Thanks for visiting and Merry Christmas!!

Cead mile failte which means a hundred thousand welcomes in Gaelic and it is what we all extend to you. Thanks for stopping in to browse around for that perfect gift for your loved ones this Christmas. There are so many talented and hard working folks that live in the rural out port communities located along the pristine coastline that is lovingly known as The Irish Loop. With all that there is to offer it was our intent to not keep them a secret for one moment longer but to share their many talents with you all.

There are quilters, knitters, bakers, and musicians. There are businesses that provide gas, groceries, and all your hardware supplies. There are musicians, painters, and poets oh my! There are old traditions but there are new ones too. Can you say massage, pedicures, new do's, and facials? What about a custom made piece of furniture? A portrait sitting to capture those special moments? Calendars, post cards, books, canvas prints of your favorite hometown scene? There is nothing better than putting one of a kind art on your walls created by one of our local artists.

Nothing says giving this Christmas better than supporting our locals. The survival of rural Newfoundland and all of these special little communities will start by supporting the people that make their livings, that create their crafts, that make their music in those same communities.

How easy is it to shop and deliver goods? Too easy!! Once you have browsed the tabs above and you are ready to purchase here is what you do:

Step 1 ~ Browse the shop and choose your items

Step 2 ~ Contact the individual artist or business with the email that is provided to check availability.

Step 3 ~ If available payment will be remitted via email transfer or via cash direct to the artist or business.
