Weekend Plans

 

I don't know what your plans for the weekend are, but I just read our weather forecast and

it is going to be dreary with light snows here. So my plan is to put my feet up in the recliner and

finish reading this book I received from my daughter and her family for Christmas.

Emily seems to think that I have an adventurous spirit, but let me tell you it is nothing

compared to this lady who built cabins, did her own plumbing, and guided people

on outback camping trips-Well, I could go on and on. She is one amazing

lady! Having been to the Boundary waters in the US and Canada both, I truly

appreciate reading  Justine Kerfoot's story.

And Tim & I have been to Grand Marais MN many times too, where the

Gunflint Trail begins.

This book my son and DIL bought for me. As you can see it has very detailed

information for gardening. I love it! So I'm going to read and dream it this

weekend too.

Now because I know you're all going to want to see a close up of my moccasins and have

questions about them (wink), I will tell you that these are not the $260.-$320. ones we sold

in the gallery I managed in the NWT. Our gallery moccasins were hand scraped moose hide

that was smoked by the Dene peoples, then sewn and beaded. I bought mine in the Yukon three

years ago for $80., which was a really good price for them.

This was our moccasin case in the gallery. I had one mother from Toronto tell me that she

couldn't come home without a pair for her daughter last winter. The big fashion rage there

was to wear moccasins all winter and the 'Canada Goose' parka's. We had to laugh because

we couldn't imagine it ever getting that cold in Toronto. After all, Canada Goose, is what

people in the Sub-Arctic and Arctic wear!! Well, it was great for our sales anyway. Now...

A Very Important Announcement

We all know that after Feb.29th any of our followers who

do not use Google (blog spot) will be dropped from our

followers widget on our sidebars.  Because of this I chose

to offer a Linky Follower for my friends who do not use

Blogger. If this pertains to you, please become a Linky

Follower now! It is very easy and because I appreciate

having you as a blogging friend, I would really miss you!

I'm going now to search the friends I follow that are not with Google and become a Linky

follower on their sites.

I hope you have a great weekend-Kimberly
