Little Bird

Oh Canada! What a wonderful Country we live in - personally I feel so fortunate every day that I’m in this beautiful place. Lately on a daily basis here @ Little Bird we meet visitors from nearby, or other countries who share that same sentiment with us.

I’m happy to announce that we have a sweet new product line just arrived in the shop that fills out our “Sweets” offerings quite nicely - Maple Syrup products made in the best province for it - la belle Quebec!

This high quality delicious line is not found in grocery stores & our specialty items include larger & smaller maple leaf shaped glass bottles filled with organic amber maple syrup, standard shaped glass bottles of organic dark maple syrup, 2 sizes of “melt in your mouth” maple leaf shaped Soft Maple Sugar, maple spread & boxes of maple cream filled maple leaf shaped cookies - Yum!!

Add this to our ongoing Rogers’ chocolates & Canadian Select smoked/candied salmon offerings & we’ve got the sweets gift category pretty well covered!

Speaking of Canada…tomorrow is July 1st - Canada Day & just a head’s up - I will be here & open for your shopping pleasures from 11am - 4pm.. so please do come downtown & grab some lovely Greets, Sweets & Treats! - back to regular hours on Thursday.

You might be inclined to hear the name ‘Little Bird Gift Shop & Gallery’ & assume that everything we offer is sweetness & light, just like little birds tend to be, but no!

We cater to all varieties of customers, as everyone deserves a great gift.. dudes as well of course, so I’m always considering, other than the typical socks & beer, what makes a good guy gift?

Here’s some good guy gifts (depending on the guy) I came up with while touring around the shop yesterday. All things I can highly recommend & once you get looking, there’s a lot! Just saying you might want to grab a cup of something & settle into a comfy chair to go through it all!

With next Sunday June 21st being Father’s Day, now’s the time to Pop on in!.. get it? ;-)

If there’s one thing we love here @ Little Bird it’s Art! In fact our gift shop here in downtown Duncan is based on that which is beautiful & worthy of appreciation.

A quick search of that small but powerful word comes up with “Art is the conscious use of skill, imagination, & creativity to produce works that evoke emotion, ideas, or aesthetic beauty.”
Well put!

Based on that, it only makes sense that we’re participating in the upcoming
Art & Appies evening, being held next Thursday May 21st from 5pm - 8pm, sponsored by our awesome DBIA (Duncan Business Improvement Association).

This event is described as “A self-guided evening of art, appetizers & downtown discovery across six participating shops. Experience an evening of art, small bites, & downtown charm. Explore local shops, galleries & pop-exhibits - each with a small bite to enjoy.”

We’re pleased to be hosting, arguably our most colourful & prolific local artist that evening - Bara Fallows of Bara Bespoke. She has created a lovely new display of 5 original collage pieces under the name “Painting with Paper”, & hung it in her section of our gallery here @ Little Bird. Bara will be joining us in a demo sharing some of her many techniques she’s developed during her 40+ years as a creative selling artist.

The other images throughout this post are all creations of Bara's.. among others available here in the store.

Tickets are available through : downtownduncan.ca/artappies , or if you’re so inclined, use the QR code on the poster for tickets for access. Passports are issued & stamped at each participating business & completed passports can be entered to win a prize draw. Good luck!

We’re offering 10% off for this 5-8pm event & anticipate it’ll be a great evening, so we hope you can join us!
