I also made a half hearted attempt to clean out the toaster oven but ran out of Easy Off Oven Cleaner. i can't scrub with vigor anymore as it kills my wrists.
This week's "win" at the silent auction is a W.H. Grindley dish in the Mersey pattern. Dated some where between 1891 and 1914 as per the marking on the back. I over paid at $20 but love the piece. Though because of the lead content I will have to be careful what I use it for.
I thought I'd share a couple more photos from Saturday's Home Show. The photo below shows some of the art work from a lovely lady called Margo from Bramblewood Studios in Muskoka. Her work is gorgeous and can be hung outside. Here is a link to her website which showcases some of her work.
I was fascinated with the next company and the work they do. I entered a draw to win the fountain below, and if you like the company on Facebook, you can win the fountain in a bucket which is directly above the fountain. The company is Atlas Landscape Inc and they are in Newmarket. They have lots of photos on their site.
The mushrooms were part of this water feature, which we were assured by one guy is super easy to do yourself..........

Wow, I didn't know ovens were that colour, I thought they were black with soot collected in the middle ( can you tell it's a job I hate!!!). I love the artwork x
Lovely Mersey dish - great find!
Chris made a pond and waterfall like the one in the picture at our last house, I loved it. Here, the raccoons would be in it.

Oh dear you just reminded me that I need to clean my oven as well. Not today though not today.
I hear what you mean with the elbow grease. Nice photos. Enjoy your week & thanks for catching up with me March Baby x
ok that's award winning sparkly!
Yay! Looks good Gill :)
Gill; does that oven cleaner have a harsh smell to it? I've just cleaned my oven a week ago, but I used a "fume free" oven cleaner (HA! what a lie that is!), I got a wicked headache that lasted for 2 days, and that was with our windows open allowing fresh air in..
I kept the light on in my oven for a few hours, cus it pleased me to see a shiny oven haha
Wow, I love everything you showed here...love your 'win', love the stuff at Bramblewood studios...love the fountains...
