Weekend Update


Just got back from a buying show in Edmonton, found a few fun new things for spring. If all goes well we should be getting Sanuk yoga mat sandals in, super comfy. Also some new designs of Babylegs, Soother clips, Miracle Milk Bibs and Plush Pocket Blankets.

We're doing some painting around the store to freshen things up a bit. Check out the reception area by Mark's office--so slick! I will have to take pictures to show you--a really nice spring green with black trim. I'll have to get the paint names from Carol also! The Plumbing display units are next, we've got the colors all lined up.

All the new spring and garden merchandise is starting to roll in, including our new Spring glossy flyer, available in store. Same goes for the spring Home at Home magazine, get them while they're hot!

Random musings from Edmonton:

-Barista at Starbucks calling out orders, pronoucing latte as LATT-eh? and misto as MISSED-oh.
-Earls serving a man next to us a rum and coke, with the rum on the rocks in a glass, and the coke in a mini side carafe (like they serve wine in). Everyone was thoroughly confused... is that supposed to make it more classy or something?
-NO WINS on Roll up the rim yet!
-Took my Gido (grandpa) a Dark Cherry Mocha for a surprise and EVERYONE in his senior's complex said "Oh, you brought me my coffee!" I guess next time we should bring enough for everyone!
-Sarah and I are born grazers. We can barely finish one meal we split, but yet are starving an hour later. Enter Yogen Fruz. So good, so glad it's back and upped it's game.
-I'm excited for daylight savings time to begin because Hannah has been waking up too early, thus, I will once again be able to wake up at a semi-normal hour when we spring forward one hour tonight.
