Closed for the Season

Bill and I have no delusions of grandeur. We operate a tiny tart shop in a little town within a small town. To quote RUSH (because any time I also speak for Bill I have to quote RUSH) “We’re nobody’s heroes.” We bake. No biggy wiggy, boo boo. But then you come through the door or reach out here online and make us feel like what we do here really matters. We’re hardly essential but you sure make us feel that we are and what an amazing and humbling feeling that is.

So, after our thirteenth season here’s how we see it; The Little Tart has become about more than just tarts and treats. All of us together have created this special place of happiness, joy, love, laughter, acceptance, celebration and togetherness. It’s everything Bill and I ever hoped this tiny shop would become and so much more. There’s no magic formula, we’re all just making it up as we go along. That’s what makes it so wonderful.

Many folks have been asking about a winter opening. It’s early days yet but we are hoping to have one again this year. I’ll keep you posted.

And so here we are, once again, at the end of our season. It has been our pleasure and privilege to bake for you again this year and we’re so happy (and very relieved) to say we’ll do this all over again next year.

It is with love and our deepest appreciation and gratitude that Bill and I thank you for your unwavering support, your kindness, your generosity, for your patience, tolerance and understanding and for trusting us as we navigated our way through these past two years.

So long for now, my friends. We love you and we’ll miss you so please be safe and healthy so we get to see you again! ❤

Booty Call Doodle part 2

 


Wow! It's October! When did that happen?

You know, I just love dragonflies. They are one of my favourite summer critters. (And not just because I know how to draw them in chocolate.) The arrival of dragonflies signals the commencement of the summer season, the end of itty bitty bitey buggy-boos; Nature's pest control and they're just so darned pretty to 

So this morning - as I prepare to doodle onto the Booty Call tarts - like, totally ready to create something awesomely autumn inspired - I said to myself, "Self?"

"Yes, self," I replied.

"Dragonflies are magnificent little creatures, are they not?" myself said.

"Why," I replied, "They are indeed quite magnificent."

"And they are a quintessential summer emblem," myself added.

"Are you saying what I think you're saying?" I asked. And we both laughed because we both knew what the other was thinking." (twitch)

So... this weekend, we (twitch) - I mean - I decided to pay tribute to our friend, our ally against the itty bitty bitey buggy- boos and a true summer emblem by drawing them one more time onto our Booty Call tarts!

And this decision (twitch) had nothing to do with my failed attempt at a turkey. (Yes, that's a broken Booty Call. No my sad drawing didn't break it. My clumsy fingers did.)

Anyhoo, don't let the weather get you down, have a wonderful day and a fantabulous weekend!

Fully Booked for Thanksgiving

 


Good evening!

We are just finishing up prep for the day and have received our final order. We are now fully booked for Thanksgiving and cannot take any more orders.

We're sorry if you missed your chance this year. We will be adding Friday and stocking the store Thanksgiving weekend so while you may not have scored a pumkin pie, you can still get some treats.

In the meantime we still have this weekend coming up! The colours are promising to be stunning. Bill and I had to run some errands yesterday and Nature is painting a stunning masterpiece! 

We hope you're having a fabulous week!

Booty Call Doodle


'kayso, now that Autumn has arrived in all her splendour, painting the foliage with her amber and crimson palette, I decided it was time to decorate our Booty Call tarts with something other than dragon flies; something a little more... seasonal. If seasonal didn't work then something - anything but dragonflies. 

Don't get me wrong, I love dragonflies. They are our saviours from blackflies. I'm so happy when they arrive and I'm sad to see them go but after drawing them all summer I'm ready for a new challenge!

As you can see, I tried everything from coffee cups to flowers, leaves to simply writing "booty". Some doodles were completely self indulgent just becauses.

Fun? Yes. Pretty? Consistent? Narp. And if the doodle can't be pretty and consistent, it's not going on the Booty Call so today... dragonflies it is!




I'll try again next weekend.


Have a splendid Sunday!

It's Wind, Man


Nature sneezes autumn breezes

The sun teases while leaves drift to the ground

More time in the dark than the light

Rainy days and crisp cool nights

Why can't the weather man ever get it right?

Sunglasses or umbrella?

Give it to me straight fella!

Confusion and disillusion

You're messing with my weekend plan

He says, "Give me a break, it's not a mistake..."

... it's wind, man.


Right now the sun is shining here and we hope it's shining there... wherever there is. Have a wonderful weekend!
