Beautiful Domes

You may have admired these beautiful mercury base glass domes in our window display recently at Indie Lulu Living.  These are perfect for displaying and protecting your most beautiful and precious articles from family treasures to our fabulous Okanagan cheeses!

We've chosen to display some of our porcelain pomegranates and paper butterfly garlands inside. What treasure will YOU choose to feature under glass?


The smaller dome is approximately 16 inches tall and complements the larger 20 inch tall one.  


We've a sweet story to share today, seems we had a young shopper in mid-week.  We mustn't say names because this was a very clever young lady who was having some trickery going on with Bridget and Susan. I heard this young girl was shopping with Mum and Dad, one of whom a gift was intended for ( hm, what holiday is fast approaching?), so she had some products being discretely palmed to Sue behind her back so that the lucky family member was unawares.  Could this be Mother's Day sneakery ?  We ♥ this sort of behavior at Indie Lulu Living!  Makes us go Awwww

GREAT Mother's Day Gift Idea - Cedar Mountain Art Blocks

Isn't it nice of us to make your Mother's Day shopping super easy? We bet your Mom does not have a Cedar Mountain Studios Art Block on her wall.  

For sure our staff here are Moms and we know that we sure plan to grace our walls with some of these  exquisite artworks.  

These art blocks are born on Saltspring Island here in British Columbia.  They are handmade of mdf, built up with plaster and applied graphics. Wonderful images and sentiments, words of wisdom and symbols of joy!

Each piece is individually crafted, these art blocks intentionally have a vintage appearance and each one is unique.

Drop in and explore our beautiful wall display - we will be sad to see an empty space on the wall when you leave with a few of these (for Mom AND yourself) but it will allow us to bring in more!  We are located at 8306 Main Street, directly next door to Shoe Biz in downtown Osoyoos.  

Beautiful Greeting Cards for YOUR MOM! (and other occasions)

Mother's Day is coming - SOON!  Indie Lulu Living is here to remind you now because these occasions have a way of sneak up and before you know it... and besides, not only do you want to find that "perfect something" for Mom, but you've got to factor in mailing time.  So we're just sayin'...

First you'll need a pretty greeting card for Mom and we have cards! We have two types of cards, blank all occasion photo greeting cards from a local Osoyoos photographer and then there's our new line of vintage graphic cards by local artist Barbara Derksen.

We are going to focus on the graphic design cards today because we just received Barbara's line of Mother's Day greetings.   We have three different versions which are sure to please Mom - these cards are blank inside, protected by a clear envelope.  We've provided an optional sentiment with double sided tape on the back so you can choose your card to be blank or add the greeting.

You might even consider going the one step further then you're going to desire for your Mom to have this darling memo, photo or card hanger from Lazy Susan so she can display your cards in a place of honour in her home.  

Of course you're wondering about the shelving and vases - the shelving is for display only at this time but these beautiful hand blown seed glass vases are for sale right now and an ideal gift (with a bouquet inside) for your special Mom.  

Stay tuned for tomorrow's feature - Cedar Mountain Studio Art Blocks (you can glimpse them behind the iris in the first photo)

What do you get for the person who "Has It All?"

We all have certain people in our lives - the ones who seem to already "Have It All" - and its really difficult to find that special something that is appealing and would make their lives just a little bit brighter.  Well, we're all about that at Indie Lulu Living!  

We delight in hunting out the most perfect items which will make YOU shine as the perfect gift-giver of all.  We've spent hours researching what is the most unique and brought it all together for you - all you have to do is add a pretty card (we've got gorgeous handmade and photo cards) and wrapping (or may we suggest some of the darling cloth gift bags which just arrived) and off you go! 

What is this little gift?  Why what hostess would not get excited about lighting the candles on that birthday cake with some Wonders of the World boxed matches?  A sweet and affordable touch for you to bring to the party!  

Stay tuned - we will be posting almost daily!  We have a whole lot of shop to show off to you.  

First Post!

What IS Indie Lulu Living?

Named for owner Susan Baldwin's daughters India Beatrice and Lucie Rose,  Indie Lulu Living is a new store located in Osoyoos in the beautiful Okanagan Valley in British Columbia, Canada.  Osoyoos is a little hotbed of activity for our many tourists and Indie Lulu Living was born out of a need for "just our type" of store.

We have been open since March 3 rd, 2012 and are growing and evolving.

When first time visitors arrive we can audibly hear the intake of breath upon some discovery of a treasure dear to the heart or invoking a cherished memory.  Upon departing we're always sure to hear "Your shop is PERFECT for Osoyoos!"

You may want to hit the "Follow" button for our blog because you're going to get a whole lot of inspiration and ideas from our shop in the coming days.  Because our store is "living" it means there will always be something new (or used in the case of vintage) to discover.
