Our Hidden Gems
By Ryschell Dragunov
Easter this year falls on April 4th, so I figured let’s support local businesses for some Easter fun!

My unique finds for this month’s Gems include a company that makes cookies you can paint on. You heard that right, they have edible ink you can use to decorate the cookies. Some of you may be aware that I love cookies and of course, the more unusual the better. I definitely want these in my Easter basket!
Because of last month’s journey out west we were introduced to a few more out there for this month. So if you have not made it out there, hunting for unique treasures for your Easter Basket is a wonderful reason to go. (You can see all those wonderful Gems here.) Wild Country Gardens with their jams, soaps and acres of farmland is close to Salt of the Earth Gallery and Ina’s Gallery. Since you are near Ina’s Gallery, stop in and check out the truly unique hand spun and woven cloths from PrairieHawk Fibres.
With April being the Month of Easter Egg hunts I am thrilled to add one of my favourite Candy Stores. I drive past this store everytime I go out and I am always delighted when I have time to stop in. Not only are they filled with candies from every where, but trinkets and treasures are plenty. They are right across the street from Mandolin books, so you could also grab a coffee. Truly something for everyone.
Next Month’s Feature: Businesses That Started in 2020
• Businesses who pivoted
• Saw a niche and filled it
• Were insanely brave and opened shop during a Pandemic
Are you that business?
Do you know a business that started in 2020?
We would love to help you out with some Hidden Gems Exposure.
