Thank you !!

With selling out of most of our inventory, we have decided to not re-open the shop for business.   So at this time if you are in the area and notice me there it is to clean up and move out a few more items.   


We want to THANK each and every one of you who over the past 6 years has made the effort to make the drive out, stop in, take a browse and support our dream!!!!! You made it all worthwhile!!   So many special conversations and people and places that came through the doors at Wow and Then.   A chapter of my life that I will relish for the rest of my days.  It was my pleasure to serve you and help make your selections whether for gifts, home decor for your home, cottage or for no special reason but JUST BECAUSE!!!   For the travelers from around the globe whom I had the chance to intersect life with, it was my pleasure to have you too stop by .. many treasures have gone abroad and most of all the beautiful memory and scenic visions of our Beautiful Alberta!!!

By no means is the last you will see the name Wow and Then, as we will continue treasure hunting and finding those uniquities to share and help fill your lives with.   You will find us at our first occasional sale at

Making your Home your Sancutuary

What comes to mind when you think of home?  Albeit your own home, home growing up or another's home that brings a sense of comfort and peace.
I'm sure we can all find one or more such places presently or in our memory banks.   For myself, home needs to evoke a place of  destraction(not sure if that's a word but you know what I mean).  Where the distractions of life become distant, where I can put my  feet up and turn it all off.  Using pieces of history whether from within your family  or finds you have incorporated along the way, all help in creating a sense of peace, interest, and comfort.  Sometimes it's just a simple addition of a a treasured piece, like a vintage book, an fun box camera or Gram's old rocking chair that create a sense of history, memory and conversation.  Repurposing has become the buzz word of the day promoting reusing, incorporating and creating.  This gives limitless choices when decorating,  from paint choices and finishes, to discovering small out of the way shops offering a plethora of uniquities to find that one special piece.  

This is a vintage Duncan Fyfe table and 4 chairs that has been redone to give a cottage chic look, it has been  updated and  still retains its function but incorporates the history and integrity of the past.

A Time To Remember

November is already upon us and before you know it Christmas will be here.
This month is one of reflecting on our freedoms and the sacrifices that were made for this generation.  We are forever indebted to those who have given and to those who continue to do so.  

September and part of October were so much like summer it's been a bit hard
to adjust to the snow that now covers everything like a soft white blanket. But knowing Alberta weather we will have spring like days ahead.  

The shop is presently decked out with Holiday decor and music for your shopping pleasure!!  Be sure to make plans to take a drive on a sunny day and spend some time enjoying the beauty that surrounds Longview and stop by for a browse ..

REMINDERS

Reminders are good in so many ways; to meetup with that special someone, to wake up on time, to complete a task, to eat, and to not take that 4 letter word, TIME,  for granted.  To be reminded of time past, of lost time whether past or future is essential in making the best of time in order to live without regret.  In the first 3 weeks of this year I know of so many who have been reminded clearly of the preciousness of time and now the time has run out.   Making, taking and using of time for those we love and put into the places we love makes for everlasting reminders and memories we leave behind.
