Manitobah Mukluks

What makes them different: they are Aboriginally owned and Made in Canada.
They blend traditional styles and designs with new materials and production techniques.

We carry a variety of mukluks and lined moccasins (find them in Home Expressions). The lined moccasins make the best slippers, hands down. Feet stay warm and toasty without overheating.

The mukluks are awesome, particularly the ones with the Vibram sole--a high performance rubber sole designed to withstand the harsh Canadian winters.



I personally own these brown puppies and I love them. They are warm and comfortable, and the rubber sole keeps my feet dry and protected from hard surfaces and melting ice. Last year, everywhere I went, people were asking me where I got them.

We have them in an assortment of colors, including black, brown, grey and purple.

Pick some up today to enjoy for the season, or ask Santa on your Christmas list ;)

It's a beautiful sight, we're happy tonight...

A Special Little Something...

Check out Home Expressions for our new arrivals of these wonderful frames and signs. Heartwarming and charming, these are perfect for your home or as a gift and our expanded selection has something for everyone.

The story of this company is endearing, and here it is for your enjoyment, in what they refer to as "The Cheesy Poem" of their beginnings:

A red barn is the home where their story begins

with an antique wood stove and brick floors.

In their heart burns a Town with more people than jobs

and a Dream they might help bring in more.

More jobs to this town where the teens all move north

and the rest search in vain for employment.

Might two brothers and wives help bring work to this town

building pride and (what else rhymes?) enjoyment?

Annie kicks off the Dream by designing some frames.

They’re unique and they’re painted by hand.

Then they head for a show with one Dream and twelve SKUs

and they’re met with enormous demand.

They race back to the shop and start figuring how

to make frames more than one at a time.

Soon the Grandmas are painting while the Grandpas are packing.

It’s a family assembly line.

Now the whole clan’s involved on both sides of the family,

but the workload is getting them down.

So they cry out for help and before you can blink

they’re the largest employer in town.

Still Main Street sits empty – shops all boarded up

due to Walmart, closed mines, fiscal blahs.

Then some look to Gambling to help save the day.

Quoth they, “It’ll save us! Hoorah!”

So they throw all their weight against this horrible menace.

“There’s a better solution. Let’s find it!”

When the smoke finally clears, gambling fails to get votes.

All the Sane see it just doesn’t fit.

But now what will they do? Just say “NO!” or lead change?

So they pick up an old Five ‘n Dime.

With a hot renovation, Danielson Dry Goods is born

and they show how old Main Street can shine.

With a store and frame business, life is full to the brim.

And you’ll find in Ann’s artwork and verse

that the message they bear is the lesson she’s learned:

Friends and family have to come first.

That surrounding yourself with the ones that you love

and enjoying the smile of a friend,

are two of God’s greatest gifts and things not to be lost

as we wind through life’s journey. The End.

Salt Rock Lamps

We just received another shipment of Salt Rock Lamps. If you've never owned one before, you should give it a try. The negative ions released by the lamps freshen up the air, giving you that fresh air feeling you get near waterfalls, the ocean or mountaintops. Below you will find further information on the lamps, but even if you don't agree with it or believe it, the lamps are still a beautiful home accent and an excellent nightlight. Available in a variety of shapes and sizes.

These beautiful lamps are made from natural Rock Salt Crystal (Halite) accumulated over millions of years in salt caverns deep under ground in the Himalayan Mountains. They provide a warm glow in stunning and beautiful natural designs.

Salt Rock Lamps are natural air ionizers. Even though they are not a "medical device", Salt Crystal Lamps, by emitting negative ions, significantly reduce a myriad of indoor air pollutants. Negative ions have known benefits, and may provide relief from sinus, migraine headaches allergies and hay fever, reduce the severity of asthma attacks, enhance the immune system, increase alertness, increase work productivity and concentration, increase lung capacity and reduce susceptibility to colds and flu.

Salt crystal lamps are important natural sources of negative ions. They balance and reverse the positive ions generated by heating and cooling systems, TV's, computers, radios, transmitters, cell phones, automobile exhausts, cigarette smoke and other pollutants. The impact of negative ions is powerful. Originally, it was found to speed recovery in burn or asthma patients, but was later discovered to affect serotonin levels in the bloodstream, stabilize alpha rhythms and to positively impact our reactions to sensory stimuli. The greater level of alertness can translate into improved learning, improved well being and enhanced human performance on mental tasks.

Salt Crystal Lamps, when illuminated from inside with a small light, produce a beautiful, natural glow of shades from pink to orange to yellow. This color, and the ionizing effects, create a special atmosphere of calming, balancing, and refreshing clean air.

New music, get your groove on

Lots of new cd titles now available , including a great selection of new music for babies and toddlers, relaxation titles (spa, yoga, feng shui), kickin' back music and more.

Weekend Update

Well, after some pretty miserable weather we ended up with a nice day afterall--it's currently 19*, and the garden centre is packed. You must must must come see the *3* new baby goats, they are so small and adorable.

Water plants are in, as are annuals, perennials, trees, shrubs and vines. Visit the Barn for your grass seeds, if you are planning on doing some reseeding this weekend. Sweetpea's is open for business and the ice cream is excellent, especially in a new waffle cone. Check out the Perennial Greenhouse's new Western look. Thoughts?



We have some out-of-town friends visiting this weekend (shout out to the Ross Family, Amanda and Karen) and we always love to share your store with them.

New Moms-- get out in the fresh air and bring baby to Sweetpea's to relax. The store is always full of new moms, maybe you will meet a new friend! Gingersnaps is also featuring some new Italian Soda drinks--get them with milk and whipped cream for an extra indulgence.

Did you see Friday's Booster? We GUARANTEE the absolute BEST PRICE on fence boards in town. In fact, we have a Price Match Promise for any identical, locally advertised item (I'll be posting more about this in the upcoming weeks). Also good to know--the advertised flyer prices on lumber are often higher than in-store prices. Always call or come in for current prices, you'll probably be surprised. And did you know we are the only store in town to offer SAME DAY DELIVERY?



Yoga clothes are flying off the shelves--if you don't own a shirt or a pair of these pants, now is the time to try them. SO comfortable and adaptable to any body type. Perfect for getting out for a walk on a beautiful spring day.

Check out our facebook page for more new photos of the store.
