Vintage Aprons for Spring!

A great stash of THE CUTEST vintage aprons has just arrived at Relish! I've just come back from a weekend to visit my mom and sister, where we always do some serious vintage shopping. Here's a little peak, but you have to come in and see these to really appreciate them...

See you all soon!

Facelift!

Relish is getting a facelift! Last weekend, Ilya and I started on the first coat of paint for Relish's new cheery storefront.



just getting started...



I'm admiring our work



isn't it bad luck to stand underneath a ladder? whoops!



ilya is hard at work



we are SO almost done! and poor Ilya had the crappy job of climbing the ladder a thousand times. and in flip-flops, too!

Stay tuned - only 2 or 3 more coats of paint to go! And yes, the door will be painted as well. Anyone have any colour suggestions?

And The Work Continues...

Because of all the work I'll be doing at the shop this week to prep for Art Crawl, postings will be a little light this week, but I wanted to update you all on the work I've done so far.

I realize this photo is not that impressive, but you have to know that it took me 2 entire days to put 2 coats of paint on these banisters! They could probably use a 3rd coat, but for sanity reasons, I'm stopping here! Today's project is to actually get started on wall painting.

Wish me luck!
