Reimagined Monday

Monday.  It is one of those days that can clunk along while you pine for the past weekend and can't wait to see the next one on the horizon.  I am always looking for something to brighten up Mondays, and I think this might be the answer...

Weekends offer an opportunity to work on fun projects, and Monday seems like the perfect day to show them off!

Send us a description of how you used Annie Sloan Chalk Paint to get from your vision to the reimagined piece, before and after pictures, pictures of your project in progress or a couple of it in its finished state, and you may be highlighted on our blog!

I'm excited to see what you've dreamed in colour.

Happy Painting!

Flowers! Today our shop is a Parisian garden

Happy Valentine's Day, one and all!  Today our shop is brimming with flowers, and I couldn't be happier.  Love is in the air!

I have an affinity for Paris, French style and the incredibly breathtaking gardens in the region and thanks to sharing our boutique with Sugar Blossoms Floral Design, I have been transported there.  We are surrounded by a sea of roses and other aromatic, beautiful flowers awaiting a new home this Valentine's Day. 

Anyone who receives one of Sugar Blossoms' stunning bouquets or arrangements will fall in love all over again... I know I have!

Highlands Secrets

Highlands is a lovely, friendly place and a big part of what makes it special are the little gems you find here. Case in point: Sabrina Butterfly Designs.

Local fashion designer Sabrina O'Donnell was featured this week on Breakfast Television and it was especially exciting for those of us who happen to be "in the hood". Her boutique is just a few doors down and is such a unique, unassuming space that we like to think of it as one of our 'Highlands secrets'.

This week brought to the forefront that Sabrina and her fantastic line of clothing are in fact not a secret at all. Hers is a bustling, cozy, friendly shop that beckons a wide range of personalities looking for something special that will not only be beautiful but easy to care for.

Most of Sabrina's designs are wash and wear; she has managed to make dressing well very, very easy and the comfort level gets two big thumbs up. Plus she carries jewelery and other fun items. But don't just take my word for it. Stop in and see for yourself!

Sabrina Butterfly Designs is located in Highlands at #102, 6421-112 Avenue. And don't forget to swing by Apple Box Boutique to say hello!
