With the speed of light, at least that is how it feels, April has gone by bringing us bits and pieces of spring. I have been able to wear skirts without tights, even shorts. Love the change in seasons!


For the month of May I am wearing skirts, just a fun way of feeling light, girly and springy. They are so easy to put together with a colorful tee, tank, shrug, blazer or jacket and any shoe will work.


With spring clean up of our yards and flowerbeds, this link gives an organic straw bale technique

Happy Easter everyone!


Ladies the consignment continues to come in daily with spring and summer items. We have tanks, tees, both formal dresses and sundresses, lots of brand name jeans, belts, skirts, sandals... and many more things to add to your wardrobe for the warmer weather.


After a very busy week this link from my sister-in-law was just what I needed, it requires you to stop, think, and follow through

I don't want to even think about winter wear, can you believe that the fall/winter fashion is already in the magazines! Ahh, lets just enjoy the spring

This may not be funny to everyone, but I just couldn't resist :)

This past week of sunshine has brought a smile to everyone and it has filled us up and recharged our spirits!


Spring cleaning is itching to be done, purging of unused, unwanted items making room for new things to come or just left empty. I love the feeling of letting go of things that no longer serve a purpose for me, feels freeing!


Consignment is coming in everyday, bringing lots of spring/summer dresses, tanks, tees, Capri's, bags, sunglasses, skirts, jeans and we have a spring SALE on with marked items 15%-25% off!


It seems like everywhere you turn there is a new book, video, and uplifting talks, telling us about putting stillness, quiet time, paying it forward, slowing down into our lives. This short 3 min video has a great message.

It feels like the town of Olds is sitting in a winter vortex, no signs of spring, and yet drive an hour north or south and there is bare grass!

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"

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
