Hello!  It's  MAY long weekend...that long-anticipated weekend when fishing season opens!  Preparation has started weeks ago...cleaning out Campers and Rv's, and making sure Boats & trailers are ready to go. Many of you are likely heading out this long weekend to open up your Camp. It feels good to freshen things up at Camp - add some handmade flannel Camp pillowcases, and tackle that musty scent with our Forest-scented Balsam & Cedar diffuser. Our No-see-um and Mosquito nets are a must. Don't forget to cover up in our Camo leggings, the ticks are already out.

We are OPEN this May long weekend,
Wed. 11-5, Thurs. 12-5. Fri. 11-5. Sat. 11-5 Sun. 12-5. Closed on Monday.

Extra blankets and pillows are a must...the air is still chilly. This is a classic Lake colour scheme - Navy blue, sunshine yellow and Cottage white. In stock now at our store.

Spring project DIY: Updating your Floor.
A quick way to update your floor is to paint it with Serenity Cottage Paint. Here we started out with 1/4" automotive tape on a cement floor, basecoated with Serenity CP in the colour Lichen, stencilled a Coral motif, then finished with Cottage Paint satin varnish. You can sweep up dirt easily, and mop with water and dishsoap.

Spring project DIY: Updating your Doors. 
Tired of your wooden doors? Just paint them with Serenity Cottage Paint...choose from a palette of 58 colours. Lightly scuff up doors, clean with Cottage Paint Clean ' Prep, then use a 10mm microfibre roller to roll on 2 coats. No topcoat needed.

Have a wonderful May long weekend! See you soon!
