We are a gift store/gallery featuring handmade/local-made art that includes everything from fine jewelry to greeting cards and a wide range in between. We present the work of something in the range of 200 local artists and artisans from the Lower Mainland and local islands of Vancouver, BC.
We focus on unique, handmade items and hope to continue growing our amazing collection! So with that said, our customer is anyone that likes to sew, craft, create, and shop handmade gift items.
