Hello Everyone,
My usual Red Couch Ramblings & Store/Life News. :-)
I’m excited for May and hopefully some sunshine soon!
Our family enjoyed our Spring Break holiday to the mountains. April was busy being in the store and a few kids activities then we ended April off with a bang! It was our annual Spring Creative Makery last weekend at GSIB! A wonderful group of women brought all kinds of creative projects to work on. Scrapbooking (paper & digital), card making, watercolour travel journals, mixed media art and more! We had the Drop In Center to spread out with lots of room and shopping and meals in the store. The Rossburn Hotel made Saturday’s lunch for us, and my Baba made our homemade lasagnas for our Saturday Supper, which, both were delicious and gave me more time to create as well and get lots done. Plus the girls did a great job looking after the rest of the meals and snacks, with my mom’s guidance. Yay!! It was such a fun weekend to spend crafting with friends!
Looking forward to the next one!
Now that it is May, I’m might be slightly on countdown for moving to the lake. LOL
Though the weather needs to start improve. But first, Mother’s Day!
Mother’s Day is next Sunday! Some flowers and plants began arriving this Friday. The rest will arrive early next week! So if you are looking to treat Mom (or yourself or a friend) with fresh flowers, plants, gifts, iced coffee and more - we have got you covered. It is normally our busiest week of the year, so we suggest calling ahead for flowers, plants or gift baskets. That way you can avoid waiting and we will create the perfect item to have ready for you when you come. But there will also be lots to choose from if you decide to come to do your own leisurely shop through our store, to find the perfect gift! Deliveries will be only Wednesday to Saturday and the cut off to order for deliveries will be noon the day before! No deliveries on Sunday - only pick ups and/or come shop & pick from our Grab & Go options! Just call 204-859-3334 or text 0028 to order.
From now until May 12th, we are open Tues - Thursday 9-5, Friday 9-6, Saturday 9-3. Sunday 11-1. Then Closed Monday, May 13th & Tuesday, May 14th.
Also, on an exciting note…. our Foothills Creamery Hard Ice Cream arrives late next week too. YUM~ Just in time for Mother’s Day!
May Long is the Town Wide Yard Sale Weekend in Rossburn, so that will also be a great weekend to visit the store. We have quite a few weekends this month we are opening, so plan a nice Spring road trip! June 22nd we are participating in the first Kickoff to Rossburn Main Street Event. It will be a Street Bingo, Market, Street Dance & More. Watch for details as it will be a lot of fun and hive of activity for our town!
The kids are busy as usual. Dalyn is working out west in Alberta for a couple of months with a contractor. He will be home for the summer working. His fall plans are still unknown. Haley went to Badminton Provincials this weekend for Mixed Doubles for her first time. She had fun! Noelle has been helping more in the store and still recovering with her knee injury. She is hoping to start playing sports soon. She’s getting antsy. But just a reminder, I’ll be open but no vehicle out front - she doesn’t have her license, but I’m OPEN - especially if the lighted sign is on. This is the same for the summer too! We will be OPEN Tues to Saturday in the summer, but only Haley has her license. So you most likely won’t see a vehicle parked outside, but we are Open! If in doubt check facebook/instagram or google for our weekly hours, or call the store.
As the sun begins to hopefully start shining, it will be time to move the picnic tables out front again. Yay, for soon to be summer weather, and enjoying ice cream and drinks under our umbrellas at the tables. We also have some special baked goodies and ice cream treats planned! Watch social media for pictures!
Heartfelt gratitude and huge Thank You hugs, for continuing to choose to support my small business in any way and cheer on our family! If I don’t get to see you, Happy Mother’s Day & Happy Spring from me to you!
Enjoy the sunshine!
💕 Kel
