Cuteoverload

This made me think of a Ingmar Bergman film if he made 'films' about cats.

How secure is your package?


This is a box containing items I ordered and intended to give as Christmas gifts. It took over 30 days to receive from the supplier through no fault of the post. I placed my order November 28 online and was informed that it had been shipped December 4. I received it on January 3. See how well the box is sealed? I am actually missing an item from my order and presume it slipped out of the opening. I don't think I'm wrong about that.

I have still NOT received any reply to numerous messages I left on the 1-800 of the supplier. I had to leave messages due to 'high volume of calls' they were receiving. Their message said my call would be responded to in 48 hours. I have complained to their 'parent' company and to the Better Business Bureau. But still, I have not heard from the supplier. I'll give you a hint as to who it is... of the few actual Canadian TV broadcasters, this one has the letters __ B C. (I don't want to say the name and get in some kinda trouble. Oww, I'd be so scared! NOT!) I'm thinking of calling a troubleshooter at either CTV or Global. Ha ha!!

CFL and Craft Fairs

Hmmm, I don't think the two mix very well. The turn out at Dog with Wings was a little sad and I'm sure the turn in weather didn't help. Oh well. Thanks to all who came and supported this very worthy charity. The dogs were so well behaved ...

It was the end of a long day for Charlie. Having sat patiently while dressed in his Santa hat to have his photo taken with shoppers, he decided he needed a quick nap before heading home.

Check my Photo Albums on the top right for pictures of jewelry that is still available.

Success at Artfest!

Congratulations to all the vendors and organizers of Artfest 2007! Over 700 shoppers and browsers came to Bellevue Hall to see what was happening in the art community of Bellevue Highlands. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table!

If you are thinking about that piece you didn't pick up for your favorite Aunt or best friend or yourself, please check my photo albums (on the right side of the page at the top) to see if it is still available. Once you open the album you can hover over the pictures to see description, price and availability. You can also click on the photo for a closer look.

If I am able to do any more venues before Xmas I will post here on my blog. You can email me if there is something you would like to purchase. the.ckirby@shaw.ca
