Thanks so much to everyone who sent us an entry for our Mother's Day dress give away.  Reading about the amazing moms who were entered made me laugh out loud and a couple even choked me up.....just a bit.  In the end I had to draw a name from a hat because it would have been way too difficult to choose otherwise.  The lucky winner picked out an Atelier B. dress that looked absolutely phenomenal on her!  I sure hope all of you amazing moms got pampered on Sunday.  Now onto other news......

The first We3 spring pieces we received last month got snapped up so quickly that photos never even made it to the blog.  Luckily we've received more We3 including some gorgeous new pieces!  The structured tunic length vest below has large patch pockets and looks amazing belted or left open.....

The Pep Pants above are available in the grey shown and also a denim blue.  The V-neck Kimono Sleeve top below is such a great shape and works for so many body types that we had to get more. We now have it available in white and also grey stripes (but we no longer have the charcoal shown).

We've also received the cutest denim tencel dress by Meemoza, plus great shorts and a tee with an adorable tea cup print......

The gorgeous prints on these Mandala Sky tanks and dresses are the artwork of designer Sky Marcano, on Salt Spring Island.

More great prints on these Jennifer Glasgow and Loden tops below.......

Just a reminder that we'll be CLOSED this Monday, May 21st, for Victoria Day.  Have a great long weekend everyone!

New jewellery for spring (which seems to have finally arrived!) and just in time to drop some Mom's Day hints we thought we'd share some photos.  LOVE these new locally made leather wrap bracelets by Lorraine Buckrell.....

Tarino Bambino earrings are also locally made - from guitar picks!

To celebrate Mother's Day - probably the most important day of the year - we'd like to give one lucky mama a new dress!  All you have to do is send an email to beon6th@telus.net that includes the name and email address of an amazing mom you know, and tell us why you think she's amazing.  That's it!  Shouldn't be hard, there are so many amazing moms around - and don't be afraid to nominate yourself either!  

Emails must be received by midnight this Saturday, May 12th, so we can choose the lucky winner and let her know on Mother's Day. She'll be able to come in and pick out a new dress.......just cause she's amazing!

Hope you can all come downtown this Saturday, May 5th, for Elevate the Arts.  There are going to be so many exciting, inspiring things to see and do throughout the day.  A celebration of visual art, design, music, photography, film, dance........you name it, it's happening!  Right on our street at the Art Gallery plaza there will be Fiddlejam, a dance show, and 7 Story Circus on the plaza, plus an underground craft fair in lower Elks hall.  And that's just two of many, many downtown venues (which even include the back alleys!).

Check out the website for details and come on downtown this Saturday to Elevate the Arts!  www.elevatethearts.com
