Granny’s General Store

When a friend from Tara, ON, heard that one of our goals was to open a General Store, she firmly announced, "Every General Store must have a pot-bellied stove!" With that she led me up the stairs, where, in a corner of the room, was the most beautiful pot-bellied stove I’d ever seen. It now sits in a corner of the store and we now affectionately refer to it as “Granny’s” General Store. Besides the pot-bellied stove there are also many other interesting antiques on display.

The store features Nellie’s handicrafts including quilts, garden rustics, bucket lamps and, of course, our home grown Maple Syrup.

Purchases may be made by Cash, Mastercard or Visa. Sorry no Interac.

Charity Quilt Stash Exchange

Quilters take Note: If you’re a quilter then you likely have a stash of fabric stored away somewhere in your sewing room.

Why not participate in a Charity Quilt Stash Exchange?

Here’s how it works.

Bring us any fabric you’re just tired of looking at or know you won’t ever do anything with. Pieces must be at least the size of a fat quarter – 20" x22".

Donations will be cut into fat quarters and then added to "Granny’s Stash" at the store and made available to shoppers for a minimum donation of a toonie ($2.00 Cdn) per piece.

In September, all proceeds collected will be donated to a local charity that supports a women’s cause.

A great way to clear your own stash, find some new gems and support a local charity.
