A run in with the law!
Here's a fact for you: Liv loves mounties. In particular, tall handsome mounties in their red garb. They're intimidating, but fabulous.

Goodies for the Captains!
This weekend we'll be visited by not one, but two cruise ships! We like it when the cruise ships come in. It means we have lots of new people to chat to. And we like looking at the boats!
A few posts back you may remember that we were making espresso cups for goody bags for the Writers at Woody Point crowd. And we're making treats for the cruise ship captains. Woody Point loves a good goody bag it seems!
This time around we've been entrusted with making the bags themselves. Pressure! However, we've stepped up to the task and felted lovely bags for the captains of both ships. The welcome committee will fill them with lots of lovely prezzies and hopefully the captains will really enjoy them!
We'll try posting a photo once the gremlin leaves the electrics and we can get Jenn's phone working!

Woody Point
We just realised that throughout our entire blogging history we haven't actually said anything about our town! We know that there's lots of people who check the blog from lots of different countries and we thought you might like to hear more about it!
We're located in Woody Point, which is in Gros Morne National Park on the west coast of Newfoundland. Gros Morne is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, because it's so beautiful and also because of our unique geological features.
Here's a photo of the town from the water
We like it here a lot. It's a small place with an awesome community. There's lots of people here who's families have lived in town for generations. Jenn is a 5th generation Woody Pointer. Her Pop on one side owned the Studio back when it was a fishing shed. And her Grandparents on her Mother's side owned the Roberts House, which is open to the public as a heritage property. She's adamant that the sewing machine in there belongs to her, so when you visit don't covet it too closely!
We also have a pretty famous lighthouse. Here's a photo
There are lots of fun events that go on here in the summer. We've blogged about some of them, but here's more stuff you could check out!
Writers at Woody Point is incredible. It's our favourite time of year, we like it even more than our birthdays, which makes it a pretty big deal in our book. Here's their website http://writersatwoodypoint.com/
Bonne Bay regatta takes place in July every year. And it's fun every year. Some of you may remember that us Galliott Studios girls are the reigning champions in the women's dory race. Feel free to come and challenge us next year, we'll be staunchly defending our title! More details on the town website http://woodypoint.ca/
It's not technically in Woody Point, but Trails Tales and Tunes festival takes place in Norris Point, which is just across the bay. Here's their website http://www.trailstalestunes.ca/ It's pretty easy to get to Norris Point. There's a water taxi, or you can take your boat over. Here's Liv driving over!
Gros Morne Summer Music makes us happy. They bring over incredible musicians from all over the world, and this year did an amazing radio style play of Sherlock Holmes. Here's their website http://gmsm.ca/
There's loads more information about the goings on in the park here http://visitgrosmorne.com/
There are lots of other, impromptu events that take place, so whenever you visit there'll be something great to see and do.
Woody Point is easily our favourite place in the world. And we're reasonably well travelled ladies. We think you should come visit. Hopefully we'll get to see some of you, we'd like it if you told us you found us on our blog!

A wonderful way to get here!
Every time we get chatting to people we like to ask where they're from and if they're on holiday. We always hope for an interesting tale. And the other day we heard a truly fantastic story!
Our friend Will was talking to a lovely couple from Brooklyn, New York. When asked if they were on holiday they told him this:
One day they moved apartment. On the fridge of their new apartment was a photograph of people on the edge of Western Brook Pond. Here's some photos Liv took of Western Brook Pond, just so you can imagine finding one on your new fridge! She's a snap happy kind of girl.
So, back to the story. These people thought the photo was so beautiful that they started researching, found it was in Newfoundland and decided to visit! They also looked up other places to see and ended up right here in Woody Point!
We might start posting photographs to random addresses around the world!

Holidays!
After our super hectic Writers Festival week we took some time off! The Galliott Studios girls took some time to go to the beach! Sadly we chose to go on a rainy day. Here's some photos of us having a good but soggy time!
But we're back at work now! It's been a rainy day again today and it felt like a perfect day for tea and slippers! Here we are just as the sun broke through the cloud!
Why not drop in and join us for tea?

VOBB at Galliott Studios
Galliott Studios is located in Woody Point, which sits on the beautiful Bonne Bay. We like it here a lot! We also like that there's a local radio station here, and that it's great. Voice of Bonne Bay always has lots of interesting shows with music from all over the world. You can listen live on the website http://www.vobb.org/
And today, as a special treat, we have VOBB broadcasting from right here in the Studio! The wonderful Anita Best is playing lots of music and interviewing a whole host of interesting guests. Here's a photo!
We stole this picture from the Writers at Woody Point facebook page, which you could look at here http://www.facebook.com/writersatwoodypoint
The picture shows Anita interviewing Stephen Brunt. The writer's festival is his baby and it's always amazing hearing him talk about everything that's going on!
In similar news, the Galliott Studios girls will be on VOBB this Thursday at 6.30pm. We'd like it if you listened!
