  3. Que ces beaux les îles! C'est là que mon grand-père est né. Il habitait Hâvre-aux-maisons et y pêchait le homard...

  4. Thank you Nicole Elizabeth and Pip for your comments. Nicole Elizabeth, same here. We have been getting lots of rain and little snow, but enjoying any and every little patch we can find!

    Bonjour Catherine, merci de votre commentaire. Je vous encourage à venir visiter les Iles, surtout vu votre histoire familiale...

  5. This was so nice to see, thank you. I grew up living beside the ocean and miss it so very much!
    I am wondering if you made your loom?
    Fort building is always fun in winter!

  6. Hi Renee, the loom was a gift from my Mum. She bought it on a trip to the US. It is made of wood and is called the Colonial Loom. It is made by Historical Folk Toys. Hope that answers your question!
