My friend Dave was in the store today visiting … and while we were chatting a woman walked in wearing a real fur scarf. 🙁

I was so dumbfounded by what she was wearing (do people really still wear fur?) that I was rendered speechless. Unsure what to say … I let her continue to shop while I tried to think of what I could say. She left before I got the chance…

I have a No/Fur sticker on my window and it’s clearly marked that my store is a Vegan Boutique but I think a lot of people see all the cute dresses in the window and come in because of that. Which is EXACTLY what I wanted when I opened the store… So I could educate, motivate and inspire people who are curious about a vegan lifestyle.

I don’t know why I was so flummoxed by the fur scarf … but I was. So I asked my friends on Facebook what they thought I should have said to her (besides YOU ARE WEARING A DEAD ANIMAL AROUND YOUR NECK!! GET OUT OF MY STORE!) and Melissa Fowler had a great way to approach her

“You could tell her that you appreciate her coming in and hand her an anti-fur pamphlet. You could then tell her that you would prefer to not have fur in your store but that she is welcome back anytime, without it.“

…Beautifully said Melissa.

Speaking of fur … have you seen this movie? It’s so well done.

Floating Gold Iceburg just dropped off some adorable items to Sarah’s Place.

Hand-printed greeting cards – 3 different designs to choose from.

She also dropped off some hand-printed Tea Towel set … so adorable. One cotton. One flannel. This set is a perfect gift for yourself or a kitchy kitchen friend.

Both are available at Sarah’s Place (533 Pandora). If you can’t make it into the store – you can always order online HERE. I ship world-wide.  🙂

… wear leopard leggings!

These are labeled as “one size” … which is ridiculous as there is no such thing as “one size” but they are very stretchy.

The leggings are a stretchy poly-blend and the elastic waist will stretch up to 17 inches wide – which is about 34 inches around.

Come down to Sarah’s Place (533 Pandora Ave) and try them on or order them online HERE.

CBC Music asked me to make a couple of playlists for them …

Hey Kids
My friend Dave (from Friends of Animals) and I are trying to organize a Vegan Festival for this summer and we’d love your help!!

On Wed Feb 15th we are having a meeting at Green Cuisine (6pm) to discuss a possible Victoria Vegan Fair (for the end of July) but we need to gauge how many volunteers we can count on to help us pull this off.  🙂

We will also be discussing the plans for the 3rd Annual World Vegan Bake Sale Day (on April 29th).

I hope you can make it!!
See you tomorrow!

Sarah’s Place just got in the most beautiful necklace!! The rare and wonderful Decorus globosa, plucked and strung for you to treasure.

This beauty hangs on a delicate, hand oxidized chain of solid brass measuring 56cm (22 in) in length from clasp to end. The bulb flower hangs about 4cm (1 1/2 in)from the chain which is finished with a lobster clasp. The whole piece was constructed of solid, nickel free brass.

I only have 3 of these in stock. Don’t miss out! Purchase HERE.
