One of our first purchases that my wife and I made was a set of four kitchen chairs to go around an antique table that her aunt had restored and given to us as a house warming gift. That was over thirty years ago and although the maple ladder chairs have now low luster sheen from their years of wear, the seats, of woven rush have deteriorated.
Two boys, countless spilled glasses of milk, cups of coffee, years of dropped food, have turned the golden brown colour of rush to a filthy grayish black. The seats were covered with seat cushions that restored a soft mound to sit on.

With the new session of parliament in full swing I’d like to give an update on Bill C-501 which is still making its way through the legislative cycle. There have been some recent developments in regard to the bill and the way forward has become clearer in recent days.

A recent study conducted in both the United States and in Europe has come to the conclusion that we have too many choices in our lives. In both Europe and the States, the testing group gave shoppers a choice of 30 jams to sample and then watched to see how that affected the purchase of that particular brand of jams. There was really no change in jam purchases.
