For all the Mamas out there

On Sunday, November 30 Chick Pea Children’s Boutique opens its doors to your family and Santa. Revival Arts Studio will be in house to do mini-sessions for your kids, about 10 minutes long. Just enough time to keep the kids focused while they snap away to capture a traditional shot with Santa, and add some extra frames of just your kids you can preview in an online gallery later.

Here are the details:

Reserve now: Reserve your time between 11am-1pm, or drop-in 1pm-3pm at Chick Pea. Call 604.525.2266, email, or let them know you’ll drop in during the afternoon so they know how many people to expect.

What you get: 1 5×7 semi-saturated print of your best shot and a link to a photo gallery where you can order additional shots directly from Revival Arts Studio

What it costs: A $20 donation, all proceeds will go to Free The Children, supporting primary education for children around the world

Chickpea is a wonderful one-of-a-kind boutique nestled between antique shops on New Westminster’s Front Street (613). Owner Sarah Hoivik moved into the location at the start of 2007 and after many months of restoration, this once abandoned space is now home to a vintage-inspired high-end kids clothing shop complete with exposed brick walls, original wooden beams and concrete floor. In this wonderful, heritage space you’ll find Small Paul, Wonderboy Clothing, and the Sand Cassel Kids line by Goorin Hats, as well as Tea Collection Bedding and Cribnotes cards, to name a few.

“I just believe in it,” says Hoivik of her daring move from her popular Commercial Drive location to New West’s historic Front Street.
