Stories Of My Hidden Island Paradise

Wood Islands Prints

"Welcome

Welcome to the site for Wood Islands Prints.

The Wood Islands part of the name is from the area (town?) where I live here on Prince Edward Island in eastern Canada. It is known best for the ferry terminal about two miles from home. The ferry goes across to Nova Scotia for about 7 months of the year and is a popular tourist attraction. In the winter the area loses all tourist attraction and drops to the relatively few permanent residents.

The Prints part of the name began about a decade ago when I first began marketing matted prints of photographs I had taken to local gift shops. The photography side of the business has settled to a small but steady business supplying postcards and photo-magnets of local scenes (produced through VistaPrint) to shops on the southeast corner of the island." read more...

This is a new blog written by Tom Schultz to help new Island writers to self publish.

As we move more deeply into the 21st Century and the age of information, the economic well being of Prince Edward Island will depend more heavily on the arts and the stories that will be the content of plays and paintings as well as books and music like those at the "Tunes and Yarns Virtual Cafe"

Enjoy the stories of my Hidden Island Paradise. As we take you on an artistic picnic of our culture through image, story and music. Just imagine being here...

Island Wide Kitchen Party Feb 20th, 2012

"The Biggest Kitchen Party You've Ever Seen!"

"Each year Prince Edward Island celebrates Islander Day - so come February 20th it will be a holiday for ALL who live here – both those native to the Island and those that have moved here from the mainland and away. Then there are those who may only be able  to wish that they could be here.

There’s an alliance that has formed to unite both groups called Islanders by Choice and this year they are planning to kick the celebrations up a couple of notches – throwing what they call
 'The Biggest Kitchen Party You've Ever Seen'.  There will be great entertainment and great food – dancing, playing and above all having fun."
