Christmas may be over, but there’s no time for the January blues because we are really pleased to announce our Grand Opening!

We’ve got a big day planned and we would love to see you here. On January 29th between 10am and 5pm we’ll be offering you great products, cupcakes, coffee and the first 50 people who visit the store will get a fantastic gift bag! (And you really do want this gift bag, my husband wants a gift bag) We’ll also be doing door prize draws throughout the day and we’ve got some great give aways of not just our own products but loads of local business have donated items, coupons and gift certificates so there’s lots of chances to win something! (For a full list and links to our donors please see our events page!)

We’re also really excited to let you know that for 3 days from January 29th to 31st (which includes all Grand Opening purchases) we’re going to donate 20% of all sales to Ronald McDonald House for Children! In case you don’t know, Ronald McDonald House is a place for the families of sick children to stay while they’re undergoing treatment at the Children’s Hospital. It’s a “home away from home” where kids can be kids despite what illness they’re facing and their parent’s are able to be there with them at little or no cost. We’re very happy to be able to do this and we hope you’ll join us in supporting a local charity.
Back to School
WEll, school is back, schedules are in check and the classroom regime has begun for the year. What do you remember about your classroom? Globes, maps, chalkboards … My friends and I still remenisce and reiterate the words and quotes that were in the classroom from our school days. We always seem to think about decorating our living spaces, but what about the classroom? The classroom makes a huge impact on how your kids learn, remember and feel day to day. How does your teacher decorate her classroom? Here are some design chic classroom photos from Jillian Harris ‘s new website blog.
Would this space inspire your learning?
