April
has always been a month in transition, where Mother Nature sheds her cloak of
winter and brings forth the suggestion of spring and summer. It looks like
this year that cloak has a stuck zipper and she just can’t seem to get it
off. Winter has hung on with a tenacity that is unparalleled (in my
memory) to any recent April. I noticed that my tulips are still trying
their best to poke their heads up even though the snow keeps trying to beat
them down. We can learn a lot from tulips – they know what they are
supposed to do and just do it! They know the weather will eventually
change and just persevere – for them it’s a guarantee. Another guarantee
in April is Taxes – consider this your 10-day count down to T-Day. Since
the weather is going to suck, you might as well hunker down and get those taxes
done.
For those of you getting a tax refund, I can suggest a great way to get that
annoying extra cash out of your bank account – come shop at Ruby
Tuesday! And for those of you not so fortunate, a little retail therapy
goes a long way. For this week's highlights, I have not so surprisingly chosen Umbrellas! We
have a very decent selection of umbrellas in store with only a small selection
online. In our “New” category we have just received the Lavish slip-on
sandal by Biza in 3 colours. And for jewellery enthusiasts,
we have the Circle Lariat
by local designer Helen Chan of Lazy Maisie Creates and the adorable Pinecone
earrings by Squamish designer Justine Brooks.
As the season is changing, so are our store hours... We're now open in the
Whistler village on Sunday-Thursday from 10 am - 7 pm and on Fridays
and Saturdays from 10 am - 8 pm! Our online store
is always available so you can also shop all of our new arrivals,
jewellery, handbags, footwear, blankets, gifts, sales, anytime and at your
leisure!
