Canadian Companies:
MADE IN CANADA!
We are making a considerable effort to stock and promote small Canadian businesses. Kwartha Brooms (pictured above) are but one of our suppliers. We would be most interested in suggestions of other like-minded Canadian companies.
Most of our Holistic Health Suppliers are Canadian, like St.Francis Herb Farm, and Bleu Lavande 100% Essential Lavender, both in Quebec. Our beautiful Beeswax candles are handmade by Carol at Your Time Boutique in Kitchener, Ontario.
We carry a terrific selection of Montreal based OKO Reusable Home Products, always made in Canada! And, unique pierced tin home products from artisan Pietersma Tinworks.
We are very pleased to carry two well known brands from beautiful British Columbia, Plantish, Plastic-Free home products, and Clapham's Beeswax Products. Both with well deserved reputations for excellence.
Children's books written by Canadian authors are listed in our Canadian Authors Collection, and are NOT included here. Please let us know of any other children's books we should be carrying.
