We’re a Hidden Gem!

We had the rare and enjoyable opportunity to be featured as a hidden gem on our local radio station! It’s always fun for us to be discovered as a new place to shop, eat and hang out! Listen to our interview.​

Thank you to everyone who came to our Open House last weekend, all the little ones and especially the Potter Gang because man, they know how to live it up! 🙂 

There are so many new booths, and additions to the store we can barely keep up. We’ve upload a massive crate full of images to our google page- If you want to have a grand puruse you can do that right here!​

Enter our in-store contest to win a car full of your favourite peeps on route to MAGIC OF LIGHTS @ Longwoods Conservation Area and a $50 gift card to BrickYard Restaurant to keep everyone full and happy while they view the lights! The draw will take place mid December.

Here’s our other contest winner Gabrille White from our last contest this fall for a $150 dollar day trip. Doesn’t she look happy? We’re so happy she’s happy!

Winners of the Perfect Day Trip!

 hope you’re coping with the time change.  Wasn’t the time change supposed to end in Ontario? I am trying to ignore it without success. Every single night it’s a shock all over again! Is it also for you? WHAT THE HECK? haha

Because we are clouded in darkness for a few weeks I thought – you know what the world needs- Not just one winner for our Perfect Day Trip Prize Package but TWO! So that’s what we did. We’ve picked a winner from our FB entries and another one from our Instagram Entries. The winners of a $50 gas gift card, $50 to BrickYard Antique Market and $50 to Brickyard Restaurant are Johanna Richards (pictured below) and Gabrielle White. We’re so happy to make you happy! Congratulations to you both and a big thank you to everyone who entered.

Didn’t win? Don’t fret… Stay tuned for a new in-store-only contest starting next week! fa la la la la

We are all loving this simple natural look and a real throwback to what was. The girls did a fantastic job on this primitive display, didn’t they? The second it snows (Ummm, right this second by the looks of it) I’m all in for holiday decorating! Who’s with me?

Just like last year, in partnership with many other local businesses, we are collecting non-perishables and new unwrapped toys. There is a big box right up front inside the store as well as under our tree where you can drop them off the next time you come in. 

We are already impressed with the funds donated by you to our local Caring Cupboard (Food Bank) every single month! Last year was a huge success and with your help, we can do it again!! The need has only increased.

And SAVE THE DATE we hope to see you at our Holiday Open House November 18th-20th.

Morbidity at it’s Finest!

I hope you’re having a spooktacular weekend! Watch out for those ghosts, they’re everywhere! Last night I was watching the fun, campy and silly show GHOSTS on Prime. On the last episode of the first season, I said: “Did they make a second season?” 

I think so replied my husband, it’s pretty low budget.

“Yeah,” I said, “There are only two main characters and the rest are ghosts.” 

For a second I was serious, and then I burst out laughing. Boy, I guess my buy-in on the cast of ghosts was pretty REAL to me. I nearly died laughing at myself. Success on their end though!

We have lots of ghosts around here too. 14 year old me would be in here for a slumber party seance pronto. Plain old me would never intentionally be alone in the store late at night, because of the groundskeeper who died on site and the old restless lady in section three… She only gets upset when you make changes to the building though. Whew!

I nearly died laughing as well, when this lovely customer bought this pretty tin for… Guess what? Her ashes someday! There was some discussion on how big of a box you would need. I don’t think she is going to have to worry about that for a long time. I hope!

Others piped up with knowing someone who had their ashes in a Mr. Peanuts Jar because he loved nuts. Maybe if you sold Tupperware you’d demand to be put in nothing but the latest plastic container, I dunno. What comes to mind for you if you dare?

Thank you Kara for lighting up our feed as always!

Need a last-minute costume! We’ve got it!

Our Seasonal Blend!

