I don’t know about you, but it feels like 2011 is flying by. I can’t believe it’s April already!

I’m thinking that I might be able to stop 2011 from getting away on me if I buy myself a sweet well designed calendar! (or so that’s how I’ll justify it to myself :P ). Feel free to click on any of the images for more information.

As I recently relocated my nest, I found myself thinking about my workspace and how it impacts my productivity, creativity and work-flow. This led to thoughts about how our workspaces, to a degree, reflect who we are. For instance mine would tell you that I really like teal, markers, asymmetry, textures and clean lines. What does your space say about you? Have you thought about it?

I saw the potential in this small Port Stanley store so I offered my services to give it a little facelift. :)  With a tiny budget we set out to transform the place. 

I decided on, what I’m calling, a Rustic Beach Theme - light & airy with antique/rustic touches.

I’ve always been fascinated by light! I love it’s ability to transform any boring space into something magical. I’m really digging the recent emphasis on solar-powered lights.

As you know, whenever I’m able, I love promoting products that are available to the average southwestern ontarian. So for you folks, here’s my selection of the coolest of the cool! (Good for the environment and affordable, too!)

A couple of weeks ago I stumbled across the “90 Days with D90″ project, www.90d90.com. A guy started it by creating a video of every photo he took within the first 90 days of purchasing his Nixon D90. I really liked this simple idea but don’t have a Digital SLR, let alone pictures from the first 90 days!
