Reimagined Monday: Camping In Style ...& Colour!

Well, as they say, better late than never!  We're still moving a tad slow around here thanks to that hideous spring flu, but wanted to post this makeover as a little pick-me-up on a chilly, wet and windy day.

Contrary to what it seems (at least here in Alberta), summer is right around the bend, and now is the time to start those projects to make it another fantastic, colourful season.

That is just what Angela Boone Leachman did to jazz up her vintage trailer using Chalk Paint™ by Annie Sloan in Emperor's Silk, Provence, Graphite, Pure White, and Arles.

Can you spot all the different colours and shades?

Suffice it to say that we LOVE her reimagination!

Don't forget to enter our monthly contest for your chance to win!  
Here's the info:

Reimagined Monday Draw

We would like to highlight more customer projects!  Send us your before/during/after pictures and tell us about your creative process using Chalk Paint™ or Milk Paint and you'll be entered into our monthly Reimagined Monday draw.

Each month we will give away a different item like paint, brushes, books, supplies, gift certificates and more. You don't have to be featured to be eligible... the month you enter is the month you will be included in the draw. 

Send your name, pictures and story to:

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.
