Spring Treats
Cruising through the Ontario snow and sleet, accompanied by my Mom as we giggle and sing along with the Elvis Station on XM Satellite radio, peddling my sparkly wares to the funkiest little shops and stopping in to say hi to friends and family… That’s how I spent the month of January.
