I broke my arm two days before Christmas and have been seriously out
of commission (and in a great deal of pain & discomfort) ever
since.
I will let you know when we are open again.
To my customers: Sorry about the inconvenience this may cause. I will get back as soon as I can.

Things are winding down...the last few days before the Christmas shopping "rush" although this year, it has been more of a slow stroll.
It is not an easy time of year for some of us....lost loved ones, lost jobs, or a sense of not feeling the Christmas spirit the way it used to feel.
Like most things, this too shall pass....eventually. Not the facts of your loss but the overwhelming feelings that may occupy a lot of your time. That is what helps me get through it because I am one of those people who don't especially love this time of year any more. The Christmas season makes me realize how much I miss my Mom who left this Earth on March 6, 2007, just after I opened Tattered Rose in Edmonton. It also makes me think of my family who are far away that I can't be with.
I usually cannot listen to Christmas songs in stores because the tears well up in my eyes and sometimes even make it down my cheeks. I thought it was only the sappy ones but the other day, while in Petsmart buying food for our cats the the wild birds that hang out in our pine tree outside, I found myself getting emotional while "Santa Claus is Coming to Town" was playing. Crazy.
But I am very happy to have helped some of my customers find special gifts for their loved ones....that makes it worthwhile for me.
I always breathe a sigh of relief the day after New Years Eve. The holidays are done for another year and I can get on with my normal amount of crying for lost loved ones, which is only now and then.
For everyone who feels this way, I reach out to you and give you a hug. Sometimes all we need is a hug from a friend.
It will be OK.
Merry Christmas everyone.
Love,
Carol

A sort of haiku:
So, this is where the "urban" part comes in. This knitted poncho/scarf. Cozy & modern....and urban.
Tattered Rose is eclectic but not everything has ruffles.
Ruffles are good, great even but not everyone wants to wear them.
We have plenty of non-ruffled clothing to choose from. In fact, we
probably have 10 times as much clothing that isn't ruffled than is.
I still love ruffles though.
And lace.
Oh, and velvet!

Wishing everyone a safe & happy holiday season.
Love,
Tattered Rose

Once upon a time there was a farmgirl. Aside from her obvious love
for her family and friends, she also loved fudge, clothing, and animals,
especially cats and horses and grew up knowing she would never be rich.
She would instead be one of those creative people who liked
having money but loved following their heart more. The dream of one day
owning her own shop where she carried the most delectable clothing &
jewellery would lead her down paths she had only imagined.....just not down the path of early retirement.
Yep, this is the owner of Tattered Rose, and while she carries things
like sparkly jewels & long velvet evening type dresses and coats,
there is certainly more than a hint of farmgirl in every corner of the
shop.

You never know what any given day will bring. That is why it is very important not to look back, but to enjoy the present....live in the moment, with the belief that something wonderful is about to happen.
That's how dreamers do it.
