Blockhouse Trading Company has been owned by Peter for over 30 years. The original building, from a century ago, was a quarter of the size it is today. The lower level of the other half of the building was originally attached to the Games store across the street, and was a Post Office. Our counter in our shop comes from there, as do the built in shelves. The second level was built later under ownership of the Ernst family.

Both the previous owners of the store and Peter were avid collectors of history, information, and eclectic items. This, along with our appreciation of vintage design and quality, led to the concept of a display of local history to complement the vintage themed store.

Additionally, we value our community and want to help support local charities. Locals can cosign, sell, or donate vintage items to us. We also aim to help counsel local seniors and their families with preparations for downsizing and navigating the difficult process.

We hope the community shares their stories of local characters and events and adds these to our historical exhibit or online forum.

Specially chosen charities benefit from our annual donations which are based on the total sales of consignments items.

This small farmers market and pop up cafe is held year round every Friday from 2:00pm - 7:00pm at St. John’s Anglican Church Hall.

Fresh seasonal produce, baked goods, personal care items, preserves, goat’s milk soap, sushi/spring rolls, honey/beeswax, knitted items, eggs, meat/poultry, and more!

Located in the small seaside village of Petite Riviere, on the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Melissa’s studio is a place where beautiful things are imagined, cultivated, and created. Working under the mantra, ‘Explore, Create & Connect’, Melissa describes her designs as wild hearted, modern heirlooms with meaning beyond adornment. Inspirations for her designs are often sparked by the spirit of a distinct moment, interpretations of natural forms, or based on intuition, resulting in an unusual organic sense of beauty. Many of the textures and nuances in Melissa’s jewellery are the reaction to a direct hands-on process, which is achieved by either carving wax or mark making on metal by hammering and embossing.

Rick L. Silas is a master of cold worked glass, artists, innovator, and creator of cold bent glass.

One of the processes Rick developed (and patented) is a way to shatter and bend tempered glass at room temperature while maintaining structural integrity. This process allows Rick to bend the glass around existing structures, such as stair railings, without machinery or the high cost of a hot glass installation. He named and trademarked these processes, “Silastial™ Glass.”

I love thinking of the potential in a rock - the potential of what it could look like, but beyond that, how it will make me or others feel when we look at it. I enjoy the unexpectedness of books and violins and flowering trumpets and simple sentinels realized from the sand stone.

I Love Quilts is owned and operated by Linda Macdonald.
