What's New

If you are reading this then you have stumbled upon our new site www.polarfeet.ca ! I think this is what you call a soft launch. We haven't told anyone yet--partly because we're still testing and tweaking--and partly because the slippers haven't arrived yet! But soon, very soon.

I'd also like to know what you think of the site--your comments are very welcome.

This morning I purchased polarfeet.ca for the Canadian side of our new website. Who knew that it would be such a thrill? Strange. But we are now so close to launching this site. I'm so excited.

Oh my...if you've never had big spot prawns fresh from the trap, tossed with a bit of olive oil and salt and pepper and thrown straight on the grill...well, I highly...

Finally, it seems that good weather is coming our way. And how wonderful that it is going to stick around for the long weekend! Everyone is rushing outside to celebrate the sun. Walking, biking, running--and finally--getting out into the garden. What special plans do you have for the long weekend? Visit us at http://www.facebook.com/polarfeet2 and share your long weekend fun ideas.   Polar Feet is donating Lumberjack Fleece Socks for a special media event in Toronto. In conjunction with Enviro Dad (envirodad.com), local media personalities will be creating gardens in their backyards with their kids. It's an Earth Day party--albeit a little...

  All you need for Mother's Day is a pair of soft fleece socks (gift.check!) and a nice place to go for brunch. Our family actually got organized in time to make a reservation at the lovely Van Dusen Gardens. No matter the weather (see gift, above) we will enjoy a leisurely stroll among all the fresh new spring sprouting things and then tuck in to a hearty breakfast. Ahhh.
