Since all roads lead to Kent’s Corners, we simply couldn’t miss
out seeing what Judy and Ralph have ‘in store’ for Christmas.
As soon as we entered, our eyes were drawn to their display of
books by local authors. We saw some great titles, including
‘Only in Canada’ by the Honourable Ray Stortini, ‘Of Blade
and Valor’ by Cheryl Alleway, ‘Broken Porzelan’ by Katrina
Kramer Bering and be sure to check out ‘Days of Yesteryear’ by
the St. Joseph Island Historical Society.
They also have a big selection
of fireworks for New Year’s.

oh-so-delicious Creekside

year is the line of Superior

“But wait a minute!” we cried.
“Where are the South Bend
Chocolate Company’s treats?”
we demanded, referring to
those oh-so-yummy bags of
Caramel Corn, Peanut Butter
Crunch and – our favourite –
Christmas Crunch. “Don’t
worry!” Judy reassured us.
“They’re coming! It just
wouldn’t be Christmas without them.” We’ll hold you to
that, Judy!

We also saw beautifully-sewn quilts and lovely placemats by
Marie Egglesfield and J.E. Wheeler.
And to please the palate, Naturally Nice also carries ‘Wildly
Delicious’ jams, marmalades, relishes and seasoning salt, as
well as maple syrup.
Mike tells us that there will be many more great gifts and
goodies arriving in December, in time for Christmas.
Continuing along the highway into Hilton Beach, we rounded
the corner to the ‘water’ side of the Waterfront Centre, to visit
Greg and Patricia Duma at Island Scoop. They’ve got it all for
Christmas, starting with beautiful ornaments, cards, gift wrap
and ribbons galore. And that’s just for openers. You can set the
mood at your house with their lovely stained glass ornaments,
Owls collections, Bee Wax Candles, custom placemats, runners, toaster covers, kitchen aprons, towel and oven mitt sets.
