The Joe Fresh, toddler & kids line of children’s clothing, made in Bangladesh and found at Atlantic Superstores in Nova Scotia.

Several items of clothing caring the Joe Fresh brand were found earlier this week in the rubble of a collapsed garment manufacturing facility in the city of Dhaka, Bangladesh. Over 300 people have died and hundreds of others are missing.

I feel that companies in Canada have an ethical and moral obligation to ensure that workers are properly protected and properly paid, wherever they might be.

If you feel the same way, add this tag to your posts: #nomorejoefreshforme

It’s time that companies like Loblaw’s, Walmart and others changed their outsourcing practices.

It’s time we made them more accountable.

Much like a hungry, cranky bear, I feel as though the arrival of spring has awaken me from a winter long hibernation. Wide awake now, and ready to take some photographs, I want to share these beautiful chocolates I had the chance to shoot this week. They are by a local company called Cocoa and Honey. Keep an eye out this month for a new and improved website for Cocoa and Honey, currently in the works from Colleen Sweeney. On the weekends, you can find these lovely treats at the Halifax Historic Market, but they are also available at Local Source, P’Lovers and the Crafters Market. Oh yea, and the turtles are to die for!

I won’t miss the snow, but Elizabeth makes winter look beautiful and dreamy. Check out my younger sister’s blog of beautiful photographs of Cape Breton.
