Gone Scrappin' In Bloom

These girls were helping me close up at the store (i.e. Playing outside 😂) and so they needed cold drinks. Commencing some new Italian Soda concoctions. H's caramel apple one smells amazing and is surprisingly delish! #gsibcafe #shopgsib #mompreneur #italiansoda #girlsgirlsgirls #shopandcafe #countrystore #cafe #colddrinks #rossburn

I could not resist getting these for myself!! Brett just doesn't get it... 😂🦄💕 #imsuchanerd #rainbowbrite #jemandtheholograms #jem #shera #princessadora #80scartoons

So I read a book 📚 before summer! I picked the perfect book to accompany me to Hawaii 🌴. It had arrived in my @unicorncrate the day before we left. Read more than 1/2 on the plane ride there. It was so good and just couldn't put it down. Was very grateful I had the extra empty seat to spread out to read. Though Brett didn't have a very chatty traveling partner from Vancouver to Kona. 🙈 If you like twists on fairytales, this is an excellent different take on the Little Mermaid where the main character has a dark side. New author for me and I really enjoyed her writing. Wish the story continued. ❤️ #bookish #unicorncrate #tokillakingdom #alexandrachristo #bigislandhawaii #bookstagram #bookworm #booklover #latestread #goodreads #sirens #sirensong #fairytale

We made up a bunch of super cute little Spring arrangements for a client. Those summer frog vases were a unique find and will be great on patio tables. 🌼 #gsibblooms #shopgsib #rose #myeverydaymagic #myflowers #instaflower #igflowers #flowertalking #flowerlife #flowerlover #flowermagic #floweroftheday #flowermonday #flowerpower #florist #shopsmall #springflowers #flowersbringjoy #freshflowers

It feels like it's been that kind of a day! 😂🍨 #gelato #saltedcaramelicecream #icecreamfordinner

We are too excited to not share! We have an order coming of @saltwest salt blends & mineral salt bath soaks coming soon! These products are from a small artisan biz in BC. (Jessica grew up in Wpg). They harvest and handcraft Canadian Sea Salt from the west coast of Vancouver Island, BC to make small batch blends! Featuring certified organic and/or natural and local fresh ingredients. Choose from pure, flavour infused, earth & sea spice blends and natural smoked sea salts. The bath soaks will be great for Mother's Day and all the seasonings will be perfect for BBQ & lake life! We have quite an assortment coming and can't wait to do a sample night! ❤️ #seasalt #shopgsib #shopsmall #canadianmade #handmade #allnatural #foodie #staysalty #canadianseasalt #seasoning #spiceworld #cafestagram #shopandcafe #foodstagram #artisian #smallbatch #handharvested

That moment when baseball and hockey seasons collide (i.e. I mean overlap). 😂 #baseballseason #stillafewfeetofsnowoutside

The sun ☀️ is shining outside and in our flower cooler!

There seems to be so very few of us Scrapbook/Craft/Art Stores left, I wanted to create a global support base forum with other owners. Get to know each other, share ideas, vent about the joys of owning your own biz, etc all in a safe closed group. Owners who can completely relate on our everyday struggles to run and own a small business. Feel free to invite other "art/scrapbook/craft industry small store owners to join. Must have a physical store location. And all comments must be polite and supportive. No negative or hostile comments allowed. ❤️ Search on FB for Scrapbook & Craft Brick & Mortar Store Owners. If you can't find it, let me know. Let's work together globally to inspire and support one another. ❤️ #scrapbookstore #scrapbookstoreowner #supportbrickandmortar #craftstore #letsbuildeachotherup #supportsmallbusiness

My crazy goofballs! Getting ready to do some packing and move stuff home from the Ski Hill. 2 of my 4 family helpers. Never a dull moment in the Hunter House. 😂😜 #mompreneur #sundayfunday #mylittlehelpers #boxes

That's a wrap to our 2017-2018 Home Routes Season! Thank you Keri & Devin from @leafrapidsmusic Devin's fantastic bass playing and Keri's beautiful singing! She makes it look and sound so effortless. Plus she introduced us to the theremin. No touching required. Kids tried it out - made ghost sounds and more surprising was D knew what it was as he's seen it in videos used for sound effects. 😜 Now that we were home for a few minutes before concert time, I grabbed a jersey to wear tonight. #humboldtstrong. Next series will start in September!! ❤️ #leafrapidsmusic #homeroutes #houseconcert @homeroutes #homeroutes #livemusic #concertvenue #rossburn

Tues, April 10- Wed, April 11th. Up early on the 10th to pack up, check out, pick up souvenirs and kill the day until our flight left at 11pm. Last Hawaii sunset, last day of feet in the sands, Kona Coffee, Island food and more. 32 hours of being up and moving, we are back in MB. Exhausted, excited to see kids but missing Hawaii. We left a piece of our heart ❤️ there and can't wait to return. #getaway #bigisland #bigisland2018 #kelbretthawaiibound #vacationneeded #konahawaii #coast #vacation #iphone7plus #iphonephotography #hawaii #beach #localfoods #bigislandhawaii #aloha #hawaiistagram #playinginthesand #konaeats #konafood #beachfun #goodbyehawaii #ileftmyheartinhawaii #hawaiisunset #konabrewingco #leavingonajetplane #vacationisover #unedited #discoverhawaii #nofilterneeded #sunset

Late post: got behind with packing and late nights. Monday, April 9th Big Island Adventure. 2nd last day/last night here meant a day on the beach. We headed to one park for snorkeling, sea turtle visit and shaved ice. And the other park for swimming/body boarding. Supper at the Outback. #getaway #bigisland #bigisland2018 #kelbretthawaiibound #vacationneeded #konahawaii #coast #vacation #iphone7plus #iphonephotography #hawaii #beach #localfoods #localbrew #bigislandhawaii #aloha #hawaiistagram #konabrewingco #longboardlager #boogieboard #pooltime #playinginthesand #konaeats #konafood #seaturtle #greenseaturtle #beachfun #shavedice

Since Friday afternoon when we read the first news report that there had been an accident with a bus carrying the Humboldt Broncos Hockey Team. We could never have imagined. 💔 Every chance we have gotten we have been glued to news/social media for updates. Tears fall and our hearts break. We have all been players on a bus for sports, now we are coaches and parents of hockey kids that will be getting on buses too as they get older. With each update our heart has broken even more. We don't know these families but it is devastating as we think of all these young boys and families lives shattered. Nothing we can say will ever be enough. But our thoughts and prayers go out to all the survivors, families, friends, first responders and everyone who has been involved in this horrific tragedy. 💔 From a hockey mom. #prayforhumboldt

Part B of yesterday. @hawaiivolcanoesnps and she was performing all day! We picked the perfect day for this drive. 🌋 Enjoy! #getaway #bigisland #bigisland2018 #kelbretthawaiibound #vacationneeded #konahawaii #coast #vacation #iphone7plus #iphonephotography #hawaii #bigislandhawaii #aloha #hawaiistagram #volcanonationalpark #volcanos #crater #kiluea #pele #goddesspele
