Shades of Grey

Inspired by grey skies and a dream I had of a female warrior wearing pewter-grey armour........there are a lot of grey things in the shop right now....starting with the various shades of grey in our Joan-of-Arc inspired window display.

Tattered Rose is a big fan of grey. It goes so well with other colours, from black to pink to brown to blue....
It is a colour that is beautifully unassuming, quiet in it's presence but so powerful if necessary.

NEW grey arrivals all this week....alongside our pretty floral garments for those who love the more traditional colours of Spring & Summer.

Snow-free Shopping Day!

You could look out your window and be depressed about the falling snow but we think it's the perfect day for some retail therapy...at Tattered Rose, of course.

Lots of new stuff in..........♥

A Little Bit of Happiness

Most of us are aware of the world around us...some of it very sad and difficult. But the optimist likes to think that even when things are darkest, there is some measure of happiness to be found, and often in the most simple things....

-coffee with a friend
-a hug from someone in your life
-a smile from a stranger
-hearing the birds sing again after a long winter
-doing yard work for the first time ever!
-feeling the warmth of the sun on your face
-tuning into a t.v. channel just when one of your favourite movies is beginning
-reading a book and being quietly kept company by all three of your cats 
-buying a new something to wear the next time you are feeling a bit down
-hearing from a long lost friend via text or phone
-hearing a song you love while driving to work

We all need to find our own measure of happiness in this world to keep going. May you find what makes your heart happy, even if for a little while.

Take time to appreciate all that you do have in your life.
