Leslie Watts



Leslie Watts has recently turned her hand to doing beautiful little still life paintings in acrylic on birch board. The effect is stunning and several have sold as soon as we put them in the window. We currently have these three wonderful pieces and we're looking forward to seeing more of Leslie's work in the near future. For more information about any of Leslie's work contact the store by phone or email.

We have some wonderful new work from Stratford fabric artist, Toni Kuo. We are very excited about her colourful pillow shams, shown here, and purses. Toni's use of high quality designer fabric combined with her ability to put pattern and colour together in a unique way make each pillow the perfect accessory to spice up a bed, couch or chair.

Here are Toni's purses and like her pillow shams they are all made out of high quality designer fabric each one a little work of art. They come in two designs, one with a drawstring closing and one with a zippered closing. Add a little bit of colour to your outfit by having an original Toni Kuo bag! * All sold out!

Stephanie Lapierre


The Orchid and Lace design necklaces shown here are by Stephanie Lapierre, a Montreal jeweller. We have carried Stephanie's work for several years now and it continues to be very popular. Her more elaborate designs are fabulous with evening wear and work well with prom and bridal gowns. Her simpler pieces can be worn with sweaters, suits and even blue jeans and a tee shirt.
