This week, Teknion reps dropped by our office with this years 'garden in a bag'.
Last year it was Mint, and it was wonderful.
This year's bag is oregano! Woot!
Even though there were a few snow flakes in the air today, I am heartened by the hope this one little bag brings me.
Thanks Teknion!

Product Testing: New Use for Olive Oil
You might have heard of using olive oil for a wide variety of uses from polishing stainless steel to conditioning leather to (and this might be the weirdest,) cooking!
Well, I might have come up with a new use...

Curbside Shopping: Radio Teaser
THIS!!
I was leaving for work, and saw one of my neighbours put this beautiful little creature out on the curb.
What I love most about items like this, is it is just the right amount of 'busted' to let me put my own stamp on it, and not feel obligated to restore it. In fact, I doubt neither the radio nor the record player work still. Truly perfect.
Stay tuned to what ends up happening with this Addison Standard Broadcast cabinet,

Real Estate: Mill Conversion
Gorgeous... and for sale. Check it out on their website!
Since Lanark County has a lot of old grist mills, it is pretty common to see them converted into residential apartments. I love it. This one is from the 1820s.
This is a great example of adaptive reuse.

Product Testing: Bissel Little Green Machine
Spring Cleaning has begun!
I bought this little green machine about 3 years ago, and so far have only ever used it on carpets. Today, I am trying it out on upholstery for the first time.
