I would love to buy something like this for the lawn for Christmas decor but at $25 a pop  – now that’s too much I’ll have to say!  darn! i should have bought more stuff during the craft show at the Rodd Grand Hotel this year.  I can understand that they are hand painted at [...]

Lawn decor for Christmas is now in session – we are taking out stuff – getting ready to decorate the lawn once Remembrance Day is over.  As a show of respect – we never decorate before Remembrance Day.   This year – I hope we can get all the stuff out before the end of November [...]
