Tell me what you think?

My great uncle Mike took these photographs years ago. It is photomicroscopy, or photography through the microscope. He was a scientist and after he retired, he and my great aunt traveled around the US in an RV and sold his photographs at art shows. That was in the 1970's and maybe early 1980's. My aunt and uncle are long passed, but our family has this treasury of photographs that lives on. I have been trying to come up with ideas of what to do with them. Sell prints, note cards, license them out, etc. Tell me what you think and if you have any ideas of what we should do with them. I just smile every time I see them.

Lots of new things

So I have been totally out of commission the past few weeks. The start of the new school year and three kids in school and tons of activities have me running around a lot. But I did manage to print the first of of several new Mitzvah designs that I will be sending out to my dealers. Stay tuned for more!

Tofino is such a beautiful, rugged and natural place. We really felt like we were in one of the last untouched places on earth. Here are a few highlights of our stay here.

Butchart Gardens

Besides dragging my kids through Victoria today, I actually made them go to Butchart Gardens. It is not to be missed if you are in the area.

We went there at six in the evening walked around for a while and then stayed for the concert. My boys didn't disappoint though, they did manage to spend at least an hour wrestling on the grass.
