I’m so excited to share this fun idea for you to enjoy a cup of coffee with a friend and stop in for some really great savings on our accessories. Jim at Fresh Cup Roastery serves up a delicious cup of coffee and yours is free with a $25 purchase at our shop starting Good Friday thru April 11th (we will issue a coupon for you to take over to Fresh Cup). Spring is a great time to pick up a few new accessories for your home. Or do you have a need for a gift this month for a birthday or anniversary, maybe even a spring wedding? Actually come to think of it, my anniversary is coming up this month. We had a lovely spring wedding many moons ago…..with mixed bouquets full of every spring flower imaginable! I can still remember the incredible smell of the lily of the valley in my bridal bouquet. Since I am such a flower fanatic I couldn’t toss it for the single girls, instead I had a second one made for this purpose. Memories!
It’s also my birthday this weekend- Yeh! I love April!! Hope it’s sunny, it usually always shines on my day! What are you up to for Easter? Family dinner or a quiet weekend? Be sure to do something just for you, sneak in a spa visit, or a nice walk or take some time to read a favourite magazine–I just picked up the Coastal Living Mag, it makes me dreamy for summer! You might even like to tip toe thru the tulips!! Take a peek at these tulips!
Vantreight Farms is offering u-pick tulips at their farm market stand on East Saanich Rd. I went today and plucked an armful at a mere 40 cents a stem! They are so fresh and lovely. I rather felt Dutch– just needed my bicycle and a carrier basket with the tulips piled high!
I hope you might stop by our shop with a friend since this is a rare ocurence that we have an excellent promotion like this one. Just in case you do decide to, our store hours this holiday weekend are; Good Friday 11-5, Saturday 9:30-5:30, and Sunday we are closed to enjoy Easter. On Easter Monday we are open 11-5.
One last thing. Ahem…. we love your comments but I think we have confused you as to how to reply to us. I often receive comments, but in the form of an email (vs a comment on our site) replying to our method of sending out our recent posts. It was my goal for you to see the pretty images in your in box vs just the text. However, if you click the title of the email in the body or the link at the bottom it will take you to the site and there is a comment box at the bottom of the post. We luuuuv your replies, suggestions and ideas on our site. It inspires us to keep on writing. Sooo, just to encourage you to send a little message- don’t be shy, we have a prize that we will randomly award to one of you by April 11th. The prize is 1lb of Jim’s fabulous coffee over at Fresh Cup Roastery. So drop us a line and enter to win, you never know, it could be you!
Hope you have a Happy Easter weekend:)
