Plush

Cute little gift store on the upcoming Main st. It’s all stocked w/​locally-​made products, things from candles, kitchen gloves, jewellery to body exfoliators. Contemplated as it sounded healthy but i’ll wait til my current Lab stuff runs out. Now i can see how women accumulate so much stuff. anyways i digress…
there was this cool ipad sleeve for $ 65, and seemed way better protection than the Future Shop or Apple stores ones. It’s sort made from rubber, and trendy patterns on the inside. If it wasn’t for the new iPad3 coming out in a few months, I’d buy it but not sure if my first gen ipad would fit w/​an additional cover as it is.
Prices here aren’t on the cheap side but at least i think of them next time i’m in a birthday shopping gift mode…

I don’t know much about felt, therefore, I can’t make any direct creative or product comment, however, I was interested in some of the stuff that they had in the cute little shop. I found some of the stuff to be pricey, however, once again, I don’t know much about felt or what makes this kind special, therefore, I cannot make a judgment call other than the initial walk in price. Unfortunately the creator of the products wasn’t in the shop otherwise I would’ve loved to have been introduced to the items and the concept. Her sister who was working was very very nice and sweet. She did not hover over me, make me feel uncomfortable or make me feel as though I had eagle eyes on me. It was a very positive browsing experience which lead me to an unplanned purchase of soap covered in felt. I love bath products, therefore, I cannot wait to use this. I think that I saw something similar at a craft fair at Trout Lake years ago. Not sure if it is the same person or not.

This sweet little shop on the Main Street stroll is for those who love the whole «new craft» thang: locally made goods with lots of whimsy or attitude (depending on what flavor you prefer).
It’s very small and they don’t have tons in here, but what they DO have is great. The felted soaps caught my eye in particular. They had quite a few felt items actually — the felted scarves were very pretty. Cute pillows & bags — and just the type of things you see at your great local craft bizarre. Everything was priced in line with the market, very reasonable.
Sorry my picture is so bad! I was trying to take a picture of an adorable «toaster» bag…
