Last Day to Save $ on our November Colour of the Month!

In Remembrance -- this month on the 11th hour of the 11th day -- we honoured fallen members of our armed forces.  As a symbol of our gratitude and respect we selected Emperor's Silk Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan as our Colour of the Month.

It is the colour of the poppy, an emblem of Remembrance Day inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields".

Emperor's Silk a bright pure red, like the red silk lining of a jacket and a favourite for inside drawers and cupboards. Here are a few examples of what you can do with this rich, velvety Chalk Paint™:

20,000 Thank-yous!

After a couple of long days working like mad to sort out why our blog posts would not publish, the mystery has been solved.  Thank you to all those Blogger folks that made efforts to ensure we would be up and running for a day we absolutely did not want to miss. It is a special day...

Yes... it is thanks to you that we have reached 20,000 pageviews!!!

Some people may wonder why we think this is a big deal.  First, it is a huge deal because we have made great new friends and appreciate that our readers visit us.  Second, it is because when we started the blog, we had set 20,000 pageviews as a milestone for ourselves.  What makes this day even better is that we had hoped to meet this moment in a set time period, and we are excited to have reached here much earlier than expected.

And so we are VERY excited.  It is a warm, fuzzy feeling and we want to thank YOU for stopping in, for following and for sharing at On The Apple Box.

To show our appreciation, we would like to offer a V.I.P. discount to all of our blog followers and readers.  Just email us at info@appleboxboutique.com with the subject line: I've been On The Apple Box, and we will send you a coupon worth 20% off in-store purchases* until the end of the week.

20,000... what a pretty number.  THANK YOU!

♥,

Apple Box Boutique

*Includes all home decor, bath & body and candles. Coupon valid until end of day on Friday, June 29th.

Happy Mother's Day!

Mother`s Day: Our Day To Give Back

Mother`s Day Is Our Day To Give Back

“Mother’s Day is all about cherishing the woman who has raised you to become the person you are today.  It is an opportunity to thank her for all the she is and all that she has taught you through her unconditional love.”

All this week, we are offering 15% off one-of-a-kind furniture and home decor with gifts to suit any lucky Mom.  With new items arriving daily, the selection is better than ever. Watch our blog and Facebook page for the daily special and even more savings.

One stop shopping... Make the ultimate statement and pair your gift with flowers.

One of the things we love about sharing our boutique with Sugar Blossoms Floral Design is that every day, no matter the season, no matter the weather, walking into our shop is like entering into a wonderous garden full of heavenly scents and cheery colours.  But nothing compares to the spectacle that is Mother`s Day!

It doesn`t hurt that they`ve sweetened the bouquet by offering an opportunity to win brunch at La Boheme and a $50 flower arrangment!  It`s as easy as pre-booking with the added bonus of no worries about selection (or for some busy folks, forgetting to order those all-important posies)!

I`m reminded of a poem I once heard that began:

My Mother kept a garden,
a garden of the heart,
She planted all the good things
that gave my life it's start.

Apple Box Boutique for gifts she`ll love and Sugar Blossoms Floral Design for beautiful flowers: What a great way to thank your Mom... for everything.
