Beautiful Sperry House




This beautiful house is located in Petite Riviere Nova Scotia . It had remained in the Sperry family for over one hundred years until 2010 after being sold to long time friends of ours. My husband and i have the great honor of caring for this grand old place. It is being run as a summer rental home at the present. A local team look after booking rentals Cottage Connections . You can find infomation at Stayinnovascotia.ca

 I love to take old and make it new again . The little red cupboard use to be a kitchen drawer .

Now that spring has arrived we are very busy around here getting things ready for summer . The beautiful Sperry House awaits the return of summer guests. The gardens are starting to fill out and soon will be filled with colour.
Years ago i worked as a nurse assistant in a home for the aged and i remember a little lady that use to sing the hymen  "a church in the wild wood" Although i cant remember her name i will always remember her song.

Sandra's Country Treasures


I have recently taken a space at Sandra's Country Treasures in Berwick Nova Scotia and i am really enjoying it . I am able to use my creativity and use up a lot of old stuff that i have collected over the years and turn it all into one of a kind pieces . Here are a couple pieces that i have finished in the last week . I am having fun and fun is a good thing.
