Pixie's candy shop
A SWEET SCOOP Pixie’s Candy Parlour is an old-fashioned candy parlour located in The District at North Deerfoot. Launched in 2013, this family-owned business found success in one of the farmers’ markets and relocated to a bricks and mortar location a few years later. Owner Jackie Ruhl channels her inner child by offering a unique selection of sweets from around the world in her boutique-style candy shop. Besides the fun selection of treats, they have a fully operational 1950’s soda fountain bar, one of only a few in Canada. We can’t resist stopping in for an old-fashioned soda or ice cream float. Gift ideas include subscription boxes, gift boxes, Easter baskets and candy buffets. Pixie’s Candy Parlour | 207, 11135 14th St. N.E. 403.567.0109 | pixiescandy.com
CELEBRATE MALBEC Malbec World Day is a global initiative created by Wines of Argentina celebrated every year on April 17th. Willow Park Wines & Spirits is celebrating throughout the month of April with in-store displays, deals and a special selection of featured Argentinean wines. While malbec is Argentina’s signature red varietal producing nearly 70 per cent of the malbec vineyards in the world, their winemakers are also passionate about crafting fresh and food-friendly rosés. A diverse climate, high-altitude vinyards and a wine culture dedicated to excellence is what makes Argentinean malbecs a reliable and popular red wine.

MEXICO IN YOUR KITCHEN Thirteen years ago, Salsita, a boutique food market opened specializing in Mexican cuisine. Originally from Guyana and Venezuela, owner Jean Williams started as an employee and bought the market when opportunity knocked… and brought food. Jean and her team make everything fresh in-house with products available for pick-up to be reheated at home or enjoyed as is. Some of the delicious items available in store include birria, al pastor tacos, enchiladas, soups, burritos, empanadas, tres-leches cake, lime tarts, tamales and Mexican wedding cookies. While we change our minds regularly, our current favourite is the selection of dried chiles, fresh guacamole and pico de gallo. Photo provided
