Studio Stories 🧑🎨 & Other News
Do you love art as much as we do?

Where are the best Holiday Markets? 🎁
As the weather gets chilly, we are looking forward to the many local holiday markets. Scroll down to read our annual list of the best markets in the area.
Things to do in November 🎨🎭🎁
We've had an unseasonably warm start to November! The local real estate market has also been unseasonably robust - is it the lower interest rates or the warmer days?
What do you leaves & interest rates have in common? 🍂💵
We are in the peak weeks of fall colours! We love showing homes in the countryside when the leaves are so spectacular. Last week, Lorna took a quick trip to the County to take it all in. What's your fav fall weekend drive?
What's the interest rate sweet spot? 🏦
We hope you have a great Thanksgiving! We are still recovering from a turkey coma!
If you are out and about this weekend, stop in at Fall In Love With Bath. Check out the local businesses and enter to win a fantastic prize basket!

Congratulations to our buyers! After a bit of a journey, we finally found the home that "ticks all the boxes" - it even has a swing set and a trampoline! It's such a privilege to help someone you have known since she was 14, and a couple whose wedding you danced at, find the perfect home for their adorable family.
