NeeDoh is the gratifying super soft, super stretchy dough filled groovy glob that started a squish sensation! Squeeze it, pull it, smush it, and then watch it return to its original shape. Feeling a bit stressed or anxious? Want to practice more mindfulness? Looking for good vibes and your best mellow and chill? You NEED (Knead) NeeDoh!

Thank you to everyone for their support over the last week as we process the passing of our wonderful matriarch Sheila. We now have a memory book in the shop for anyone that wants to offer their condolences or leave a memory of Sheila for her family, friends and staff. It’s been pretty amazing to see how many people she touched over her nearly 50 years in St. Andrews 💙

Sheila Simpson, the beloved owner of The Whale Store, peacefully passed away this weekend surrounded by family and friends. The Whale Store exists today because of this incredible woman.

Sheila Simpson took ownership of Boutique la Baleine (“The Whale Store “) in 1977 and ran the store for close to 50 years. As with any business there were ups and downs, but Sheila’s determination, resilience and hard work ethic paid off and “The Boutique” as it’s affectionally known has endured for more than 4 decades and is a true institution of the town of St. Andrews.

Sheila wanted to extend a heartfelt thank you to all of the loyal customers, partners, suppliers and fellow business owners for their support over the years. She especially wanted to thank all of the store’s current and former staff for going on the journey with her. She was grateful to you all and remembered the yearly staff dinners very fondly.

Sheila was passionate about highlighting local and Canadian companies in her store, especially local artists, artisans and authors. Sheila filled the shelves of the Boutique with an eclectic mix of items that reflected her own unique style.

The Boutique will continue to stay open in Sheila's memory. We hope you’ll stop in and share your stories of Sheila with us.
