A Handmade Art and Handicraft Shoppe

As a small family-run business, we know what it takes to build something from the ground up. Art is very similar. It takes passion, vision, creativity and drive to turn mere ideas into tactile works of art.

Our decisions are made with our customers, our ecosystem, and our future makers in mind.  We hope you enjoy!

Art Changes People and People Change the World

Art allow us to explore, communicate, and connect with our world in a way that stays. It holds. It is tangible. Its meaning, message, or motive may live on and maintain impact indefinitely or momentarily. You choose. 

At The Art Shoppe, we believe in doing things simply for the sake of what is good. Doing the right thing often isn’t the easy thing, but it can be so much fun.

Celebrating Our Buildings Heritage

Our beautiful building was once inhabited by the iconic Miller Lake Candle Shop. This specialty shop was near and dear to many hearts, and we always welcome the opportunity to hear stories and learn details about its time here at 197 Miller Lake Rd.

**Please note**  We did not write the following blurb, it was copied from the Candle Shop’s Listing on greybruceyourway.com. Their once description still beautifully illustrates their essence.

 

The Candle Shop Listing exerpt from greybruceyourway.com…   

“The Candle Shop is a legacy on the Bruce Peninsula.  Generations of people visit The Candle Shop each year bringing new generations with them.

Our customers come from all over the world and leave our shop with their own work of art. When you visit our candle shop the first thing that you notice is the beauty, uniqueness and smell of our candles.  We have scents available from sandalwood to cedar, and from lilac to lily.

In a world of mass production, Chief Candle Maker and Owner Leslea Smith insists on continuing the tradition of handcrafted candles.  Our candles are all unique and each is carefully and lovingly homemade in our shop by our skilled craftspeople.  Our staff takes pride in pouring, dipping and painting each and every candle.  This means every candle is a “one a kind” design.

If you are looking for that special item, the Candle Shop can provide a wide variety of candles including Tapers, Pillars, Stained Glass, Agate, Votives, Floating, Scented and Figurines. They also make scented bears and other creatures, by dipping them in wax and molding them into the desired position. These ornaments make a room smell fabulous.

On your next trip to the Bruce Pennisula, be sure to drop in at the Candle Shop.”

 

The same holds true, we’d love to see you!
