The Winner Is . . .

Kelley is the winner of the Oleander for Home + ecochick Giveaway. She has been notified by e-mail and will soon be enjoying her bucket of lovely Ginger Pomelo goodness.

Thank you to every one who participated and I promise (yet again) that the powers of our mailing list will only be used for good and never evil. I'll keep the mailouts relevant, exciting and worth the time you'll spend reading them.

A big thanks to the fabulous ecochick for coordinating the giveaway. Keep reading her blog! She's informative, funny and likes to give stuff away!

This picture is a dramatic re-enactment of the very low tech, old school style draw we did to pick our winner.

Thanks again!

Oleander + Ecochick = Giveaway!

For my first ever giveaway I'm going to send you the fantastic eco-friendly shopping blog that my friend ecochick writes. In her own words "ecochick is a consumer who's tired of "environmentally friendly" really meaning "expensive, inconvenient and ugly". It's time to make living green mainstream, fun, fresh and cool. Here you will find the latest in trendy, stylish fashion, beauty, home and more - all with the lovely aura of green." All that and she is awesome with the giveaways too! So when Caldrea sent me a bucket of Ginger Pomelo goodness I knew who to call to help me give it away.

Head over to www.ecochick.ca for all the details!

Edited to add: Today (April 9 2010) is the last day to sign up to be eligible for the giveaway. Do it! You could win!

Easter Holiday Hours

With a beautiful forecast for the holiday weekend and lots of great new arrivals in the store I'm looking forward to seeing lots of happy people in the Byward Market this weekend. I'll be open the following hours:

Friday April 2 12-5
Saturday April 3 10-6
Sunday April 4 12-4
Monday April 5 10-6

Now, I've said that I'll be closed on Sunday, but if it's crazy nice out and the Market has been busy on the Friday and Saturday there's a chance that I'll open for a few hours. It would be best to give me a call (613.789.5999) to see if I'll be there, o.k.?

Edited to change the Sunday hours. It's been crazy busy, mostly due to the unbelievable weather we've had, so Oleander will be open from 12-4 on Easter Sunday.
