Reimagined Monday with a Twist (and a Sweet Birdy)

Usually our Reimagined Monday post features makeover projects by our customers and colleagues using  Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan or Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint.  Today we are revealing a reimagining of our very own and while they are all special, we are particluarly excited about this one.

One day soon this will make it's way into a paint project, but in the meantime we are very pleased to share with you... our new company logo:

We've been working closely with the fabulous Nikki of Fetching Finn to capture just the right look and 'feeling'.  Nikki is not just an exceptional designer with a positive, upbeat personality -- she was also fully capable of being the ringmaster to our circus of suggestions and ideas.  In Nikki's creative hands, what could have ended up a very busy mix of fonts and images became exactly what we dreamed of... our favourite colours and nonliteral imagery all wrapped up in casual elegance.

It is a celebration of what our little boutique has become, thanks to you - our incredible customers - and everyone who has helped us to make 2012 a year to remember.

We are so very appreciative, and we couldn't be happier!  

♥,
Apple Box Boutique

Happy Thanksgiving from Apple Box Boutique Inc.

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life.  It turns what we have into enough, and more.  It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity.  It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.  Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today and creates a vision for tomorrow.  

~Melody Beattie

All of us at Apple Box Boutique wish you and yours a happy and healthy Thanksgiving weekend.

♥,  
Apple Box Boutique
