SNOW DAY for CAMP HO-BA-CHEE

It's a pretty snowy day in Trent Hills today and we have been doing more than our fair share of shovelling. But the biggest challenge was deciding what would be the best way to get to our shop in Warkworth today. Some of our options were:

Train - except there is none in these parts so scratch that.

Skiing. True, there are lots of hills here but not that many. And without a chair lift - forget it.

A weird wheeled hovercrafty thing with ski attachments. Except we don't own one. Darn.

Snowshoes. Really? Are you kidding me? I get out of breathe going around the block!

By way of an adorable, vintage snowmobile. It would be perfect and we'd look so cute on it. Again the problem is that we don't own one. Poopy!

By sled. Good idea except they're all at the shop and not here.

By modifying our van into a hovercrafty thing. But by the time we modified our van it would be time to close the shop and come back home. So kinda defeats the purpose.

By spinning our way to work. We tried, but got too dizzy.

 

And by far our personal favourite way was to strip down to the bare essentials with a bunch of crazy friends and toboggan to work. The only problem was all our crazy friends are already in Warkworth and not here.

And so we stayed home!

We miss you Warkworth. Hope to see you and all our crazy friends tomorrow.

FALLEN ANGEL SEEKS NEW HOME

This little darlin' may be a little bumped & bruised & soiled but to us she remains a perfect little angel. If you wish to open your home & heart to her she can be found at Camp Ho-Ba-Chee in Warkworth.

Just In!

Beautiful set of 4 bentwood style chairs made in Poland with a numbered brass City Dairy Co. tag on underside. Circa 1910-20. Of Thonet, Mundus or Kohn origin.

City Dairy Co. was formed in Toronto in 1900 and was founded by Walter Massey (of Massey-Harris). It was subsequently sold to Borden's.

Camp Ho-Ba-Chee in Apartment Therapy

We were delighted to learn yesterday that one of our pieces was featured in Apartment Therapy!

            So cool!

The article, Vases for Your Valentine (or Your Home!) included a vintage West German Bay Keramik vase of ours which we had posted on Etsy.
Our vase has since sold thanks to the added exposure from the article.
Thanks Apartment Therapy!
