shout out....

it is exciting and gratifying when people find our shop and make their first steps through the door. the typical reaction is one of surprise. "Where do you find these beautiful, unique products?" Stelton? Holmegard? Bicycles? Atlantico furniture? Finisterre outerwear? Fabulous artisan foods? "Your shop is amazing!"

in addition to great support from the Okotoks area, a number of our regular Clientele are from Calgary. they tell me they love the shop and are more than happy to head to the peace of small town shopping than fight the ever-growing traffic battle that has consumed the city over the last several years of rapid growth.

most recently I have had the pleasure of meeting wonderful people from Vancouver, Olds, Victoria, Edmonton, the UK, Denmark and several US origins as they made their way into the shop. we are also fortunate to enjoy a strong web-based presence with queries from North America, South America, Europe and Australia. we find ourselves shipping to interesting destinations on a weekly basis.

so in addition to surrounding myself with the luxuries of the products we offer for sale, i get to interact with some amazing human beings. the people really do make the difference.

a big shout out to everyone for your interest and support!
