Neon Lights of Broadway Calling





When I was in my 20's they would have been luring me to the stage. I would have been glammered by the call to adoring audiences. Today they draw me to... well, sometimes its easier to say with pictures...










and...












Unfortunately we didn't get inside, we checked in to the hotel and got back out on the street after midnight. Though Broadway was still overflowing with people, most of the shops had closed at the witching hour. Pfffft. And I thought this was the city that never sleeps.

And now, with very little sleep ourselves, we're off to a different kind of show...

We Say...

Sagaform Letter Serving Set

Sagaform creates uncommonly beautiful and entirely clever and useful goods.

One of our favourites is the Letter Serving Set.  We put these cleverly crafted serving tools to use each time we barbecue or have company (or both!).
Consisting of three pieces - a spoon, a spreader and a fork - each has a curved handle designed to hang from a jar.  Goodbye goopy handled knives!  So long spoons which disappear into larger jars!  Hello juicy dill pickle!
Cleverly contained within a ready to mail slim package - like a thick postcard - this is an easy product to love, and to send to someone you love who likes to entertain.






We Say... its Hot!

Love It? Hate It?




Rate It!


A while back we solicited your feedback and suggestions as to how we could improve our webstore.

Today we're going to ask you for yet another favour!

Help us build the webstore into something more than just a store. We want to be a place where people can learn about the products we offer from those who own and/or have used them.

One of the features at our online store is product reviews. I know that my elf and I are fiends for product reviews when we are considering an online purchase. Who can better attest to the quality and usefulness of an item better than someone who actually owns it? It doesn't matter where you purchased the item you are rating, we just want to know what you think of the products we carry.

If you can find the time to submit two publishable reviews, and by that we mean something a tad more than a single word, we will thank you with a $5 in store credit, or - if you are from out of town - a $5 online store credit.



One of the things we pride ourselves on is that we have married a fully stocked physical store with an online store. That means we - Terry, Jana and myself - can answer just about any question about any product. We have a full appreciation of all of our products because we have seen them and handled them.

We are going to begin our own product reviews here shortly. Once a week we will feature a product and provide you with our take on it. While we strive to bring the unique, interesting and treasures of the design world under our roof in Winnipeg, we are not always as chuffed with something as we thought we might be. Among the many decor objects, gifts and housewares items, there are some which don't produce the wow factor we expected, others which don't impart a sense of value for their cost and many which we truly love.

In the meanwhile, please consider the above offer and get busy giving us some feedback at the webstore!

Please note: In order to provide you with your credit we require that you provide us with your name and email address when leaving your reviews. We will not publish your email address or use it for nefarious purposes! There is no limit to the number of legitimate reviews you can submit. A $5 credit will be reserved in our online store or in 'house' according to your preference. Limited to one credit per customer.
