  The creator of Enchanted Houses painstakingly creates these whimsical fairy houses - hand creates each tiny ceramic detail, hand paints and glazes every little surface - Wow!

What's in store from Meyer & Sons Design!

Scott Meyer from Meyer & Sons  thinks making time to spend with family is top priority. Quarter Horse Racing Game is super fun for all ages. Made from solid wood with self storing case-game board - this game is really well designed.
Perfect for the cabin or a snowy day! (but hey, hopefully not TOO snowy now Minnesota...)

What's in store from Bright Sun Candles!

We are really excited to welcome Bright Sun Candles to the boutique line-up this year!

Bright Sun Candles are hand-poured in St. Paul, MN from the wax of American-grown soy beans. These candles are scented only with essential oils and use no dyes or artificial colors.
- What's so great about soy? Soy wax candles are clean and long-burning + made from a natural wax that is a renewable resource.
 
Bright Sun Candles has candles covered - from the basics, like tea lights, to scented candle tins and soy wax crayons.

+ The list of amazing scents that Bright Sun Candles offers is impressive too: Asian Spice, Basil Bunch, Ginger Root Peppermint Stick and Cinnamon Spice just to name a few...

We look forward to seeing Bright Sun Candles in December at their first
