You may have already gathered that Artistry Cards is a Canadian company. I mean, I used the word “toque”. Does anyone else in the world use that word? (It means winter hat in case you were wondering.)

The Friday Five: My Menagerie

Posted: February 18, 2011 | Author: Jordana | Filed under: Jordana | Tags: animals, collections, Jonathan Adler | 4 Comments

I recently realized that I have a growing collection of (fake) animals in my house. Right now it seems like everything I have comes in pairs…how very Noah’s Ark, right?

Lions

The Jonathan Adler lion was a congratulatory gift from my sister and brother-in-law. They gave it to me when I completed my Master’s. I have since purchased a matching mini JA lion ornament. My mom found the glass paperweight with the lion etching at a garage sale and she thoughtfully bought it for me (p.s. I’m a Leo).

Birds

I found the sweet little bird at a thrift store and just had to have it. I haven’t found the perfect spot for it yet though. I won the owl pitchers (or vases) over at Greige. They are happy on my bookshelf – near a pair of owl bookends. (Honestly, I can’t believe how my animal collection has grown!)

Elephants

I bought these pillows (one is an elephant and one is a giraffe) for my parents a while ago at Loblaw Superstore. They didn’t seem to like them as much as I did so the pillows soon became mine.

How about our White Cabana readers? What are your collections made up of?

The Saanen Goat: Memories of Switzerland

As the fall weather approaches, I can’t help but think of my summer days in Switzerland. In addition to the large amount of cows I saw, I had the opportunity to have a good close look at the white Saanen goat.

Maria the White Mare

A couple of weeks ago I had the opportunity to visit Con Brio Farm. It was a glorious morning filled with horses, dogs, and equestrian fashion. Although there were many lovely horses in the stables, I fell in love with Caroline’s beautiful white mare.
