Life style - Dressing Tips

This website is gives some enlightening tips on dressing, that one might feels are obvious, but easy to forget. It feels more appropriate for office attire, but still an interesting read.

We love this tip: when wearing a tie, the tip 'should reach your waist and cross it a little'. And don't forgot to ensure your socks are long enough not to show flesh when sitting. Lots of great ideas!

Local Art - Blue Mountain Pottery

Blue Mountain Pottery was a local company, now closed, but the works are very well known throughout Canada. The celebrated design features a familiar glaze, using light and dark colours, most famously green but also in reds, browns and yellow hues. There is now a collectors club ( see link below) and we almost always have a few pieces in store. Here are some of our lovely works currently on display! Here's a great link! http://www.bmpcc.com/

Local Adventures: Carly Patterson Trail

Carly Patterson trail is an approximately 11 km loop that meanders throughout the west end of Wasaga Beach. Never straying too far into the wilderness, this trail is perfect for almost all walking/ hiking abilities. There are countless entry points along the trail and it's very well maintained after storm damage. The deep snow we are currently experiencing makes it harder with the double stroller, but with snow shoes, you could enjoy a delightful hike through the woods. Here's a video of our running convoy ( pup and stroller included) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xz_DX0SUEjo And some further links about the trail! http://staging.waymarking.com/waymarks/WMKJ6C_Carly_Patterson_Memorial_Trail_Wildwood_Drive_Access_Point http://wasagabeachtourism.com/wasagabeach/media/Documents/Maps/WB-Trails-eMap.pdf

Art: Artist focus - Murray Clerkson

We have a fantastic selection of artworks in Black Pearl Emporium. From oils to water-colours, prints and sculpture, we enjoy art and love it passing through our store. This summer, we happened upon these two stunning works from the local art hero, Murray Clerkson. Clerkson was a prolific artist as well as life long advocate for artists and the art community. He ran a furniture store and was an active supporter of the Blue Mountain Foundation for the Arts in Collingwood. As part of his legacy, an annual award is offered to an outstanding, up and coming local artist from the area. His works are expressive, rich in colour and evocative of the local environment we live in. A lucky find for someone familiar with the artist or who merely enjoys this fabulous work. One sold in our recent online auction but one remains in store. Here's a link to the Murray Clerkson award http://www.bmfa.on.ca/clerksonaward.php
