Have you heard about this deal at our Retail Gallery? It’s the perfect way to send a little piece of Prince Edward Island to those who can’t make it! Let us handle the gift wrap and ship your items anywhere in Canada for a flat rate of $20.00 OR if you spend over $200, we’ll throw in the gift wrapping, a card, and shipping for free!

We know so many of you love going here to support local artisans and craftspeople- Please do keep in mind that many of our creators are still offering local pick up and socially distanced options. You can also consider visiting our retail gallery to enjoy 100% Island made products. Stay safe everyone!

Have you seen this beautiful piece from Jim Aquilani? "Created using sterling silver, copper, brass and bronze. The components have been hand forged and formed and soldered together. Once that was completed the components were soldered to a backing piece complete with bale. The bale for the necklace is a half circle to match the front." ... If you love pieces like this, you can find more via Jim's studio: Vitamin Sea Studio or Etsy page: http://vitaminseastudio.etsy.com/

Congratulations to Isako Suzuki of Hermann-Suzuki Pottery!
