Another ringer of a week- So here's some good news

Another ringer of a week- So here's some good news! Curbside pickups and the Electric City Works Market are still available! 🖤
Lunch takeaway, coffee, pantry, bakery, and local foods are still available to grab and go.
Curbside paint orders are available for pickup, or delivery.
We, again, have re-arranged the store and have many store policies in place to keep everyone safe.
-Please note you cannot bring personal items in the store at this time, being furniture pieces, bedding and swatches for colour matching.
We have colour cards, sticks, and samples to take home to help you choose colours easier.
-We cannot offer lengthy conversations discussing projects or how to's. Yes this is tough when you need to ask questions about the products, but please research before you arrive or place you order here:
Fusionmineralpaint.com

- No opening your phone to show us projects and sliding it under the plexiglass. We cannot hold or touch your personal items. This is not negotiable.

- Masks must be worn at all times, and there's still no exceptions. We are a private business, and have our own store policies. If we (Cancer patients + staff with lung problems) can wear a mask all day YOU can wear it for two minutes.
Don't want to wear a mask?
No problem! We offer deliveries around Peterborough~
Not wanting to wear a mask is not an invitation to argue with retail staff. It's been a year, this is lockdown #3, we're tired of this shit. Wear. a. mask.

Wednesday through Saturday
10-4pm 🌿

Market now open!
Where you'll be able to grab and go local food, made snacks, coffee, beers, wine, sandwiches, soup, and bakery items!

We're happy to share that we are Peterborough's first supplier of @ricelakehardcider , which is a MUST try!
They will be lovely to sip away on when workshops return, and those days will be returning in the future~

A different Kyoto coffee will be featured each day, as well as bakery from the @pastrypeddlermi ! The most delicious pairing I'll add-

You can grab a bag of @benskettlecorn for an afternoon snack, and pair it with one of your favorite local craft beers 🍿🍺

We have a lot more in-store so we are excited to share specials, and new arrivals 🙌

Thursday-Friday-Saturday

Pre-Opening Walkthrough. We'll see you tomorrow for in-store shopping 12-4pm 💚

Please note:
▪️Masks are required. Obviously. It's been a year, this is not a discussion
▪️We are not able to discuss products at length at this time. Please look up online here: Fusionmineralpaint.com or e-mail us hi@chalktherapy.ca if you need some DIY help👍🏽
▪️Please do not bring in personal items/ colour cards from other stores to colour match paint. We have colour cards you are free to take home yourself.
▪️ We cannot look through photos on your phone. Please do not open your phone to show staff projects at this time. We cannot hold your phone, or speak at length to you. This is non-negotiable.
▪️ Please be normal and kind to our staff. We're tired, they're tired, this is a stressful time for small businesses and we just don't need weird customer crap right now-
We're so happy to open the store, although only one side is ready! Can't wait to open fully, hopefully by the weekend!
Tuesday-Friday 11-4pm
Saturday We'll keep you posted!

Little tables need some love too! And Inglenook, they all need Inglenook-
Like I said, I've been obsessed with this colour for this Spring, I just can't paint enough with it!

I'm not sure if it was Brooklynne or Drew who painted these before Christmas, but I found them tucked away, behind all the things we've been working on~
Melissa finalized them and WOW are they ever pretty!
The team has been in the last few days making everything wonderful again, we can't wait to see you all February 16th!

I'm definitely into this colour while I've been painting during this time. When our doors open again, you'll see what I mean~
New spring pieces are filling the store as we're getting closer to seeing everyone soon!

Spring is on the way, and we're prepping the store with some serious new updates!

We took a minute away from social media anything for a bit here... Had to gather ourselves, and had to get through some changes we're making to the store.
I didn't realize how much I put on pause here with all the new messages, so I'm spending the next day or so getting back to everyone ☺️
A lot of questions about the paint kits, and yes! We're definitely still doing them.
I'm looking forward to painting with everyone!
New updates coming soon, as well as a HUGE announcement coming Sunday night 🌿

Window shopping! Shine up them shoes, and take a walk downtown!
(For exercise only of course) and while you're down there, turn your head for some fancy new windows!
New Year, and FINALLY new window display. Our long glassy stretch along Charlotte Street was looking how we've been feeling during this first half of January... Empty and haggard from the holidays-
We're brushing it all away, and new displays have arrived!
All bright freshly painted furniture, vintage finds, and local maker pieces 🖤

You can now see each one of these items in our front window, each with their own QR code to order. They're also up online

Best of, and there's a lot of 'best' this year- Despite what this year has brought, we're still here, strong, with an amazing team we love so much, and amazing local support.
We can't do this without you, we'll all get through this together. I know it's almost eye rolling to hear that at this point, but wholly, it's been a friggen year for us... for all businesses, for families, for everyone-

2021 is going to be a whole new year, but only of we all decide it's going to be.
Let's make it amazing 🖤
