6 shopping days left!!!!!!


Thanks from all of us at KPP ...for all your patronage over the past 18 years (and counting).
It's not everyone thats lucky enough to build a small-local-handmade business in one's home town.
Nice to have had lots of help from Pop, David, Tracy,Wallie, Biscuit, Soapy..family, relatives, friends & customers.
Did I say Wallie helped with the photography...meow..meow...what ever that means...oh and of course we do not forget Ralph's long contribution.

And thanks to all our 70+ passionate handmade Atlantic Canadian artists (suppliers).

Newfoundland and Labrador: the people, the province, the government, ITRD, the Craft Council....thanks thanks and thanks some more. Hope you'all stay tuned for 2011 new salt-soda work...some very different work planned for next year.


We expect more "berry" delicious treats in the shop next year along with all the favourites everyone "screeches" for.

Remember the shop it still packed with all kinds of last minute gifts for those who might need just one more thing.
Cats , rabbits , and fish still in stock.
We are proud to have an all new Labrador section that we expect to expand on even more for next year.
.

Our traditional Caplin will be available along with new caplin colours for 2011. Our award winning local NL mineral jars will be expanded for 2011.

Expect an increase in exciting new products $20.00 and under for next summer.
We are open over the holidays by appointment or by chance.
Merry Christmas and Happy New Year and to all a good holiday season.
Linda Yates, Founder & Owner
