I have said it before and I will say it again; Colour Me Mine is as romantic as it gets for couples because they not only share intimate time with each other, but also get to see the result of the date a week or two later after picking up the finished pieces.
This is how it works:
- Walk into any one of three locations in Calgary
- Find a ceramic piece (or two) to paint
- Get a quick introduction session and a few extra tips on how it all works
- Paint, paint, and paint some more
- Dry, then give finished pieces with store clerk to be picked up a week or two later
Every Colour Me Mine has over 100 different ceramic pieces including heart shaped plates, heart indented coffee mugs, and a plethora of other useful household objects that can just as easily be covered in painted hearts!
How about a new picture frame for those special moments this V-Day custom painted by you and your lover? There's no better way to decorate your place with a splash of romanticism!
