The Friday Five: Giving Thanks

It’s Thanksgiving weekend here in Canada so I thought it appropriate to make a list of five things I’m thankful for this year (besides health, family, friends,  work, and the food in my fridge):

1. My black Hunters. They keep me and my feet happy.

2. My 1/2 marathon medal. Ah – the sweet precious medal.

3. My MacBook. I had no idea I would love it this much!

Mac keys light up for action.

4. My sewing machine. I got it for Christmas last year and adore it. I just wish I had more time for all the sewing projects I have in mind!

My Singer is a mighty fine machine!

5. My new 2011 agenda book (from Paris!). It has a list of text talk acronyms which is going to help me stay in-the-know.

Ready to text

Wishing all you Canadian readers a very Happy Thanksgiving! And wishing all White Cabana readers a very happy weekend!

A Good Boy

This White Poodle is really good at sit & stay. $139 at Urban Barn

Need a little company in your condo? How about “man’s best friend”, but not just any canine- an elegantly coiffed white poodle (made of white poly resin) sitting patiently at your knee. With a generally blank but friendly face, this silent companion is already fed, walked and requires little obedience training.

We also really like our furry friend standing up ready to chase a ball. Not to worry: you don’t even need to lift a finger. As long as you don’t mind being the one doing the fetching.

Good boy, Fifi!

The Standing Poodle will wait for you. $149 at Urban Barn
