i scream

another super cute thing happened yesterday. a young woman was passing by the shop, licking a strawberry ice-cream cone. she excitedly walked in and with her french accent asked me 'could i take a picture of your little table and chairs outside? they are so cute'. i told her of course she could and she stood outside absolutely enthralled in capturing the empty seats.
she thanked me, and walked away. i walked outside a few minutes later and noticed something funny on the sidewalk--a puddle of pink. she had been so wrapped up in her photo she had dripped her ice-cream all over the sidewalk. i giggled.

ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS

yesterday a nice boy came in as i was listening to cocorosie (who have a great new track posted on that link). he told me he'd seen them live in new york once playing with antony and the johnsons, whom he highly recommended. we discussed the link between cocorosie and bruce labruce, as well as antony and the johnsons' link to candy darling. i listened to a few of the tracks this nice boy recommended , and fell in love! [with the music--and a little bit with the boy]

here's a song for you to download
ANTONY AND THE JOHNSONS: you are my sister

mail love

we got a special package in the mail! from miss shannon snow! our pretty friend in toronto.


" i really love ampersand, but worried that maybe, being a smaller and just -starting sort of business, you were lacking in hats. so i saw these on sale and figured i'd spend them your way. i now expect a full photo shoo, FYI. much love, to my peeps. xoxoxoxo <-- raunchy!

there is a 'cock soup' mix! we may start serving it..

Hi!

This is my first post  and I'm kind of excited!

Some of the Ampersand folk went to Halifax a couple weeks ago and I have pictures!

Me and Michael went up separately  and met up with everyone else. 

Michael was an awesome driver!

Before we got on the bridge and after McDonalds We stopped of at Fabricville for some fabric.

After the bridge we stopped to hang out and play with fabric!

I took a picture too.

PIT STOP. 

by that I mean we were so low on gas we had to get some.

Michael had a cigarette while I took pictures.

We got into Halifax, met up with everybody and did some stuff.

The next day for breakfast we went to a cafe place and ate lunch in a grassy area.

Then we shopped and parted ways. Me, Michael and Matthew in one car and everyone else packed into a minivan. 

We stopped of in Truro we were made some friends.

We went to Murphy Fish and Chips were we phoned the others to see what was up.

They were in Truro as well so we all had supper together!

Murphys was in this plaza

This was across the street. I took it as we were loading up the cars.

We ended up taking all the kids with us and the older folk went in the minivan.

We all met up in Port Elgin where we had a picnic of hummus, bread, pickles and Baby Bell cheese. 

After supper we had foot races, wheelbarrow races, piggy back races and just fooled around 

Here's another picture I took,

Then we packed up went home and enjoy the rest of our night.

The end.

beeep!

hiiii ! friends.

i have been ignoring our dear blog lately--i'm sorry!

a re-cap of the past bit would go like this:

natasha has her painting upstairs for the next few days--they're great. she had her opening the same night as our circus party, which was so much fun! everyone did great jobs with their costumes, and the shop was transformed into a discotheque-extraordinaire. natasha did body painting, it was magical.

coming up in our lives: bryce elsley's exhibit is this friday! @ 6 o'clock.
we're hosting a show this saturday as a part of matt dixon's three day music fest of awesome. 2-5. a record swap on sunday, also with matt's HFF fest.

come stop in, we love to see you. xo
