February? Already? Really?

What happened to January?? At this rate we'll be back to spring in no time - YAY!
Remember you can still find us open but at reduced days. We are still here for your shopping fix or gift needs. Some days it gets pretty lonely at the shop so could you please just stop by to chat??  :-)
Thankfully this is trade show time for us to go shopping and find wonderful products for you to want/need/have to have and we're quite busy making lots of orders to fill our shop come April and May. Even during 'quiet time' ... it's not.

New Items!

Just in time for those travellers heading south! It's a SunLily foldable floppy sun hat! It comes tucked into this cute little tote and unfolds into a wonderful sunhat! No worries about bending and crinkling your floppy sunhat in the suitcase again! And the tote will be just right to tuck a room key in while you wear the hat. They come in a variety of colours and sell for only $23.   See picture to the side..   -->
