I won! I won!
I was very pleased to hear that I just won this adorable knitted rabbit! Check out the details here. The adorable Teasel is to come my way all the way from Devon, England! Isn't that exciting! What a lovely treasure!
I am a big fan of Bustle and Sew and so this makes it an extra special prize. If you like sewing and embroidering and knitting then consider subscribing to her month magazine with plenty of inspiration and patterns in every issue.
Mail from England usually doesn't take that long - so I could have him in time for Easter - wouldn't that be something!?
(*the image is so little because any larger and it's pixelated, I took it from her flickr page.If you need to see a better photo of him, please go to the links)

Say "cheese"
For all you foodies out there, you've heard time and again about how important good ingredients are so let me tell you about a very special place called the Golden Ears CheeseWorks in Maple Ridge - oh my goodness!!!
So very delicious. Beautiful and scrumptious cultured butter, smooth flavour Quark, mild Gouda. We picked up a baguette (if we had time, I would have made the bread) and had butter and cheese and bread for dinner. Yum-my!!!
Besides the beautiful store and property and the terrific products on their shelves is the staff - family members helping to run the business. Sadly it's been a long time since I've met a passionate business person but boy does it make a difference. It's enjoyable (and lucrative for them) to be in the presence of people passionate about what they do and it shows in the quality of their products.
Another delicious destination to add to our regular shopping circuit!

Website review - The Burning House
The Burning House is a website where people take a photos of the items they'd take with them if their house was burning. I find it quite interesting and thought if it was raining where you are this long weekend, that you'd enjoying looking through it too.
I've long said that the first thing I would do was to make sure my dog was safe. I don't think I could save my fish though. I too would probably grab some things like my computer and harddrive, jewelry, camera and wallet. It's hard to say what I would think of at that moment.
My father's family lost their home when he was young due to fire and barely anything survived. He always said 'fire is final' and boy does that sure seem to be true. I can't imagine what the poor people of Slave Lake, Alberta are going through - 300 homes plus countless other city buildings. So much of the town burned that many don't even think there is anything to go back to. They don't have a job anymore, and/or the school burned down so they kids can't even return to school - it's just so hard to believe.
May you never have to loose your home to fire, tsunami, the Rapture.... well I guess if the Rapture happened, you wouldn't be reading this.... so then forget what I said....
