A new product he has been making now are these frosted, recycled glass Inukshuks...
Speaking of local products...We now carry a limited selection of
Jordan River soap works.
 Naturally made...naturally wonderful!

Do you have a writer you know? Or are you a journalist or sketcher or
maybe you just like to doodle...we have some gorgeous handmade
fair trade blank books that may be calling your name...
You might need a nice bag to carry that book in.
We've got great designs from Lavishy.
They make their bags, wallets and e-reader covers out of a
recycled, non-toxic plastic.
