The more things change, the more they stay the same...

 

Well, my friends/customers.....

If THIS news disapoints you, imagine how we (I) must feel.

That new space we had leased in St. Albert fell through. The owner cancelled my lease two days before I was to take possession of the space to get it ready for Tattered Rose. She sold the building and the new owners apparently want to occupy the whole main floor, which is where our store would have been. Even though it was a legal contract, and we probably could have forced the issue, we chose not to. 

This means that we are still looking for the perfect location for Tattered Rose. This also means that we may end up staying where we are if we do not find the right sdpace. Right now, things are up in the air. 

This whole situation has been so stressful and heart breaking but "it will be OK in the end. And if it is not OK, then it is not the end." (to quote a line from the movie "The Best Marigold Hotel)

One thing we know for sure: we are not gong to disappear. One way or another, Tattered Rose is here to stay and we still have so much to bring our customers, it is mind-boggling!
