Our First Few Days...

So we have been open for 4 days now and things are going really well. We have had such great response from the community and visitors. We still find it hard to believe that this is our store. We have been so busy with finding new and exciting vendors that the time is flying by.. its soon going to back to school time..WOW!

Lets see, which vendors have we not shown or mentioned yet. Lets start at the beginning...We have Carol our knitter and doll lady...she has crafted some funky cats and these great Amish dolls....and yes we know they have no faces...haha..The Amish want the children to use their imagination and create their own. We have received many compliments on these guys already!

Next we have Marilyn our hand painted everything vendor. She is so talented and can paint on just about anything, from garden stones, milk pitchers, bowls, wine glasses and even old windows. My personal favorite are the wild roses she painted below...are they not amazing?



Ohhh one my other favorites is the Happy Hippy, Quinn. She has such a great eye for making jewelry from the color of the beads and rope to the unique use of seeds. Her work makes you stop and look ...even if its not your style! The other great thing about Quinn's work, is the price !

We also have a wonderful couple by the name of Isabella and Cyril. Isabella writes books, and we have some in our store for sale. She has written a book on the history of agriculture in Hastings county, as well as the search for Gold in El Dorado. As well Cyril her husband has some terrific Maple Syrup and his candies melt in your mouth.




Well as you can imagine I could list vendors and pictures all day...however I need to get back to work. If you haven't had the chance to stop by our store, please do, I think you will be pleasantly surprised! In our next few posts we will be sure to include more pictures and information about the MANY kinds of vendors we have so you can truly get a feel for the talented local people we are working with. We hope to soon be featuring a VENDOR OF THE WEEK on here, where we showcase one vendor and their product. I think this will give everyone a better understanding of just how rich this community is in talent and creativity, and just how many beautiful handcrafted products we carry!

It is our hope that one day soon the community will consider us the place to go if you want something unique and well made for any occasion. Its hard in Deseronto to find gifts for all ages and occasions...but hopefully not for long!

Thanks again for checking in! Now back to the fun part..finding more vendors to help us fill the store!
