Remember that new mystery product I was talking about, and had yet to unveil... well it's here! New to the etsy shop is the Cabin + Cub 2010 desk calendar. Now you can celebrate your year with twelve months of collage images to brighten your day! Each calendar comes with twelve individual cards (one for each month) and a reusable wooden mini easel stand. Be the envy of your office mates and coworkers, and make your desk a happy place.
It has officially been three years since I opened the Cabin + Cub etsy shop and to celebrate I am having a big anniversary sale to celebrate!!! Ok, this is not one of those annoying sales where you only save, like 10% off either... I am offering huge savings just in time for the holidays!
So to my shock and awe... as everything green on our balcony is dying a slow autumn death... there is actually one plant that seems to be on its own clock... is this global warming? I actually have blooming flowers!... and believe it or not, these are from last easter! Believe me... this is an amazing leap for my attempt at a green thumb (things on our balcony have a 50/50 chance out here). Oh no, I hope they didn't hear that... oh, I hope I didn't jinx them... please don't die, please don't die little flowery friends!

I can't believe it's already November! I swear the time in between Halloween and the winter holidays seems to go in warp speed every year. Two more craft shows coming up for the holiday season, so it's time to jump into production again. I have been working on some more mini cards these last couple of evenings... so thought I would share the progress so far. Hopefully these will be as popular as last year's fairs, or I am going to be sending everyone I know and their families these little notes every day for the next year.
I love the falling leaves of autumn... and lately I have been noticing more and more trees that have beautiful bright autumn berries... so pretty! On a nature walk over the weekend, we managed to snap pics of three different berry-types in varying shades of red, orange and pink. I really want some to have in the house, but am trying to resist the urge of clamoring up a tree with a small saw... so I think I may have to visit the local florist today to see if they have any pre-cut ones.
As an answer to what we did this Halloween weekend: we went to the Museum of Vancouver to check out their new exhibit Ravishing Beasts - an extensive collection of taxidermy from the 1890s to 1950, followed by a screening of Alfred Hitchcock's Psycho... a great combo indeed! Seeing all the life-sized stuffed animals was a bit creepy, but pretty interesting, since it gave everyone a sense of scale of some of these large beasts. And the bonus was, I finally got to see Psycho in its entirety (yes, I must have been one of the last few on earth who hadn't seen it)... and it was great!... love how the taxidermy theme ran through the whole night.... spooky!
