Keeping it earthy, elegant and magical. Just have to make sure he agrees...


As of right now, I have decided that I would like a midsummer night's dream themed wedding. Paige, over at Bash Eco Events put together a stunning array of items to compliment this fantasy and ethereal theme.

And no, I'm not engaged but planning for your wedding is like planning your retirement so really - no better time than now to start thinking!

My new fave read.

Although he doesn't update everyday, when he does update he has the most incredible stories to tell. This post? Totally welled up the entire time.

Matt was on the Oprah show a few months back when she profiled super awsome amazing dads. He truly captured me and I've followed his blog ever since.

Kijiji...

Ok so I put up a schwack of stuff on Kijiji the other day and was stunned to see how interested people were in my stuff. I mean - who doesn't want a wicked kickass kitchen table, a TV or a bunch of purses. C'mon!

So I was totally thrilled to find that all my stuff was essentially sold within hours of it being on the website. After sifting through the ridiculous number of emails I received, I found myself giving people who had proper spelling, grammar and punctuation the upper hand when it came to selling them my goods.

Examples of responses I received:


WHERE ARE YOU LOCATED

And that was the only thing in the email. Thanks for coming out... moving on...

hi there,
may i buy this from you.
thanks den address?
time best 4 u?

Are you f'ing kidding me?? Next!

HI!
I wont to buy this table, I can came in saturday and pick up.

Ahh! No.

Am I being too picky? I mean - is it so hard to simply say "Hi, I'm interested in your fabulous table - is it still available? If so, please let me know if I am able to pick it up! Thank you!"

Yes, apparently it is. And with that, I still own all my stuff still but have a couple very interested buyers. A couple who said they would get it today (but then changed their mind and said they would take it ONLY if I delivered... Alistair does not deliver tables and chairs thank you very much). Sigh.
