To all of our Mother's here on earth and all those who have gone before us - it is your upcoming special day and we honour you with love and thoughtfulness.

If you pick up this newsletter this morning or into mid afternoon - I'll be in the air flying back to Toronto from a lovely vacation time away.

Happy Newsletter Thursday one and all. I'm afraid this one is going to be short and sweet. I'm on vacation (yes somewhere hot and sunny and so long overdue) but I'm having issues with my WiFi connection. So before I lose it entirely ...

Is it spring? Is it winter? WHAT the heck is going on? I spent 2 days over the past weekend in the back yard and then bam ... snow came a day later. I knew we weren't out of the clear yet but seriously?!

We are so sorry to inform you that this coming SUNDAY both our stores will be closed. Toronto Hydro is having us shut down all of our systems for the entire day while they replace equipment in and around our store. To say that I'm not happy about this is putting it rather mildly.
