Welcome to our new - & return - clients & subscribers!
A new year brings new projects and clients - many thanks to those who've entrusted us with telling their stories. We have several on the go and as always, it's a privilege and a pleasure.
New year, new publication date!
Remember we're trying something different in 2011 - changing our publishing date from the 1st of the month to the 11th of the month.
Not only is the 1st of the month a very busy time in our world, it is in many of our subscribers' schedules as well. With that in mind, we're trying something new.
Comments and story ideas are always welcome. As are enquiries about our services - email Jodie or Allan or call 902-766-4548!

"I wanted a hutch" says Elizabeth, "but wasn't quite sure how." Not only does her hutch look beautiful, it delivers added cupboard space and a lovely way to display favourite pieces.

Sea-houses.info - growth spurt!
| | Great year's end for realtor | |
 LIVERPOOL & BEYOND - Pam Winters, REALTORŪ, EXIT REALTY Inter Lake just had her best November and December yet!
"It's a combination of 'come from aways' finding jobs here, as well as locals buying 'up'," Pam notes.
"It's a great time to think about listing," she adds. "March is traditionally the month when online searches for properties spikes."
Service to long-distance clients is Pam's specialty. She wasn't born in Nova Scotia - she chose to move here.
"I understand that long distance moves can be traumatic," she says. "Whether it's finding a new vet or registering a vehicle from out of province, it's the little things that cause stress and can take the pleasure out of beginning life in a new place."

Charles Lantz Cabinetry & LuckyDuck

Colleagues since 1976!
 | LuckyDuck Photography
|
LUNENBURG - I consider myself one very lucky photographer! Since 2006, I've captured and presented 56 remarkable feature projects by Charles Lantz Cabinetry.
We've been working together on and off for over 30 years. In 1976, we met at Nova Pine, a busy plant outside Lunenburg. I worked out back dressing lumber and putting together panels for pine furniture.
Charles was in the front shop. "It was a good atmosphere to learn from craftsmen," he recalls. And learn is precisely what he did, "the easiest, the fastest and the best way."
We next worked together 20 years later. By then, he had his own company and I was in the middle of a 16-year stint as a reporter/photographer for the Bulletin. In 2006, we again joined forces, he heading CLC and I heading LuckyDuck Web Design & Photography. Since then, it's been a pleasure to chronicle and celebrate Charles' professionalism and fine craftsmanship. | |
Recently Charles sent us an email:
"Thank you for your concern and your great effort this past year of hard work for my company. Who knew that you and Allan would be such an asset to me and CLC."
