Attention!

A new shipment of chocolate has arrived from Salish Sea Chocolate Company. 

Do we need to stress the fact that we just said CHOCOLATE??? 


We thought not.

Well THAT'S a lotta snow!

  

We hope you're staying warm and safe!

What's even more fabulous about this fish?

It required me to lay face down on the cold cement floor to film it. 

Of course, a guest walked into the Market within about a minute and instantly looked concerned. "I have NOT fallen, and yes I CAN get up!" was the only thing I could think of. 

Only in Bowser... ;)

SWEEEEEET!! (and Spicy)

Just in time for 

Valentine's Day!! 

Artisan sea salt caramels by Clever Crow are on their way to the Market as we speak! Each one topped with hand harvested sea salt and individually wrapped with care. Limited quantities so hurry!! 

Puzzled, perplexed and befuddled about what to get your guy for Valentine's Day? We just received more Sweet and Spicy Almonds! 

SWEET AND SPICY - like your relationship... ;)

Still haven't picked up a card for your Valentine?

There are only 3 more sleeps 

BUT DONT FREAK OUT! 

We've got a great selection of artful cards like these by Canadian treasure Charles van Sandwyk. 



In fact, our cards are so beautiful they'll earn you oodles of brownie points with your sweetie for quite some time!

It's the LOVE month!

These wonderful heart pendants created from a selection of west coast wood are just the thing to give your Valentine this year. 

(Or...if you'd like us to whisper in your Valentine's ear to tell them how much you LOVE these, just say the word! We've got your back!)

Farewell Sweet Sockeye

While we're talking about good-byes, we whispered a fond farewell last week to one of our favourite pieces, "Sockeye" - Double Raku Salmon mounted on driftwood by artist Ed Oldfield. Sigh...we'll sure miss this one. 

On the upside, it's going to live in Courtenay with a REALLY nice couple! Their only challenge now is to see which one of them will win with respect to which room it'll go in. (In hindsight we should have made it even more interesting and placed a bet on this...)

We've said good-bye to some incredible pieces of art in the last couple of weeks, including this powerful piece entitled "Shore Patrol" by pencil artist Kevin Johnson. 


 

















While we've had Kevin's work in the Market for some time now, we never lose that awe-inspiring sense of wonder that washes over us when we look closely at his work. It's just so darned incredible that he can do that with a pencil. 

We're thrilled to say that "Shore Patrol" has gone to live with a very nice (and happy!) woman down island.
