A late Thanksgiving post



I had meant to post on Thanksgiving Day, but I've had a terrible cold that put me down for a while. I'm just starting to feel like myself again.

So due to the terrible cold most of my long weekend was spent moaning and groaning and feeling sorry for myself. That is when I wasn't wiping my nose, or taking Tylenol, or pontificating on the evils of prolonged usage of Advil on the liver.



Then on Monday morning (Thanksgiving) I'd had enough of myself and said, we're going hiking. So off we went to the wilds of Oka and hiked the Calvaire trail. It was lovely. It is a connection of trails about 5 km long with little chapels or prayer stations dotted along the way. All connected at the top by a group of 3 small chapels. And what a view from the top. Magnificant. I had expected to see more red and yellow foliage, but there was still a lot of green.





Feeling a little hungry after our hike we stopped by the Oka Monastery to buy some cheese and maple chocolate. Originally made by the monks, they still oversee the production.



I was even feeling well enough to cook the fowl and make fresh cranberry sauce and giblet gravy. So all in all not a bad day.

Today's gonna be a good day



This summer I discovered Fitflops. For the uninitiated these sandals are supposed to do everything from giving your bum a great shape, to strengthening your legs, to giving you a workout while you walk. I just think that they are the most incredibly comfortable sandal. I wore mine all summer and was sad to think that I had to put them away when fall arrived.

Then today low and behold while we're all out shopping at Rockland I found these beauties. Fitflop slippers.



I couldn't believe it. They also had little boots but they looked too much like Uggs for my liking (ugh). Didn't have time to try them on as it was 5 minutes to closing and I hate to be rushed. But I'm heading back tomorrow. Yeah.

Big sale in the shoppe



I've put all my short sleeved tees on sale in the shoppe to clear out my summer stock.

I have been spending more and more time designing for my adult tee shoppe. So is this the beginning of the end for my children's tees?

Not sure yet. Have to make some decisions.Can't do it all.

Have a lovely Thanksgiving weekend. And eat lots of turkey.
