We live quite a way out of town and were not able to be in Arnprior for her birthday during these pandemic days, so Tara patiently texted me back and forth with photos of different options. Her hand painted wine glasses were my favourite, just beautiful! She individually wrapped each gift with hand painted wrap and even painted the envelope of the birthday card. Such attention to detail from a wonderful artist. I've been to this store several times on previous visits to Arnprior. Very lovely selection from local/Canadian artists. Worth the visit!

This farm is very well organized, with overall good signage. The people that work there are lovely and helpful. (Thank you!) They have a very nice building that houses nice washrooms, a lunch counter (think hamburgers, chilli, hot chocolate and the like) as well as a gift store type area with a fire place and seating where you can just sit and warm up. We found many nice trees - and found our perfect tree quickly. They do supply saws - but we always try to bring our own as ours tends to be sharper than the shared saws at a cut-your-own operation, so I can't comment on their saws. Remember to bring rope to tie your tree to your vehicle. (I assume they have some, but best to come prepared.) Tractor pulled wagon rides get you out to the fields, where a fireplace and benches are available for you to use while you wait for the return right. Lovely property. Would I return: Yes. Would I recommend: Yes.

... memories …read more... When I lived and worked throughout Canada's Atlantic Provinces, Ottawa was almost like a second home to me during the 70's and 80's. I travelled / stayed there often, via business, and even more so for pleasure stays. I chose to stay at hotels offering rooms with kitchenettes. Which allowed me the option to shop during walks and stays, and dine back at my hotel. The Byward Market area was one of my favourite spots to walkabout, browse, and shop. And especially so during the summer and fall months, when it was so alive with street venders, and others featuring locally-grown fresh fruits and veggies. It was a good while ago, but a standout for me during these stays was a fish/seafood shop. I used to purchase squid there. Then on the way back to the hotel, catch a bottle of white wine, and some butter. Cooking the squid back at the hotel was fun, and made for several very fragrant, tasty, and much-enjoyed meals. Street vendor selections of farm-fresh offerings of fruits and veggies, were a delight to see during summer and early-fall stays. Their products not only contributed to meals, were often purchased and enjoyed 'in hand' and enjoyed during walkabouts. And before I forget, so were the several tasty 'beavertails' enjoyed, at any time of year, from a bakery there. (previously reviewed) My visits to the Byward Market, and area, were via day time browsing and shopping walkabouts. They were fun, interesting, and much-enjoyed.

This area of the city is a popular destination that you must see for sight seeing in Ottawa…read more There's a lot to see and do down here, and more Restaurants than you can possibly eat at in a month of Sundays! They also host special events down here. Certain streets are pedestrian only, where you will find crafters and fruit/vegetable vendors, people who sell honey and maple syrup, Beavertails, and seasonal items all sold at booths on the streets. This visit, I found a rare treasure: a bracelet with my name on it!! The Byward Market is coming up to a remarkable anniversary: in 2026, it will be 200 years old!! Found this snippet on the internet: "The ByWard Market is where Ottawa was born. Established by Lt-Col. John By in 1826, the ByWard Market is one of Canada's oldest and largest public markets. The legendary builder of the Rideau Canal; Lt-Col. By himself laid out the street plan of the Market, designating George and York Streets to be extra wide to accommodate the horse-drawn carriages that brought foodstuffs to the market every day." We seem to gravitate there at least once a year in the warmer months. It's also a terrific area for people watching!!
