The Most Feminine Colour.......

You know that expression "pretty in pink"?

 Well, we are loving pink right now.....it is such a pretty colour....so feminine and romantic♥

From Tattered Rose, with Love♥

I never know how my day at the store is going to go....and yesterday was an interesting & inspiring one! I love days like that....

A young lady, who is a beautiful model, came in with her Mom...they were looking for clothing for the daughter to wear for an upcoming photo shoot with a local photographer. The theme of the shoot, as described by the Mom, was "hipster romantic bohemian" I exclaimed "That's Tattered Rose!" to which they both replied "We know...that's why we're here!"

She found one dress that was perfect and we plan to collaborate in the near future on a Tattered Rose photo shoot....stay tuned.

The other interesting thing that happened was an American musician and his wife (who is from Canada) were looking around....after a lengthy conversation, I found out that they live in Nashville and have one of those inspiring love stories that had me fascinated with how wonderful human beings are. I am always up for a great "how we met" story and theirs was one of the best.

They kinda know Keith Urban and Nicole Kidman and a bunch of other musicians and artists down there...I must have seemed like a star struck goofball...but that's just the way I am.

 As many years as I have been on this earth, I never want to stop being pleasantly amazed at people and the world around me.

Inspiring day....so happy I decided to be open on a holiday weekend.

The Best Time to Shop....

.....is on a long weekend like the Victoria Day long weekend. Many people are gone camping and/or out of town so there are no crowds to face.

Peaceful shopping.......we like that♥

P.S. Tattered Rose is open today from 11 am to 2 pm.

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.
