The TIMES they are a changin' - NEW HOURS FOR la TaDa!

as an artist & woman in business I would like to thank all my amazing customers & students who have encouraged me & supported la TaDa! Unfortunately business has not been as I had hoped & prayed for. We have become more like a museum than a shop so now Miss Laura has to find a day job. Instead of closing up shop completely we are going to try reduced hours till the end of this year and revisit the situation then.

So starting next week the new shop hours will be:
Wednesday 12noon to 6pm
Friday 12noon to 6pm

I thank God for my sweet Mom, Norma & great friend, Maureen who have graciously offered to work those days so I can work a day job.

For anyone needing paint & supplies outside of the new shop hours please ring me at 403-393-1525 & we can set a time to meet at the shop. I will also do my best to accommodate "by appointment shopping".

I am still hopeful that business will pick up & we can return to regular hours or even better be able to open 6 days a week :) 

My dream is to continue to grow & evolve la TaDa! I hope to someday carry even more amazing DIY supplies & become one of the prettiest & most inspiring vintage decor shops in southern Alberta.

Thanks again for all your support! it has meant the world to me!

Miss Laura

& FUN! was had by all

I'd like to thank Kathy for flying out to "lil old Coaldale" to share her amazing wealth of knowledge with us at the first of many more la TaDa! workshops.










I would also like to thank all the lovely ladies who joined us for our very first workshop weekend. Thanks so much for supporting la TaDa! (one of your local "brick & mortar" shops.) "Brick & mortar" shops are very much in danger of extinction in Canada so we greatly appreciate your support. It will be because of fabulously supportive people like you that we hope to always have interesting, unique local shops available to us and won't be stuck with only big box & online shopping, what a boring world that would be. 

I look forward to seeing everyone's future projects now that you have the techniques & knowledge under our belt. Please make sure to email me your before & after pics so I can post them so your work can inspire others & encourage them that they too can create beautiful pieces with a little bit of training, practice & confidence.

MERRY CHRISTMAS & HAPPY NEW YEAR!


I would like to wish everyone a wonderful holiday season, Merry Christmas & Happy New Year! It has been such a dream come true opening la TaDa! in March of 2012 and even though I've been busier than I've ever been in my life I'm so thankful to everyone who has supported la TaDa! I'd also like to give a special thank you & God bless to my parents who have helped me so much. Also a shout out to my sis Tammy & her Rick as well as some great friends, Cynthia, Suzen, Doris, Val & Pam who have
been so supportive.

I have been super busy in my imagination station to come up with new ideas to create just for you & can't wait to hit the studio in the coming months to be able to bring you some great new lovelies for your home & life. 

I am also delighted to announce that the lovely Kathy van Gogh will be here Feb.15 & 16 for painting workshops, both beginner & advanced. I'll be posting all the details next week.



Hope to see you soon, all rested & shiny & bubbling over with that "fresh new start of the year" feeling.
