We thought this cute little bird house hanging on our pergola was ornamental. The birds had a different idea. At first there was a chickadee taking up residence, but she apparently got discouraged when a strong wind storm blew it down. We put it. back up and then the wrens moved in. We had been enjoying watching both parents taking turns bringing various insect lunches for their young brood (7 chicks) including moths and even grasshoppers (thank you very much). Suddenly on Saturday they "stopped cooking with cheese". There was much chatter in the Wren House, but one by one they climbed out stretched their wings and set off to explore the wide world. By Sunday morning we were empty nesters once again.

Just a reminder that we are open regular hours Tuesday - Saturday from 12-5. However, it is summer and we may be taking some days off to go smell the roses so it is still a good idea to call ahead if you are coming any distance. On the other hand, if you are in the neighbourhood and want to stop in, if we are home we can be open.

If you are making face coverings we have finally snagged a roll of elastic that is good for that purpose.. It is 5mm wide and sells for $0.99 / m.

That's what you might call "flexible" pricing. Yuk Yuk.

Retail sales is now open but we are not able to rent the long arm to customers ... yet. We are working on means to maintain the necessary distance and clean the area between customers. It was always a pleasurable part of the business and we look forward to being able to offer that service again. Chewy enjoys the company.

​We will post here and to our email group when we are able to do rentals again. In the meantime, Helen is accepting pieces to quilt for you.
