooded with light which was a little suprising for the gloomy overcast winter day it was today! After church Andy and I drove to Nanton to check out their antique stores. For a small rural town, it was an impressive number of antique shops! We are searching for a new kitchen table, to replace our 25+ year old table currently on its last legs ... even though we didn't find anything in our price range, it's always fun to look!

What a slogan!

Not sure who the target audience is for this tag line ... the outdoor enthusiast or the single gal?

Family Day

Andy and I hit the road today and stopped by Bragg Creek and Cochrane. Top photo taken at Bragg Creek - the red wooden sign hanging on the door said "welcome, come on in" but sadly the store was closed! Loved the thermos with the reto cowgirl theme and in Cochrane, we were delighted by the British Birds tea set we found in a home decor store.

Browsing

what is better than grabbing a coffee and browsing the local book store on a Saturday afternoon....one of our favorite ways of spending time together.

Special Valentine Card

I took the opportunity to combine both my loves .... Andy and scrapbooking and made this felt booklet to give Andy for Valentine's Day. I got the idea from another scrapbooker and put my own personal twist on it by adding photos, monograming and adding ties. Andy loved it!


We went for sushi at our local sushi bar and exchanged cards a day early to avoid the Valentine's Day rush (it's typically so busy Valentine's Day it's hard to get a restaurant reservation anywhere).

Tyler's Birthday!

Today we celebrated Tyler's birthday with a cake and a game of Quiddler, the new family favorite! Black Forest Cake is one of Tyler's favorite treats!
