Apple Box Boutique 'postpones' Late Night on the Ave

Even in winter-hardy Alberta, sometimes you have to call it a day.

It is tough, as an Albertan, to shut it down due to weather or bad road conditions -- we generally believe it is never as bad as the road reports or meteorologists are telling us -- but we've decided to heed our inner voice and keep it safe by not holding our Late Night on the Ave event this evening. 

We'd love it if everyone made it home for cocoa and a good book, or whatever your favourite 'best night in' activity is, so instead of staying open late, we will extend our contest.

Hey, next 'night in' you could be dressed in your apron and painting with Chalk Paint™, inspired by Annie Sloan's Creating a French Look book!

So, stop in at the Boutique during normal business hours between tomorrow and next Thursday, November 8th, spend $25 and be entered to win our "Late Night" draw.

That said, please note that we are not speaking for the other Highlands merchants involved in the Late Night event - just l'il ole Apple Box Boutique and Sugar Blossoms Floral Design.

Have a safe and happy evening!

♥,  
Apple Box Boutique

The Apple Cart - Great New Shipping Rates!

In September we quickly created special online shopping options to help with customer demand when our Chalk Paint™ shipment was delayed due to Hurricane Isaac.  Now that we have all caught up, we are revising The Apple Cart.

What's new?

Miss Mustard Seed's Milk Paint is again available for pre-order. With the original 'rush' shipping rates being a bit higher than we were comfortable with, we closed the MMS section of our online store until we could do better for our customers.

The 'Pick up at Boutique' option has expired.  We added this as a choice so that when Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan arrived there wouldn't be a crush at the paint cabinet.  The pre-orders came pouring in and we feel it was the right thing to do under the circumstances.  Now that things are settling down, it is back to 'the normal rush' and paint is available on the shelves at Apple Box Boutique. 

We've been looking for really great shipping rates and we found them! 

Now when you visit The Apple Cart there is an Add To Cart button rather than a drop-down box with options.  That is because we researched and landed great rates so that we can get your paint to you as inexpensively as possible.

Watch for upcoming online specials starting in October!

And don't miss Late Night on the Ave this Thursday, October 4th... but more on that tomorrow, here at On The Apple Box.

♥,  
Apple Box Boutique