Merry Halloween! The line between Christmas and Halloween just keeps getting blurrier and blurrier. We can all try to be resistant to the fact that Christmas starts earlier every year, but I can only blame myself for turning directly on my heel every time I see a ceramic Santa (insert your Christmas lust item of choice here) no matter what the calendar says! Wheeee! 

What a wonderful blend of Christmas and Halloween together. Santa doesn’t look too sure about it all, but his time is coming. 😉 Tons of Christmas decorations and gifts have just arrived!

Enjoy the last of the fall colour! Every chance I get, I am out in the woods just to see how it has changed from yesterday. Those leaves are gorgeous and smell fantastic- I cannot get enough of them!

New: A Delicious Chili Cheese FootLong Hot Dog on a HomeMade Bun!

Thankful For You (and Beer!)

The seasons are changing and the leaves are falling!

With that comes pumpkin spice, everything nice, warm sweaters and lattes! Good-ness I LOVE this weather!

There’s so much to look forward to… Thanksgiving, Halloween and Octoberfest. 

We’ve got old barrels, steins galore, tumblers, shot glasses, old bottles of every kind including Labbats, Canadian and Coors.

We’ve even got an old whiskey wagon set, complete with horse and carriage. You would definitely look pretty serious with that on the bar mantle!

Classic beer pulls: We have many kinds (sorry they don’t come with any beer!) and that’s just some of the fixings for a certain kind of easy-going feast where the brown ale is a flow’n.

Happy Thanksgiving! 

It’s our 4-year anniversary if you can believe it!! A big Thank you to all of our amazing magical vendors with a nose for collecting and curating like no other! Thank you for working so hard to keep the store fresh and fun! We couldn’t have such an eclectic fun place without you!

Thank you to all of our happy customers. It has been a real blessing to get to know you over the years. We are the luckiest girls around and we are so happy to have met each and every one of you! Keeping coming in to say hello! 

​

We don’t have beer but we have milkshakes!


Show this coupon (on a device or printed out) for a $5 Pumpkin Flavoured Milkshake while Quantities last. Offer expires on October 16th. We reserve the right to limit quantities.

Looking forward to seeing you in between all that eating and gathering.

We’re giving away a shopping day worth $150.00! Woo HOO!

GOOD LUCK!

Keep On Learning (without punishment)!

Happy September! A lot of us know someone who is getting ready for back to school this week or maybe you’re even going back yourself. If not – don’t you still have that feeling of needing a new outfit and perhaps a fresh start of some kind, a chance to better your behaviour just a little? Like… eat less ice cream or walk more before it snows (hands up!)… that sort of thing? Those are just the kind of thoughts September and a new school season brings. 

Oh, school, so many rules and chances for betterment and so little time! Remember when getting the strap was a punishment option? I honestly remember them phasing it out when I was in school and the poor child who was the last example (yes a boy). 😬

Behave yourself! How many lashes would you be in for?

Test Your Knowledge

Last week I went to a museum! I do love old houses and so does my daughter, so we took a trip out to the Backus-Page House Museum and had a lovely informative private tour. It’s fascinating that there is so much local history to learn all the time! I thought the house was so beautiful and the stories behind it were full of examples of imperfect human nature. 

​


The Backus-Page House sometimes receives donations that do not come with any information, leaving them to guess what the items might be used for. Do you have any educated guesses on these items displayed? I thought of no one better to ask!​

One Last Yard Sale next week! Saturday Sept 10th @ 10am

Come and Play a While!

If I was ever forced to be in my playroom, a room with strange green carpet in the basement when I was younger, it was because I was told to clean it. Ha! But fun times were had down there with Barbie, Ken and all the others. An explosion of fun! Kind of like this…

Woo hoo! I hope everyone is secretly getting along after hours when we leave the shop! 😉

The Hibiscus flowers are in bloom here! One of my favorite bits of a lingering summer. There are still a few spots available for our Yard Sale this Saturday August 27th @ 10 am. Give us a call in advance to hold your space to sell, or it’s free to shop. Looking forward to seeing you!
