I know that we wont be seeing signs of spring for awhile, but optimism and patience is a must living in sunny Alberta!


Accepting winter consignment until February 8, then will send out a date for spring items.

January is the best and the worst of what Alberta weather has to offer, but on the up swing February is the downhill spurt into what spring is in Alberta!


Stay warm, keep smiling and pay it forward this weekend!

Here it is the middle of January, a fast start to the new year, and this mild weather has me feeling a bit more "up beat". Getting inspired by the longer days that have been creeping in.


It has been awesome with new consignment items coming in each day, one item in particular is bags. Ladies if you are looking for a new purse or bag, we have you covered.

I have been having lots of trouble uploading photos on the blog this week, so haven't sent any awesome pictures of the new handmade 100% wool leg warmers, arm warmers, hats, mitts, and socks! check them out on our facebook page.


Not one for new years resolutions, but there is something exciting about starting fresh on Jan 1st with so many great opportunities to embrace, new places to explore, and to let go of what is not working in ones life.


With the huge amount of snow this winter has brought, and still to come, this link was pretty cool

Welcome to 2014 a new year. I was off and away last week, enjoying the holiday season with family and reflecting on what a new year brings. So far lots and lots of snow!

My sister-in-law shared this blog with me, she said she reads it when in need of inspiration and compassion. I haven't been through the whole story yet, but each day read a bit more. This women has a heartwarming story that everyone can take away from.

These short clips, and movies really are true to life, a clever view on relationships.

I feel 2014 is "the year", it holds so much potential to have Jan 1st as a starting date with 365 days ahead to start fresh with new beginnings, cleaning up loose ends, and learning and growing each new day.

Live life wholeheartedly!

As the count down to Christmas is upon us, take some time and be kind to the most important person in your life, you. When you are happy and fulfilled it spills over to everyone in your world. Whatever that means, an extra couple minutes over breakfast all to yourself, going for a walk in the wintery night, curling up with a book, heading for a spa day, or finding the perfect outfit at reFind :)

This link was sent to me twice and it brought the warm fuzzy's and a few tears, it would be so much fun to spread some Santa cheer
