A BIG HIT with Martinis and Manicures!
With tickets sold out well in advance, Oseredok's Martinis and Manicures fundraiser July 21st at Boa Lounge in Winnipeg was a huge success! After all, where else would you be able to get a manicure, have a martini (or two), spend significant chat-time with girlfriends, and shop for beautiful jewellery?
Congratulations, and "thank you" to the organizers and volunteers who made this a special evening!
See you at the next one!
Happiness is a pot of gold...
After making all those women happy at the Martini and Manicure event, Oseredok went on to make 31 people even happier, with the Pot of Gold Raffle!
President of the Board of Directors Christina Semaniuk, Executive Director Sophia Kachor, Executive Assistant Bohdana Bashuk, Nadia Kmet, and a representative of the Manitoba Gaming Control Commission officiated over the draw.

A blue and yellow Woodstock....
...and immediately on the heels of our Pot of Gold draw, Oseredok Boutique went into high gear, loading up the wagons for the annual trek to that Ukrainian festival of festivals, that uniquely Ukrainian Woodstock - Canada's National Ukrainian Festival in Dauphin, Manitoba!
To say it was "fun" is an understatement! Oseredok's "дівчата" - Bohdana, Pat, Linda, Michelle, and Michelle's little hedgehog "Epic" - spent three days shmoozing, dancing (mostly to Oleh Skrypka's version of "Ти з любови собі не жартуй"), singing, and, of course, selling wonderful embroidery, caps, t-shirts, and jewellery to festival-goers from across Canada (well, mostly from the prairie provinces...some from Ontario...and even a Crimean Tatar from Weyburn, Saskatchewan!).
A great big "Дякую, дівчата"!

Get your Ukrainian on!
The festival season in Winnipeg is still going strong during Folklorama! So it's time to "get your Ukrainian on" with a new traditional embroidered blouse or shirt, contemporary embroidered tops, and embroidered t-shirts, hoodies, and Trypyllian caps!
PLUS! Oseredok Boutique just received in stock a book that would make Martha Stewart green with envy!
UKRAINIAN STYLE - by Linda Wicklund and Alecia Stevens celebrates village life and brings it home!
The book is filled with beautiful interior design and culinary ideas, and is a must for those interested in having their homes "put their Ukrainian on" in a contemporary/country style.
Oseredok Ukrainian Cultural and Educational Centre and Oseredok Boutique are open Monday through Saturday from 10am to 4pm, and Sunday from 1 - 4pm!
P.S....
Your friendly blog-meister is leaving for holidays, and will be back to fill you in on all the happenings at Oseredok at the beginning of September!
