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.

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..........♥
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.

....to our customers who celebrate it.
Enjoy your time with family and good food. We are so grateful for our customers and friends.♥
P.S. Saying a prayer for those less fortunate too....give when you can, even if it means buying someone a coffee or sandwich.♥
Tattered Rose will be closed on Good Friday but open from 11 am to 2 pm on Saturday of the Easter weekend.
Have a safe and happy Easter weekend to all who celebrate.

Remember us mentioning that we would be carrying
Sid Dickens tiles/memory blocks again?
Well.....they are finally in the store!!!!!
It's like being in a fairy land of beautiful things......♥
P.S. They will be up on the wall as soon as I get my carpenter in
here.....or as soon as I borrow a level from someone....this weekend.
Either way, we can't wait to see them on display.
A gorgeous shade of green, this lovely 1940's vintage slip....to be worn as a dress over leggings or skinny jeans.
More items just arrived in the shop..............♥
