SALLY MORSE IS COMING BACK!

Thursday, April 19th, 2012

 

Ruffell & Brown Interiors  are so excited to be bringing Sally Morse back to Victoria! She is a dynamic international interior designer, TV personality and author who will present her “Magic of Threes in Design” seminar from 7:00 to 9:00 p.m. on May 29th in our showroom at 2745 Bridge Street. This seminar is a fact-filled session that points out the many times the number three is used in design rules. With information she gathered from major European design shows including Maison et Objet, Heimtextil, Decosit, and La Biennel, Sally will also show this year’s hottest home furnishings trends and how they can be adapted for the Canadian homeowner.

A frequent guest on HGTV, Sally’s work has been featured in Women’s Day, Better Homes and Gardens and Windows & Walls magazines, and she recently co-authored a book on window coverings and has written many articles on interior design, color and trends. Her “Ask Sally” column can be found on the Hunter Douglas website.

All proceeds will benefit the Victoria Women’s Transition House.

Refreshments and Nanaimo Bars starting at 6:30 p.m.!

MANY HANDS MAKE LIGHT THE WORK.

This week is a dedicated to recognition of volunteers in Canada. At Victoria Women’s Transition House we honour each of the volunteers who have devoted many hours to support women and children who face the difficult issue of abuse in their lives. Our volunteers play with children, answer the crisis line, cook and bake, clean and organize, speak in the community, bake, pick up and sort donations, offer their specialized skills such as yoga or massage. Last year volunteers contributed about 130 volunteers contributed over 7500 hours.

Our volunteers go through an extensive training program – to quote one volunteer “I learned so much about this provocative issue and enjoyed the deep discussions and activities!” If you are interested in joining our volunteer team, call Dianne at 592-2927 ext 222 or see the volunteer section of the website transitionhouse.net
