EXPLOSIVE EVENTS! Special Guest Artist & Grand Opening!

Honestly you guys, things are happening at The Pickle that you do NOT want to miss!  Wonder what we're concocting over here?  

Special Guest Artist - Nathalie Metivier from Magenta Style!
Well last week I mentioned that we have a special guest artist coming in from Magenta Style.  Magenta Style is a Confidently Canadian rubber stamp company who has been in business since the early 90's.  We have been carrying Magenta rubber stamps in our store since day one.  Their designs are versatile and offer a very wide range of imagery suitable for any occasion and the quality of their product is second to none!

Nathalie made a special appearance a couple of years ago when I was going through some changes at the store.  It was also during that same time that Jen was just starting Homebaked Kitchen.  Many beautiful things have developed and happened since then.....I am BACK in our dream space.  Nathalie has grown and developed as an artist and Jen now has a storefront and has developed the confidence and skills to wow you.  Trust me when I say Nathalie's MAGENTA classes will be magical this year!

Here are the details!  Click on the photos to see these cards in detail.  Cards will also be in the store in the next couple of weeks for your viewing pleasure!

Anyone who attends these Magenta classes will be in for some special treats!  There will be a wonderful assortment of gourmet desserts from none other than Homebaked Kitchen Company!  Nice beverage will also be provided (both cold and warm).  We will be doing a special draws at the end of each class.  Who knows?  There maybe other fun things too!  You know we love to treat our customers here!

Trunk Show
Nathalie and her husband will be bringing lots of great stamps for your shopping pleasure.  I will let you know when the shopping will be available once we get closer to the date!

Additional Details
I should mention that seating is limited for these two class and they will fill up.  You can call to register or stop by the store during store hours.  Please NO EMAILS or facebook messages. You will be required to pay for your class by no later than October 11.  If you cannot make the class for some reason after paying, it will be your responsibility to find a replacement.  I'm sorry but absolutely no refunds will be given.

So what do you think?  I know I am SO pumped!

Grand Opening Celebration
We would like to extend a special invitation to you (and your closest 50 friends ha!) to join us THIS Saturday for our grand opening celebration!  We will be open from 10-5 so stop in and check out the new digs.  There will be draws, taste testing and more!  Vicky, who opened the boutique next door also has her grand re-opening planned for this same day.  44 Fourth Street will be HOPPING!
