The Blue Jays have returned for peanuts and sunflower seeds. Our grandkids love to see them each spring and enjoy setting out some peanuts in the shell for them. This one in stained glass measures about 9.5 inches wide x 6 inches high.

We are sure lots of folks across the west have seen and heard the return of the Canada Geese. A wonderful sight and their distinctive honking sounds, you know that warmer weather is not far off.
It’s springtime in Alberta and for the past month or so Canada Geese have been returning by the thousands. They stay and nest all over Alberta and it will not be long before we see goslings with their parents.
However you can enjoy them year round with one of these sun catchers.

There is a sign post and a couple of homes north west of Hanna Alberta, where Scapa used to be. The elevator is long gone and so are the residents save for those homes mentioned above. You need to drive a gravel road to see the Scapa sign. We made this for a friend many years ago. We have since managed to obtain the original United Grain Growers Emblem which we now use on UGG Elevators.
Over the years we have made grain elevators and using special letters we have put names and places on them at the request of our clients.
This one is the Saskatchewan Wheat Pool Elevator at Mozart.
A wonderful client of ours brought this broken tiger lily to us to repair. She had been given this many years ago and was special to her. The tiger lily had been dropped and needed not only new glass but a total rebuild.
Here it is before we repaired it.
