March came in like a lion and is leaving like a lion, no lamb in site! If ever we deserve of an "Indian Summer" it is this year, so lets soak up any and all sunshine and warmth that comes our way.


Spring consignment has filled up the store from front to back! Racks of tanks, shorts, skirts, dresses, short sleeves, casual pants in colors and patterns, must come in a check them out.


All animal lovers, and having had both dogs and cats myself this video shows that the feline wins every time

Yesterday was the first day of spring, and typical March weather brought more snow and winds creating a "not so welcoming" feeling to start off our spring season. We all know this is short lived and yes the sun will come out and melt it all away soon , but I am ready to pack the wool and winter wear away!


I didn't know March 20 was declared as "random acts of kindness" day. Even though it is a day late, lets pass on some of our own "random acts of kindness"

This was a good laugh, as anyone living in Alberta can relate

It is reFinds  4th birthday this Saturday, March 15!
So to celebrate the store is decorated with Miss Lu Lu balloon creations, so talented, and treats from Coco Tree and tea from Pandora's Boox & Tea.
Wait there is more, with every purchase of $50 or more you will receive a $5 coupon to use for your next visit and one to give to a friend, also there is a draw each day for a $30 gift card! Stop by and say hi, we are there everyday 10-6pm.


Wow, just like that there is a small window of spring this past week, what a treat. It puts a spring in your step and a smile on your face. The links this week are all "over the map"...


I found this link on my sons facebook page, very cool way for modern technology to create much needed water to areas where they do not have the luxury we do of turning on the tap to safe water

The snow is soon to be a fading memory, ha ha I know a bit early, but thinking of keeping our grass green, and weed free will be an obsession in a few months, watch this clip maybe a few dandelions aren't so bad, sort of a love hate relationship...

get out and enjoy the sunshine, spread some good energy to those who need it most!

With "old man winter" still holding on strong, it is hard to get excited about spring fashion. But in the store the lighter colors, fabrics and styles are a breath of spring air.


I have an addiction to fashion and home magazines, just flipping through the pages is a visual creative experience. January and February issues of In Style, Flare, Chatelaine give you an idea of what is new for 2014 spring fashion, this link has a few ideas

Stay warm, and spring ahead this Sunday with daylight savings

Last day of February, Yea! I know March can be a mixed bag of tricks with wild wind and snow storms, hoping for some Chinook skies and melting the piles of snow.


Here is a great remix of a very happy song...

For my week five of my "whole hearted" course, it has been all about cultivating gratitude and joy, letting go of scarcity and fear of the dark. So in doing this during the week I was to not just feel gratitude but practice it, yes there is a difference I found out.

I have a son graduating this year and it is all about "what next", secondary schools, jobs, moving out. This Ted Talk with Cameron Herold is from Alberta, on creating entrepreneurs, this is something worth thinking about as parents and for our schools (he speaks very fast, as he has a lot to say)!
