Charming Collections Available at Tattered Rose in St. Albert

 

Tattered Rose is a charming boutique that is hidden in plain sight, if you drive along Riel Drive. Located at 33 Rayborn Crescent, it is more of a destination shop but sometimes, serendipity brings in new customers.

This week, we had 3 different and separate groups of 4 women come in because they were either driving by and saw our (rather huge) store sign or they were from out of town and had Googled women's clothing shops in St. Albert.

I wondered if it meant anything that there were 4 women in each group......

We love our loyal and longtime customers, many who still live in Edmonton since that is where the shop was for 16 years! But we never get tired of welcoming new customers to our special little boutique.

We carry a very eclectic array of clothing, jewellery and home decor, including some of our own one-of-a-kind designs.

Our hours are short and sweet: Wed to Sat 11 to 3, or by appointment. (587) 290-1357

The More Things Change......the Better!

Our Instagram page gets most of the attention these days...and so, this blog must feel awfully neglected.

I'm not even sure if anyone reads blogs anymore, since Instagram and other media sharing sites came along. I still read the occasional blog but more often than not, I see the posts on Instagram and Facebook. I know there are many others but I do try to have balance in my life, which means limiting my time spent online and spending more of it in real life.

We have been in our new location in St. Albert for just over one year now. It has been an awesome year and the shop has been "found" by many new people. With only a 10 minute drive to and from the shop, I definitely have more time to spend at home with my cats. They are pretty happy with that.

Anyway, we have been busy curating beautiful, new things for the shop, including our own designs. Here is a glimpse into some of the collections at Tattered Rose:

Welcome Back!

 "We" are not very good about keeping up to date on this blog, especially since Instagram is where we usually hang out our shingle....it's where we show the new items in the shop and tell stories about life, cats and clothing. Please click on the Instagram link and follow us there, if you would like to stay in touch with what's happening at Tattered Rose  

On that note, have you been to our new location in St. Albert yet? If not, it would be so wonderful if you would come for a visit.

Tattered Rose is located about 2 minutes north of The Enjoy Centre. Our address is 33 Rayborn Crescent in Riel Business Park of St. Albert.

Our hours are still short and sweet: Wed-Sat 11 am to 3 pm (or by appointment)

We currently have a lot of beautiful clothing and jewellery. For you Magnolia Pearl fans, another shipment has just arrived....so exciting, every time an MP box arrives!

For the season that comes after summer, we are looking at shades of dark....from deep green to black and a few colours in between. Lots of dark romance, for those of us who love wearing dark colours. My favourites are grey & black, of course.

But for right now, light and colourful clothing abounds.

New items arriving soon....please stay tuned.

Oh, and we are starting up a NEW newsletter soon. During the move, we lost all of our old contacts and had to start over.

Please contact us at tatteredrose13@gmail.com to have your name added to our newsletter list.

Enjoy your summer....see you soon!

La Vie en Noir

 

Tattered Rose (the shop) has many facets to it. This dark, moody, Gothic vibe is just one of them.

My personal preference in the clothing I wear is dark grey and black.

However, we also have a tons of colourful and neutral shades for those who prefer to wear something else.

Happy Easter

 Wishing all of our customers (who celebrate) a Happy Easter weekend.

Please follow us on Instagram for up to date news:

Easter Weekend

 

Wishing all of our customers who celebrate Easter, a good and peaceful weekend.

We are not usually open on Good Friday, but we thought we should give a chance for our customers who normally work during weekdays a chance to come for a visit.

We will be open Friday and Saturday from 11 am to 3 pm.

Our Neglected Blog.....and Other Stuff

 

(above is a screenshot of our Tattered Rose Instagram page)

There was a time that this blog was our only source of Tattered Rose news...and then we started our monthly newsletter so our time was split between those two things.

Then, social media took off and we joined in where we could...namely Facebook and Instagram.

With all of that to upkeep of the online websites and platforms, something had to give.....after all, there is still a bricks and mortar store to run and our designing to do. Which means that this blog has been sadly neglected.

Then, sometime during the move last year, "we" forgot to renew our newsletter provider and lost all of our email contacts.....that was sad because it was a way for us to keep our customers updated on new things in the shop.

And so, we have relied mostly on Instagram to keep our customers and friends informed of our goings on.

Below, we will list most of the places you will find us and be able to stay informed:
