Here at the shop we’ve been busy travelling and searching for new artists to bring into the shop.

This year my husband and I traveled to Newfoundland. We had a wonderful time but so far have not had any luck finding something from that province that will fit in our shop.  We did find one fabulous artist, but his art was large and very focused on the culture and history of Newfoundland. (Pictured) So we’ll continue our search!

More locally however, we have new products from Marie Joel Turgeon of Quebec. Last year we featured her beautifully made birdbaths, and have now added her lovely pottery flowers for the garden as well some organic looking pears to decorate the indoors. Lovely.
