Our Outdoor Market Experience as Vendors
For nearly a decade, Derek put together (with partners) the World of Motorcycles Expo in London, ON. When we signed up for the Sunset Vintage Market on Sunday, we knew a bit about what we were in for. But boy, we had a lot to learn! We had attended it several times as browsers and really enjoyed it.

We now know that populist Hungarian President Viktor Orban was swept out of office after sixteen years. My cousin BA and I were due to arrive in Budapest the day after the election. As our flight drew closer, Orban was talking about trying to cancel voting and there were widespread protests. It looked anything but calm in the country’s capital.

The Grandmother Land
There’s a strange phenomenom when you come home from a big trip. At a certain point you wonder, did that really happen? Thank goodness there are photographs to prove my seventeen days in three countries were all real.

Away We Go! Odchodzimy!
It’s finally here! I’ve dreamed about going to Poland since I was a little girl. And now I’m going with the other person in my life who had the same dream, my cousin (and great friend) Barbara Anne.

It’s Easier to Give the Shirt Off Your Back
We’ve all heard the cliche: one person’s junk is another person’s treasure. Like most cliches, it’s rooted in truth. Just ask my thrift store loving husband.

I Otter Share This With You
The more I learn about psychology and trauma, the more I realize we need to share stories like this. After all, some say the Internet was invented so we could share cat videos! Otters are cute too.
