Coming soon!

We’re currently down to just a few cards by this artist but more are on the way including some outstanding Christmas designs!

Over the years we’ve been building up our greeting card offerings. Customers tell us they come especially for our cards because they are “unique” “special” “beautiful” and “are the perfect for gift giving.”

We have a wide variety by local and Canadian artists! Pop-up cards. Animated cards. Local landmark cards. Cards by local photographers! Wildlife…so many cards! Starting at just $5.00 (Actually $2.50 for some tiny photo enclosure cards.)

But today we feature these magnificent cards from an artist in Quebec.

From the artists website “I’m Marie-Michèle Desmarais. I grew up near a Zoo, where my parents would take me everyday for a morning stroll. My mother would prepare an orange for the elephants 🐘 that would come to meet us because they recognized the stroller from far away.

Today I quit my speech language pathology profession to live out my passion:
Help you to add some life into your nest!

With my charcoals :
I Capture the cuteness 🐼 and the magnificence 🦌 of the animal world.

I Share with you this intimate connection to nature🌱 .

I give back to earth by planting a tree 🌳 for each print sold and two trees 🌳🌳 by canvas sold.”

Please share and pop by to check out our amazing collection. Support local please!
