Fun in the Sun

April 15, 2026

We've had some gorgeous weather this week and it's keeping us so inspired and full of energy! It feels so good to walk around Rotary Square, soaking in the sunshine and chatting with our outdoor farmer's market vendors, then coming inside for a cup of tea with friends in our sunny mezzanine. A springtime daydream, am I right? 💛
Whether you’re soaking in the sunshine, stocking up on seasonal market finds, or grabbing a bite from your favourite vendor, there’s plenty to look forward to this week. Keep reading for all the delicious details! 👇

Gemstone Collection Feature: Adorn by Pree

Adorn yourself with beautiful gemstone inspired jewelry, handmade with love by our very own Praneeta at Adorn by Pree. 🔹 Wear these one-of-a-kind pieces in the sun and the flecks of gold will catch the light in the most beautiful way!

These also make the perfect Mother’s Day gift, if you’re thinking ahead — after all, mom deserves the very best! 😉💎
