 On the Move: Family

  

Latest Road Trip: Toronto Ontario

 

ari and mom at gradYes, just returned from what was a family focused trip...that which was originally intended to attend the ceremony for my freshly minted University graduate in London Ontario, BUT .... between last exams end April and mid June graduation..from Maine I might add...she landed a job, which she started 3 days after her formal ceremony...and thus said trip grew into a setting her up in Toronto kind of trip, with graduation smack dab in the middle.

 

If interested, you can read about the Launching of Arianna, here, and about my involvement with the Fundraising Golf Tournament for work in Haiti,here, which I was able to participate in as well on self same trip.

So, one moved to Toronto, with a "real job"...unlike her mother who went to Haiti as a volunteer post grad, stayed home raising 3 kids/had her own businesses  (2)...yes, a little tongue in cheek :).... the 2nd in New York this summer...working an oh so boring (not) job, with the marketing team of FRYE boots as they set up to open their flagship store in SOHO/NYC this summer. If you love FRYE boots, they would love you to fan them on Facebook...of course....

 On The Move: Furniture 

  

raz 4 art deco blueYes, it's "that time" again...a container full of personally selected items, are on their way

raz 37 4 panel screen

from China as we speak.

 

As per usual, you can preview the entire selection by going to this FOTKI link, which is also displayed on my Home page.

 

Shopping has begun/deposits being taken. Join in on the fun and see what pieces(s) I may have for you/your client/your store. Expected to land in our NC warehouse early August, at the outset. 

 

Just loving these new additions and hope you do as well.

 

 On The Move: Me

kia mileage The fact that pretty much in every newsletter I share with you where I've been and why, would incite a probable response... "is this really news? Where to this time? Well, it's time to cut down on Ruth's road time...doesn't mean I won't be travelling, just cutting down on the miles to get from here to there....and move forward.

 

fall on the farm 301 Peacock Hill Rd, in New Gloucester Maine, has been our home for almost 12 years...yes,..".that place where your story begins", as the plaques says that my daughter Avery gave me one Christmas...and now time for the story to carry on somewhere else so another family can enjoy this little bit of paradise we have been so grateful to have called our home.

 

 The house, and adjoining 60 acres aren't on the Market yet, butfall driveway will be within the month...but suffice it to say, for anyone looking for a slice of paradise, 35 minutes North of Portland, this could do you just fine... will work on pulling together some photos to share....
