Life is a journey and not one we are on alone. We each need to look after ourselves but at the same time it is just as important that we reach out to help others. Owning your own business is such hard work yet such a privilege. I believe this privilege gives you a platform for change. Daily at TPH, our focus is helping others create a beautiful life. Every holiday season since we have opened in Downtown Langley we have reached out and given back to our community from our first year in collecting coats for the homeless, to our Chairs for Charity Event, to our collections and sponsoring of families through the Langley Christmas Bureau. We even had incredible support in our Shoes for Haiti collection in 2010. This was all possible thanks to our gracious customers. This year we are honored to be a part not only of the Downtown Langley Businesses “Give Back” campaign, but also the collection of funds to help our TPH team member Linda build a classroom in Haiti.

Please watch the following video that Linda has made to learn more about this project and how your $5 donation can contribute to make a difference in this community. Together, our $5 donations purchase not only the bricks to build this school, but to build a stronger, healthier and more educated world.

“Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world.”

-Nelson Mandela

This holiday season let’s all create beautiful lives for ourselves and others.

Thank you

Carrie

“Have you ever heard of a vision board? A visual representation of your visions for the future, pictures of your goals and dreams. Today, I am so excited to share with you that one of those dreams on my board became reality. For years I’ve had a brochure for Habitat for Humanity pinned to my vision board with no idea what this might look like, but I knew that I wanted to be a part of… to help others “Create a Beautiful Life,” said Thachuk.

20 tickets are available for the event, which will allow people to makeover one of the beautiful furniture pieces currently for sale at Habitat with the globally recognized Chalk Paint ™ by Annie Sloan. Along with of one of The Passionate Home paint experts, participants will recreate a piece of furniture into a show stopper. The masterpieces will be judged by celebrity judges and go up for sale with all proceeds going towards the construction of partnership homes.  All sales are open to the public.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the community or plan a team building exercise, as well as to shop at Habitat the day of the event and take home a one-of-a-kind creation. Thanks to the sponsorship of Tara Gentles, Mortgage Expert DLC Canadian Mortgage Experts, the event will also include a free kid’s sign making workshop, led by one of our TPH staff to encourage and guide your young artists using Chalk Paint™.

Established in 2003, the Passionate Home is located in the quaint McBurney Plaza area of Downtown Langley, British Columbia. The shop is filled with re-purposed, vintage and chic one-of-a-kind furniture and home decor pieces with a touch of French Country that delights clients with whimsical charm. Nestled among the custom, restyled furniture pieces are also giftware by local artisans, jewellery designers, luxurious soaps and lotions, original artwork and vintage flea market finds.

Habitat for Humanity ReStores are home and building supply stores that accept and resell quality new and used building materials. Shopping at a Habitat ReStore is a socially and environmentally conscious decision, as funds generated are used to fund local Habitat for Humanity home building projects and much of what is sold, is product that is new, gently used or customer returns would otherwise end up in a landfill.

See you there!

Have you ever heard of a vision board? A visual representation of your visions for the future, pictures of your goals and dreams. Today I am excited to share with you that one of those dreams on my board have become a reality. For years I have had a brochure for Habitat for Humanity pinned to my vision board. When I pinned it there, I had no idea what this might look like but I knew that I wanted to be a part of improving the lives of others, to creating happy, safe homes for others…to help others “Create a Beautiful Life”.

I don’t remember what it was specifically that sparked this particular idea but I was sharing the idea of teaming up with Habitat with a lifelong friend and low and behold she knew someone who knew someone and my idea came to life!

I met with Jeanette Martin, Building Service Coordinator and Fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity Upper Fraser Valley and together we have created “The Passionate Restore”!

First of its kind, The Passionate Restore is a unique event. On April 21st, there will be only 20 tickets available allowing people to makeover one of the beautiful furniture pieces currently for sale at Habitat with the globally recognized Chalk Paint ™ by Annie Sloan. With the assistance of one of The Passionate Home paint experts, you will be guided on how to recreate your piece of furniture into a show stopper worthy of raising the much appreciated funds to contribute to building homes in the Upper Fraser Valley. Once finished, masterpieces will be judged by three celebrity judges and will go up for sale with all proceeds going towards the construction of partnership homes.

This is a great opportunity to give back to the community or plan a team building exercise, as well as to shop at Habitat the day of the event and take home a one of a kind creation. Thanks to the sponsorship of Tara Gentles, Mortgage Expert DLC Canadian Mortgage Experts, the event will also include a free kid’s sign making workshop.
