New retail location for my beads

I’m thrilled to announce that my beads are now available at The Gilded Corner, 7 Russell St. West in Smiths Falls.

The Gilded Corner is one of several  businesses located in Davidson’s Court just off the main street.  If you haven’t been there you are missing out on something special!  A beautiful courtyard complete with places to sit and enjoy your visit awaits you.  Around three sides of the courtyard are -

• The Olde & New Shoppe has wonderful collection of antiques, country furniture and different collectibles.   Located in a beautiful old brick home and guarded by Angus McDuff the fearless scotty dog!  Not to worry, Angus is very friendly and it seems he’ll let anyone through the door!
• The Gilded Corner, run by Amy Blair.  Amy does custom picture framing, including shadow boxes, but her store also carries much more – art supplies, jewellery supplies, and local art including pottery, glass, and MY BEADS!  Stop by and sign up for an art class!
• The Bakery Cafe will make anyone’s mouth drool – eat inside or out while the weather holds!  They also have wi-fi if you are looking for a spot to connect.
• Milliwiggins toy shop with wonderfully different educational and fun toys for children.  You won’t find the usual big box store items here, instead you’ll be met with items that you really do want to play with yourself before you gift them on to the child you are shopping for!
• Last but definitely not least Baileys Blade and Bow!  Thar be Vikings here so it MUST be good!!  Diane and George operate a really unique store catering to the ancient soul inside us.  What?  You don’t have one of those?  Bet you will after visiting their emporium of Medievalness!  They have wonderful Books, Blades, Armour, Jewellery and Giftware – all designed to take you back to a time of  chivalrous Knights or adventuring Vikings.

Davidson’s Courtyard also has events – an upcoming one is for Harvest Festival that is in October.  Amy and I are working together to try and arrange for me to do some beadmaking demo’s in the courtyard area that weekend.  I hope it works out and the weather will co-operate as it could be a lot of fun.
