It’s winter in Alberta. Therefore it is cold…or not, It’s windy… or not, and it’s snowing, or raining… or not. One thing that we can count on is that we are probably not getting a lot of sun, unless we succumb to the siren song of the southern latitudes. In which case I highly recommend the liberal application of Aloe Vera (have you noticed that the colours of our Canadian flag are an exact match for the tan lines of many Canadian tourists who have just tried to soak up six months of sunshine in a ten day beach vacation). The point of this narrative is that the days here are short and gray, but we have a remedy for the malady.

We at Wall Décor and More have just finished inventory and have found that our bins are full to bursting with mats! We have hundreds of mats in a rainbow of colours and we would like to share the wealth with our "Colour Your Winter" promotion.

For the month of February, on any full framing project we will include any of our in stock mats for FREE. That’s right, bring us that image or object that you have been waiting to frame and we will add a riot of colour at no extra charge. After all, wouldn’t you rather drift into that vivid holiday memory that’s hanging on the wall than stare out the window at another predictably unpredictable Alberta winter day. Hurry in, this offer ends February 28th.

Here it is February and Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. It’s odd how unprepared many of us are for an event that shows up on the same day of the same month every year. The big box stores try to help us out by putting candy hearts on the shelves starting mid-January. Still it seems that right about February 13 panic sets in and it becomes clear that once again Cupid is peeking around the corner armed with a quiver full of mediocrity. You know that he/she deserves better than a box of chocolates and a dozen roses, he/she means the world to you. Besides he/she is on a diet, and those beautiful flowers will be producing landfill methane in less than two weeks.
Hand Carved Kissi Stone from Zimbabwe and Kenya

May we humbly suggest an alternative? Perhaps a symbol of love carved in stone from Kenya or Zimbabwe or a beam of light captured by the hand-blown glass globes from Kitras. OR if you really want to knock it out of the park, how about taking some of your sweetheart’s favorite things or favourite memories and turning them into an art piece that will remind them what a great, thoughtful and romantic catch you are for years to come. It would be our greatest pleasure to help you become significant other of the year.
