Seems business is good in Collingwood these days. These two budding entrepreneurs were doing a steady business on Saturday. Great product, great prices and great customer service: a winning combination. Oh, and proceeds went to the Heart and Stroke Foundation in honour of Gramma who recently had a stroke. We wish her well and are [...]
One of my favourite clients invited me out to her cottage just west of Thornbury one sunny afternoon. We ate freshly picked cherries from Goldsmiths up the road. I dug my toes in the sand. The water was as clear as a crystal. Some days my job is really tough.

The terraced amphitheatre incorporates locally quarried limestone into it’s design and is built into a landscaped berm. It will be utilized for summer events, such as music festivals and concerts featuring our trademark spectacular sunsets. Plans are to open the theatre, along with [...]
Ready for a little chuckle? This guy redefines “pushy real estate agent.” (I promise this won’t happen when we go looking!)
Well, maybe that is a big first step. But it is true indeed that one persons junk is another persons’ treasure. A few years ago, we had a yard sale and among other things, there was an old iron bed headboard. The lady who bought it told me she was going to give it a [...]
I was reading a column in the local paper written by Canadas most decorated citizen, Richard Rohmer.
