This family-run business has been a part of the community of Thunder Bay and northwestern Ontario for over 110 years! The Christie family has always been supportive of my business & me.

They proudly support local artists, and have been open to selling my artwork and postcards. I hope to bring back some new items down the road…I’ll definitely keep you posted on that.

In the meantime, be sure to ask about all the other, local, handcrafted gems on display. Stop by on your next visit to the Falls, you’ll be pleasantly surprised!

Seasons In The Country

Here is a very sweet gift shop, located in Slate River, just outside of Thunder Bay. The owner and staff are heartwarming and talented! They offer classes and sell locally, crafted items to help support our community. Be sure to see their store hours of operation, as they are only open for 2 months, twice a year…and during this time they are a bustling little business! Thankful for Karen and her beautiful staff. They have had my work on display in the past and I’m sure they will welcome some newer items again, in the future.
