LUX Reno - Beautiful products for your home

I was recently at a friends acreage, she just finished building her green home and it's beautiful.  I love the layout of the home and all the details,  I instantly fell in love with her stainless steel apron sink in her kitchen, with a slight curve in the front and the modern lines- it is gorgeous.  I found out she had ordered it online from a company in Vancouver, Lux Reno .  They have a great site, easy to use with tempting photos, and I've now heard from three people that have ordered from them - all of them had a positive experience.  If you're building a new home on Gabriola or thinking about doing some renovations, this might help you create your dream, oh and the prices aren't bad either!

It's picking time on the Island.

I was down to take a listing of a beautiful acreage on the weekend and while I was there I couldn't help but notice all the blackberries. The owner said I could come and pick blackberries, so I took my son,my dad and a few empty containers and headed over. The picking was great, there was lots of large berries, it was overcast and there weren't any wasps to speak of. We may have ended up with a few scratches, but nothing compared to the taste of our fresh sweet handpicked berries. I've frozen a few so that we can be reminded of the local summer harvests all year long. You'll find lots of blackberry bushes on the sides of the roads on Gabriola, or if you want your own patch you may just want to take a look at the acreage we just listed. Submitted by: Tina Lynch,
