A Day of Remembrance

Today we honour fallen members of our armed forces, and offer our respect and gratitude to the men and women who have served, and continue to serve our country during times of war, conflict and peace.



For conflicts fought in far-off lands, there is much to remember. Foremost are the people, the men and women who served wherever they were needed. They faced difficult situations bravely and brought honour to themselves, to their loved ones and to their country.

They were ordinary Canadians who made extraordinary sacrifices.

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!
