PROVIDE'S IDS WEST DEBUT AT THE VANCOUVER CONVENTION CENTRE

IDS West opened last night at the Vancouver Convention Centre and Provide had an amazing reception as people dropped by to view our debut display and converse. We met some great new people and had a chance to reconnect with friends at this terrific event that we are very excited to be a part of. The show runs until Sunday at 5pm and promises to be Western Canada's premier event for home decor and design – featuring fabulous speakers such as Ross Lovegrove, Omer Arbel and Suzzane Dima Editor of House & Home magazine.

At the show we are featuring some new product from Catherine Regehr, Rina Menardi, Martha Sturdy, Eskayel and Christian Woo (who is just right around the corner from us where he is showcasing a beautiful new kitchen design. If you are in Vancouver, we hope that you drop by our booth to say hi.

LEATHER BOXES FROM PROVIDE IN THE NEW ISSUE OF HOUSE & HOME

We at Provide where very excited to see these beautiful leather boxes by Oscar Maschera in the new House & Home magazine. A big thanks to everyone involved for including us in this great issue. Speaking of which, the October issue of House & Home is full of great fall decorating and design ideas – I especially love Editor Suzanne Dimma's "off-the-grid" getaway. That editorial is going in my file for inspiration for my own weekend retreat (coming some day?).

THE SIMPLE BEAUTY OF DAFF FELT BOXES

Provide has just received a new shipment of DAFF Felt from Germany. Multi-functional and beautiful at the same time, these boxes are made from the highest quality merino wool felt. For the fall season at Provide, we have introduced two new colours: eggplant and midnight available in the boxes in various sizes. In addition, we are also stocking square and round coasters in these two colours.

Also pictured are two hugely popular colours from DAFF: berry (top) and charcoal melanage (bottom) that continue to sell out in the boxes, coasters, placemats and bags. Also, look for the fun i-Phone and i-Pad covers that keep your devices safe from harm and make amazing gifts!

DAVID BURNS "MODELS ON A RUNWAY" PAINTINGS COME TO LIFE

Artist David Burns's work, on view at Provide, has had an incredible reception from everyone walking through our doors. Above are some rather steamy shots taken by photographer Chris Haylett utilizing David's "Models on a runway" series in an interesting juxtaposition of "real" life and a painted image. The shots where part of an editorial titled "Heat Wave" in Zink Magazine. Model Kate Bock of Lizbell Agency looks absolutely stunning next to David's beautiful and dramatic paintings. Provide has some new "Models" on view, so visit us at the store or on our website to have look.
