I have been gone forever it seems from the blogging world. So much
has been happening here at the home of French Buttons...
Working and getting ready for my barn sale has been alot of work.
Another big change is we are moving.
So between purging for the sale and packing in between shifts at
work you can say it's been a little stressful around here!
I do hope everything flies out the door tomorrow because I don't wantto have to pack it all up!
This little barn is adorable too! Wish you all could attend my sale!
Even to just visit with me..
We are moving December 1st...yes the busiest time of the year!
Moving to another quaint little place in the next town "Cobble Hill"
isn't that the prettiest name??
Our time here at this old home has come to a close and I am ready to move
on....(it will be nice to live in a place with central heat again too!!)
Hopefully my blog will still be of interest to all of you even though there
will be no more photos of claw foot tubs or sleeping porches...
The Carriage house will be given my special touch to look enchanting
for the temporary time we shall be there. We are coming to a cross roads
in our lives here.... deciding whether to stay on the Island or move back
to my beloved Ontario.
"You can take the girl out of Ontario but you can never take Ontario out
of the girl!"
Wish me luck tomorrow.... I am so nervous!

Many of my family live in Cobble Hill, and Shawnigan Lake. It's very nice there, and my absolutely favorite store, Cobble Hill Fine Furnishings is there =) Good luck with the sale and the move!!
ReplyDeletePamela...so good to hear from you. I look forward to seeing your new home. I am quite certain that you will embrace it with your charm and share when you can.
ReplyDeleteI wish you a successful barn sale and dry weather for your move. I remember you telling us that you had to close part of your home last winter to conserve on heat!
I wish you the best, always!

Aw sweetie - if I wasn't so sick (with a cold) I'd drive up-Island for your barn sale! I'd bring a big ole' truck too... I really like that white wicker bedside table - are there 2? Good luck with your sale and your move to Cobble Hill too.
ReplyDeleteI have moved so many times, and yes it can be stressful, but you know, it is an adventure! Life can be so exciting, and it really is what you make it, so I will be wishing you all good things as you move to Cobble Hill!
ReplyDeletePamela, I hope you sell out at the sale so you don't have to pack as much. I hope the move goes well and that you love your new town. Good luck with it all.
ReplyDeleteOh, you are leaving this pretty home! Can't wait to see your new place. You are busy busy. Good luck with the sale!
ReplyDeleteDear Pamela, you have a busy month ahead! I moved in May and spent the entire month of April purging and packing ad nauseum. I know your new home will be lovely and we are all eagerly waiting to see it.
ReplyDeleteGood luck iwht your sale. If I were there, I'd want every single thing!
Hugs,

Oh my goodness you have so much on your plate...the best of luck with everything my friend. Don't be nervous. Your barn looks lovely. We will follow you to where ever you call home. You know that home is where your heart is...
ReplyDeleteOh good luck, sweet Pammie! You can do this. I know that you must be anxious to move, too. I hope it is better for you there and that you come to love the place. My heart aches when I hear you say HOME to Ontario...because I have a feeling that is where you BELONG..that it is calling you back. I hope your choose wisely at the crossroads and don't look back with regret. I've missed you- xo Diana
ReplyDeleteOh Pamela, it's now noon, and I wish I could be at your sale right now! I would buy those 3 iron thingies in the 2nd photo to put in my garden courtyard. I hope everything is going well. I'm sure you will have fun decorating a new place too! Oh, and for selfish reasons I hope you stay on the northwest side of our world. :-) fingers crossed!
ReplyDeletegood luck with everything Pam. I couldn't imagine leaving Ontario, even if BC is so beautiful. It just wouldn't feel like home, and I guess I'm just not that adventurous.
ReplyDeleteHope you sell every last item in your sale today! I'll be excited to see photos of the new place, even though it's not back East (yet). I've missed you!
ReplyDeleteHi sweet Pamela...I hope you sale is a huge success. It does sound like your life is certainly changing....you know what they say "when one door closes.....another always opens."
ReplyDeleteTake care of yourself,
Jo
Nice to see you blogging again! Hope the sale goes well. I'm sure it well. And good luck on your move!
ReplyDeleteI'm sure your sale will be successful!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the move and am looking forward to see how you feather your new nest!
I would love to attend your sale, Pamela! You have some amazing treasures! Wishing you the best of luck not only with the sale, but your move, too! I can so relate to what you said about home. We are moving back to MI next spring, so we will be having a hage moving sale then, too! Keep us posted on your new home, and how things are going!!
ReplyDeleteI hope your sale yesterday went well Pamela. You have such lovely items.
ReplyDeleteMoving isn't much fun, but Cobble Hill is a pretty place. I hope you enjoy it there.
Good luck! Im sure you sold alot of wonderful stuff, looks so charming and beautiful! Come on back to Ontario! :D Id love a creative neigbour!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
AAAAGGGH! How did the sale go? Those chairs are not still there I bet!
ReplyDeleteWell Pam what is the next chapter of your life going to hold?
So excited to follow you as you move on....and of course we will all be here when you are free to chat!
Talk soon Colleen
Oh, moving can be such a tiring thing to do. We moved from Northern California to Southern California about a year ago. I'm not sure where we will end up, so I know what you mean. Somehow we always have a special place in our hearts for the place we grew up at. I wish you luck with your move and don't worry...I'll be here when you return. Your blog makes me smile so.

I stumbled across you garage sale. I would say it was the prettiest garage sale ever. I found wonderful green chairs, two sweet little wooden children's chairs for my granddaughter, and some lovely linens. While you are letting go of things to facilitate an easier move, I am now incorporating them into my newly renovated empty home. I have just moved from 1200 miles away.
ReplyDeleteMoving is stressful, but when the move is accomplished, it is so much fun to start decorating again. Good luck to you with your move.

ReplyDeleteWish I could be there with you!
ReplyDeleteYou will do wonderfully!
Oh you are my Ontario girlfriend! :)
I'd follow you anywhere!!!

Hi Pamela, good luck on the barn sale. And congratulations on the upcoming move. I wish you all the best. It will be fun to decorate again, and of course we will still be interested, it will be a fun journey.
ReplyDeleteHey, how did the rest of the afternoon go?
ReplyDeleteI am wishing you all the luck in the world! I'm sure it will a huge success, you have some really sweet stuff to sell. I also wish you all the best in moving and in your decision to stay in BC or move back to Ontario...big decision!
ReplyDeleteLove and hugs, Cindy
Hello Pamela,
ReplyDeleteI have moved too many times myself and I don't envy you the moving part. A new home however, is always exciting. It's fun decorating and making it your own. I love the red toile chairs in your photos; so gorgeous! Take care and have a delightful day.
Blessings from the other Island,
Sandi
Love your barn, and so wish I were close to attend! I'm not big on moving...will be staying tuned!
ReplyDeleteBlessings,
Cindy
