I always like to see clever gift wrapping ideas. Here are great ideas with pretty pictures too, on Houzz.com:

This year, I was happy to see that there are 9 of our gift-items featured in the Loulou Magazine online gift shopping guide. I knew that there was supposed to be a few, but I didn’t expect that much! Many thanks to the Loulou team for choosing these great gift ideas on GiftOsphere.ca!!!

Lovely evening last night at my friend Sabrina’s. I was happy to see her use my silicone wine tags on her wine glasses! (I didn’t remember her buying me some last winter). She says she is enchanted with them… so am I!

Cheers Sab!

How about that! While we struggle to make our Canadian businesses grow, Canada Post works hard to favour… American retailers! Boy was I surprised to find out about this Canada Post website to facilitate shopping in the US for Canadian citizens. It’s hard enough to compete with the Amazons of the world in regards to shipping fees, now Canada Post takes the carpet from under our feet, and rolls out the red one for Americans. After the special boxes at low prices for EBay, they open the door even wider for the cross border competition.

Let it be known that I have nothing against the free market, au contraire, but Canada Post is government owned, and should thus start by better serving local entrepreneurs before creating websites to promote buying in the US!

We received them last week. I happened to need a new handbag for this summer. Hum… I chose the white one. We also have a purple/plum model. They are really nice with their big flower attached to the shoulder strap…
