Today I came across this article that shows BC is leading the way to real estate recovery in Canada. It’s short, sweet, and to the point. See full details via the link below.

World War I: This poem was written by Lieutenant Colonel John McCrae, MD, on May 3, 1915, the day after his close friend was killed by a German shell. He was sitting at the back of an ambulance near the Yser Canal, just a few hundred yards north of Ypres. The poem describes the scene around him.

I received an email this week from Steve Seltzer of the Canadian College of Performing Arts.

The college is less than two weeks away from the performance of “Rabbit Hole” by Company C (as we’ve mentioned previously). They are also a month away from the Sneak Preview of Company C’s final show!

Company C’s final show will be “Little Shop of Horrors.” What’s a sneak preview?

A sneak preview is an opportunity for the community to sample an upcoming performance and speak with the directors and performers at the College’s home in Oak Bay. This year, Investors Group is sponsoring the previews and the College would like to fill the performance hall. That means that they will be launching a massive flier campaign throughout Oak Bay and in parts of downtown Victoria.

If you are interested in coming to the Sneak Preview, please let Steve know at (250) 595-9970. It will be held December 3 at 10:30am.

With Appreciation,

Marilyn

First impressions are irreplaceable. Fresh flowers can  set the tone for the staging of a home. Using fresh flowers as a decorative accent in cold weather not only provides subtle fragrance, but completes the “atmosphere” of your living space.

“Each room in your home can be enhanced by a floral arrangement that reflects either the décor or colour scheme. Certain flowers lend themselves to particular areas. Roses and Lisianthus lend a romantic touch to the bedrooms. Exuberant Gerberas and Sunflowers will lift your loungeroom. Elegant Iris and Lillium work well in the dining room.” – MarketFresh

No matter what flowers you choose, the deepest symbolic meaning of flowers is that you care.  In fact, in modern times many people completely ignore the traditional symbolic meaning of flowers and simply choose flowers that they find beautiful and put them into unique arrangements. A little bit of “TLC” goes a long way — so give your home the extra effort — it will be well worth your time and energy.

Warm Regards,
