Catching up with summer

It has been a while since I wrote on the blog.  I realize some of you don't get the newsletter and are not on Facebook, so the blog is the only way you can keep up with what is happening at Urbanity.

The shop is looking pretty.  We replaced the sandwich board with flowers -- it is a little touch of Copenhagen and the little enclave that really needs a bit of pretty. 

I have a new helper, and she does such a wonderful job with the mannequins and the displays.  She uses Karin Wagner's felt flowers creating wonderful little surprises.  I am really enjoying what she does.   I hope Tiffany will stay for a while - but an academic career awaits her so I can only enjoy her presence a month at a time.

We have a guest artist - North Vancouver  painter Catherine Fields' work is colourful and strong.  The work is for sale, and I take no commission - it is my way of supporting local artists.

We still have a nice selection of summer linens, and as a reward to those who bought early hoping for a long summer, I am offering 25% off on an item of a similar value for a few days  -- July 14 - 18.

More flowers are coming from Swiss artist Karin Wagner. Karin's beautiful flowers and garlands are a way to make a favourite casual dress festive for a wedding, or other special event.  We are proud to carry her work.


We are waiting or more linen pants and tunics from Cut Loose (apparently stuck at the border)....and lots of other summer products.

I am thrilled that an Oleana blanket appears in the August edition of
Chatelaine. The blanket adorns a sofa of a Quebec home, and is shown on two pages.  Do you know the design number of this blanket?  You might have to look at the second image where the design is unmistakable!

We are proud that Urbanity is a favourite shop for people visiting Vancouver from afar.  Make Urbanity your favourite, and tell your friends.
