Rustic Furniture Specialist

Inspired by a trip to Bali and Phuket, one cannot help but wonder why our bed and breakfast here cannot have themes that are rustic or even Spanish/Mexican to attract more tourist and even guests from the surrounding towns during the summer. Places like Digby, which is a seaport has great potential for such a bed and breakfast.

Instead of the very typical, English decor you get in this part of the world, I’m sure as a guest from the United States or other province in Canada, one would choose different setting rather than a conventional one. Afterall, rustic furniture are now available and affordable online.

One can have Rustic Wall Décor in every bedroom, such as a metal, sun and moon mirror. I’m sure your guest/s would definitely appreciate something different than your run in the mill bed and breakfast. Online store at Tres Amigos, has everything designed and constructed exclusively for them, from rustic hardware to furnitures and its accessories, this is your one-stop shop for anything you need for a makeover of your bed and breakfast. And because they are wholesaler, you get the best in prices and definitely a great deal too. Shipping is inclusive in the prices, so you’ll save even more. Should a bed and breakfast turn into one of those Mexican/Spanish resort, I’ll be the first to be there.

Quite Overwhelming

For the last few days.. customers turned into friends had been dropping in .. in steady streams.. to drop presents for Chloe. Yes.. and for those who couldn’t make it for the birthday party.. they too, drop in with her gifts.

It is quite overwhelming for me.. to be honest.. to receive so much kindness from these ppl for they don’t really have to buy a present for Chloe . .but they did, so they touched my heart. Even Godma Lynn sent an overnite present .. thru’ courier for Chloe’s Christmas. Sometimes.. when one receives so much.. it is time to give back .. to society… and this we have to teach Chloe .. starting this year. The money she saved.. we are taking it out . .and explaining it to her.. that we are donating for a good cause… and will therefore start a new tradition for the brat.

Going Mexican

Rustic Furniture are very popular in Asia and when I first migrated to the west, I’ve always wonder, how can i ship all these wonderful pieces here to be used to furnish my home. Afterall, Bali and Thailand are pretty far away and I don’t want to pay exorbitant prices in shipping, as that would defeat its purpose.

Having found a wholesale furniture online store with shipping included in its price, one can turn any house or cottage of yours into a holiday resort anytime and anyday. I’m sure for many of us, after a hard days work or a week of working long hours, just seems right to set the house in a rustic mode, to give the holiday and relax feel that one wants but not everyone can just head off for a holiday at the drop of a coin. What better alternative but to furnish your home.. with the best yet affordable southwestern furniture whereby it not only sets the mood for a stress-free weekend .. but also quality and unique items.

A sunflower bench near the window sill to just read and relax with loads of plush cushions… where the deck is, would be a perfect outdoor furniture. Made of 100% solid wood and handcrafted, this is a piece whereby all your friends and visitors are going to remember. Of course, there are more than just benches and furniture, you will find a whole range of home furnishing for a splendid makeover of your house. Turn your cottage into a cozy resort, a home away from home feel. And you know what it shouldn’t cost you an arm an a leg.

So yes.. i have more food now.. and lots of lotus roots.. in turn i shared it with Mr Choo from the Chinese restaurant.. so that he can make some chinese soup for his wife and daughter. Yes.. I strongly believe in giving when one is so blessed.

A Romantic Valentine

Too early you think to plan for a Valentine Getaway..?? I think not.. because of our busy schedule, if i didn’t do it right now, I’ll bet .. i’ll missed it.. and finally gave up. .and not do anything special for Valentine.

In any relationship, after a certain period of time, it gets kinda monotonous.. and dreary. I am sure you feel the same as I, not that we love our partner any lesser, just that familiarity breeds .. hmmm.. being too lax..?? A truly unforgettable Valentine escapade is what any woman would be looking forward to.

Paris is of course my first choice. Afterall, what can beat a Valentine break in Paris, where the city is known for being romantic.. and the food, exquisite! You’ve gotta love the french.. when it comes to being romantic.. and providing the finest not only in scenery but in food. Enchanted by the Eiffel Tower.. and its breathtaking view.. and renewing your vows right on top of the Eiffel Tower, is one of my plans. But a Carribean romance is also to die for.

Your vacation need not be expensive either, for making direct reservations with Holiday Rentals save you up to as much as 40% of the agent price. So if you are like me, always busy.. and always making excuses, make your direct reservations now.. and avoid any disappointment.

Diver’s Watch

Looking for a present for my ex-brother-in-law, James is not easy .. but since he is a scuba diver, a Technomarine watch is the best thing i can get for him. I bet he is going to find it both useful and would appreciate it. Men are hard to get gifts for and since the watches were on sale right now, I definitely didn’t want to miss out on getting him something that is going to turn heads.

Christmas Window 2007

Photobucket

Window all painted up by Keegan. No complains.. no nothing.. didn’t wanna take our money for buying the paint either.. but of course we insisted. Unlike some other ex-employees of ours.. who never would buy anything.. unless we gave them the money.. or specifically tell them .. to pick it up from a certain place, here we have a 17 yrs old.. who takes initiative to do whatever it takes to do the job right. We were in Halifax.. when she did up the window.. besides painting.. she put up all the lights.. and stars.. and other decor. Unlike last year.. we were so unable .. because of Ms Selfish. Business is way better this year.. than last.. and we have had not one problem.. from the present employees.

HeartWarming School Tale

It is heartwarming to read that 2 students made their teacher’s wish come true. One of the kid is also someone we know.. who is a distant relative of PB by marriage. Kiersten Finlay is the lil’ gal that we know from Arcadia School. She and another friend took the effort to get ahold of hockey legend Ray Bourque to give a call to their teacher, Glenn Bourque who is a huge fan of Ray.

It sure warmed my heart to know that there are good kids around.. despite the fact that we see so many bad ones hanging around our store.. and trying their best to rip us off. It’s kids like Kiersten who make me hesitate to pack up.. and leave for Asia.

My Very Own Pool

Working in a hotel many years ago, has made me enjoy the finer things in life. And as a hotel employee .. we get to use the health club that includes the pool facilities. But you know how it is.. using the hotel’s pool, there were way too many people using it at the same time, to feel comfy.

Moving to the west .. actually make alot of my dreams come true, because of the many land and space available, we are able to have a yard, a playground for my brat…and now we should look into getting a personalize pool for next summer. phoenix pool builders would be perfect fit for us, if we were in the United States for they have over 29yrs old experience in building pool to fit your individual lifestyle. Using the best material for the pool and a guarantee of satisfaction for every job they do.
