Upside of...Painting.

So if you haven't heard yet, we're moving! The new shop will be open at 269 Queen St. East as of Saturday, June 6. Of course there's a lot of prep work that goes into a new location and painting is one of them. Yup. We spent the day painting and boy does paintin' suck. White on white is especially tricky though apparently there's this nifty blue tint that Ace Hardware makes that you add to the paint and then after 24 hours disappears to leave a pure white paint job.  Wish we would have known, of course teaches us that planning before painting is a very smart thing. But before we walked into the hardware store to buy whatever paint we came across, we thought we might try out a product we had heard about a lil' while ago, Boomerang Recycled Paint. Made from mixing unused old domestic paint and for a measly $14.99 a can, how could we go wrong! So we stopped in our local Salvation Army and purchase two cans and now that we've done the dead are quite happy with the colour we chose. We won't spoil it, you'll have to come see yourself. Tomorrow, more painting(ugh!) and some cleaning(double ugh!) But when the job's all done, we will be two very happy folk.

Move On Up!

Sooo, we're moving! Yes'm. As of June 1 our new retail space will be located at 269 Queen St. East. And oh-boy are we excited! In the meantime we have loads of things to get done. One of which is a sale. Yup Saturday, May 16 from 10-5pm and Sunday, May 17 from 10-3pm we're having a super clear out cash only sale. Racks of clothing with nothing over $5. Tons of jewelery $2-5 plus quantity discounts. Shelves of decor at rock bottom prices. We'll also have online sales going until the end of the month, which means tons of fresh new goods on the site as of June 1. So grab what goodies you can while they last, stop on by and say goodbye to the good ol' 51C.

Man, the rest of the month is gonna be a whirlwind.
