To Serve and Protect...Our Wines

Truely One of a Kind Weekend...

Hope all you had a good weekend. Amanda and my weekend was truly One of a Kind. As mentioned before, we'd finally hung up our Michelle Rose painting (a full year later) and today we've hung up our newly acquired Andrew King's "lemieux's lament".
But our fruitful weekend didn't end there. We'd found ourselves a 60's Telefunken phonograph stereo console to start birth of what will become our lounge room. The record player and surface will need some restoring but the sound and tuner is incredible, listening to Sinatra and Crosby right now and feels like we've gone back in time.
Further more, we've found our new sommelier and he's green. Made of recycled materials, our new wine opener is totally green, balding and cool. We even found a Boy and a Girl bottle stopper from Germany to accompany him when we enjoy our wines. Enjoy the new pics.

One of a Kind Gain...

Just came back from the One of a Kind show. If you remember, last year Amanda and I finally acquired one of Michelle Rose's great works. Michelle Rose has been an artist that we'd admired since our introduction to her work 5 years ago.
This year we were lucky enough to be introduced to another extremely talented artist, Andrew King. Amanda and I stood at his booth wondering what void would take over us if we don't purchase a piece from him. We thought long and hard to figure out how we can possibly choose, they're all simply amazing. We finally came to a decision to pick up "lemieux's lament". We will be hanging it up tomorrow. For the time being, I've snatched the image from his website.

 p.s. stay tuned, tomorrow I'll be posting pictures of Michelle's and Andrew's paintings hung up in our home

Windfield Grass... (retro blog Nov 7th)

On the rich soils of Windfield Farms, many prestigious race horses have trot.
Steeds have been bred for years to become winners.
And on November 7th, grass was laid on our property where the memories and prestige of these horses will forever live.

Amanda excitedly inspects the freshly laid grass.

The future home of our back patio complete with kitchen.

Who needs Alarmforce when Tatlim is around?!

Windfield Tree... (retro blog October 23rd)

Guess what? WE HAVE A TREE!!! This is how it went down:
- I wake up
- Amanda has already woken up before me so I decide to get up as well
- I'm in my bathroom brushing my teeth and a scream breaks the silence of the morning
- I rush downstairs to see what's going on
- Amanda is at the front bay window screaming "We're getting a tree, we're getting a tree"
- I run into the other room to grab my Nikon D90
- The rest, is what they call photography history

Settling In... (retro blog October 10th)

It's been a while but Amanda and I have just been fully occupied with getting the house to A&E (Amanda and Elson) standard. But finally, I am happy to say that we are excitedly settling into the new house and have had a few moments to relax to enjoy our weekends. Although it'll continue to be a working progress to get it exactly the way we picture it, it's now gotten to the stage where we can be comfortable and proud to have people over. I know it's been a while since I'd posted any pictures but here they are! I'll follow with a few more posts...
