There's an artist in our Hayloft Gallery that our team keeps coming back to: Vadim Vaskovsky⁠
⁠
Vadim is a real admirer of Paul Klee, and it shows. He breaks down the planes of Prince Edward County scenes much like the master himself, scratching in fine detail and building depth by making each plane smaller and smaller as it recedes. His colours are wonderful, and he's a genuinely gifted painter.⁠
⁠
Come by the Hayloft Gallery in Prince Edward County. You won't be disappointed.

The best souvenirs are the ones you'll still be reaching for months from now.⁠
⁠
Whether you're visiting for the weekend or shopping for someone who loves the County, these are the little pieces of home we'd send you off with. Swipe for a few favourites: infused honey gift sets from The Heritage Bee Company, one-of-a-kind sculptures by Sam Sakr, a lavender and honey soap bar from The Bee Works, goat's milk lavender lotion from Once Upon A Farm, a jar of Prince Edward County Lavender wildflower honey, and whimsical garden flowers for the plant lover back home.⁠
⁠
Handmade, County-made, and a whole lot more memorable than the usual.⁠
⁠
Save this for your next visit, and send it to whoever you're travelling with.

Meet Lara, part of our team here at The Local Store for three years. Her favourite thing in the whole shop? The maple butter.⁠
⁠
Nyman's maple butter is the kind of thing you'll want on your morning toast, though Lara will tell you it's just as good straight off the spoon. Rich, smooth, and made right here in the County, it's liquid gold in a jar.⁠
⁠
Nyman also makes a full range of maple syrups, from light to dark, so there's lots to choose from. Next time you're in, come find Lara's pick for yourself.
