Flourishing 111

Flourishing 111

Last year was tough on almost everyone in some shape or form. I, like many other folks, spent a lot of time at home and a lot of time sitting and a lot of time thinking. During the first lock down I did a great job of assessing my space and finally tackling those ‘decor jobs’ I had lingering. It felt like a sort of accomplishment, finally being able to enjoy my home.

I had some areas that needed art and like the homo sapiens that I am, I turned to the internet and fell victim to O P T I O N S! Too many options people! That’s the way of the internet, it can be a blessing and a curse! I looked at so much art. It wasn’t that great of an experience actually. It started to feel like it was impersonal and not genuine at all? I don’t know. I can’t explain it. I wasn’t loving the experience till I narrowed my search a little more. “Only focus on artists from Winnipeg.” Boom, just like that I was able to find this lovely gem!

Christie Peters, artist/designer and old shop manager, made this piece for me. The collection is so beautiful, I want three more! I just told her that I would love yellow in the piece and she took creative license. The result is incredible and to see Flourishing 111 in real life is even more rewarding! The framing is impeccable, and by the size and weight of it, I know I will have this for years to come. Thank you Christie!

Check out margaret jane design, you won’t be disappointed. Trust me.

Remembering Freshair Boutique staff from 20 years ago! 😂😘

20 years ago I was just finishing up hair school and was consumed with becoming a full time hair stylist like my colleagues. It was like being a ‘full time stylist’ was what everyone (that was serious) wanted to become.

As soon as you were out of hair school you would apply at a salon to do your apprenticeship. After 2 years of gruelling and mundane tasks, you get through and are now on the step of becoming a ‘full time stylist’! Making your own schedule and deciding on your pricing, were only some of the perks included with becoming a ‘full time stylist’. 20 years ago.

During the month of November I was challenged with how Remembrance Day gets glazed over. As veterans die, their history and traditions die as well. Remembering and memory, in my opinion, are beautiful luxuries that depend on our own history. I love reminiscing and I do my best to do it often. These photos of each of us at the salon are gentle reminders of where we were 20 years ago.

I really like to take this month to look back and see all the things that have transpired for the good and or the bad. Eventually some of us won’t have the ability to reminisce or recall a memory.

2020 will be the year where we can all share the same memory. We met and were devastated by your friend and mine (drum roll please) brrrrrrrruuuuuup! CORONA VIRUS!! (roaring applause). Please. We all hate her. We will all remember what corona did to us and did for us.

During this second lockdown, and as November comes to an end, I would like to say thank you to all of our clients and friends and family that have supported us so much. Thank you to everyone that shops online, you will not be forgotten. We really appreciate you all!

When we are back up and running, we can talk about all the things that happened to us and all the things that changed us and all the things that forged memories for us. Just think about what memories we can share when corona is behind us.

So in another 20 years from this day, remember to be kind to one another and be positive to humans when you see them. Encounters might not happen for a while.

Lastly, remember when we didn’t know what the word social distancing meant? 😏
