Welcome to our new - & return - clients & subscribers!
"They" assure us of a fine weekend, so once again, we're sending this out a day early - hope to catch a few readers early Friday!
It's been a fine month - we have two new websites from two remarkable projects. Plus more on the go! We love telling your stories, and are grateful for the opportunity.
Isn't it wonderful to see the sun shining and a boost in "sold" signs on homes?
I hope, wherever you are, you can say the same.
Elder-zone, our online magazine, is enjoying good visitor numbers - many thanks to the wonderful team of contributors!
Comments and story ideas are always welcome.

They worked at H.W. Brady's for 27 years before building their own shop and equipment. The Robars launched their business in 1979.
Expansion has more than tripled the size of the original facility. The manufacturing process has been updated and modernized over the years, yet the core concept remains the same.

Workmanship & functionality!
SOUTH SHORE - Gail & Mike are delighted with their new CLC country kitchen.
Mike is particularly impressed with the degree of workmanship and functionality. Especially considering the 11.5 x 13 foot kitchen is home to four doors and a large fridge." It was a big challenge," he says. "It has been a pleasure to deal with [CLC] and we are very pleased with the results."
"They were so careful with the install," adds Gail. On the last day Trevor brought a small bottle of paint and a tiny brush to cover any marks. "Such attention to detail . . . we are very happy to be back in Nova Scotia."

Website looking dated? Time for a redesign!
EVERYWHERE - Allan came across this Mark Evans' story while reading the online Globe and Mail.
Evans notes as the Web increasingly becomes the way consumers get information about products and services, more companies are realizing their websites need to be well-designed, have clear messaging and meet expectations - whether it's to deliver information or sell . . .
Mark Evans is a principal with ME Consulting, a content and social media strategic and tactical consultancy. He was a technology reporter for more than a decade with The Globe and Mail, Bloomberg News and the Financial Post. Mark is also one of the co-organizers of the mesh, meshUniversity and meshmarketing conferences

| Black Duck Gallery - new show June 12 | |
Saving beauty
 LUNENBURG - Black Duck presents Sybilann Benitz on Sunday, June 12 at noon and running to Friday, July 15th.
Sybilann was trained formally in England at the Yeovil School of Art in Somerset and London University. She has painted constantly throughout careers in art education, interior design and the antique business. Travels provided involvement in small art communities in Mexico, Spain, Costa Rica and Argentina.
Today she lives in Mahone Bay, surrounded by close views of the sea, boats and, as yet, unspoiled countryside. Her passion for depiction is constant, in oil, acrylic and watercolour. The result is,
classic in foundation, but impressionistic and elegant in its effect.
"Our way of life here on the South Shore is fragile," says Sybilann. "This coastline is vulnerable to exploitation. We become protective of that which draws us here. I intend to keep saving beauty wherever I go, and to share it with you for as long as I am able."

Steven Lacey - "old-school" graphic artist
 | The British Museum entrance in London. My wife and I were there last July, it was an incredible trip. The museum was an amazing place; just the architecture alone is a jaw dropper. - Steven Lacey
