The Art of Shopping

As the wife of a framer/gift store owner I get a fantastic
opportunity to shop. Shop till I drop
and not spend a dime of my own money…. Now that being said, I also don’t get to
take any of my purchases home. Well…I
guess that is not entirely true, I purchase unique items for the store that I
happen to love as well and maybe an item or two does find a way home!
Every year the Framer and I go to gift shows to find the
most unique items to sell in our store.
Always on the hunt for handcrafted, distinctive giftware from Canada and
the rest of the world, we drift from booth to booth – quite literally through
thousands of purveyors eager to promote their latest and greatest items.

The first year was the most overwhelming! We had blisters on our feet, cramps in our
calves and headaches. What to
purchase? Our store is only so big. What will Lethbridge and area love? Now 8 years later, we have honed our
“shopping” experience. We know which
areas to concentrate on and have developed a way to see the most booths without
getting the dreaded shopper’s blister!

We purchase with you in mind, our wonderful customers. We invite you to come and see our latest
lines of giftware like Kitras Art Glass which is proudly hand crafted in
Canada! Each piece shines with beauty
catching the light and sharing its rainbow of colors on the world. Guess I kinda like them! I wonder which one will find it’s way
home??????
