HALLOWEEN FUN AND NOW CHRISTMAS!!!!

Fall has been absolutely stunning here in the south west corner of Alberta.   We did have a sneak preview of winter to come but the days on the most part are balmy  and...halloween night was perfect for the wee ghosts and such. Now.... we look forward to the most beautiful time of year..... the sights...... the sounds..... the aromas.... must be Christmas!!!    Take a ride you will be filled with the beauty of the mountains, the fields and then.... Christmas at Wow and Then.  This time of year offers you
a taste of our Mulled Cider... warmth, spices and aroma....what more could one ask for.  Take a browse and find a treasure or two for home and gifts!!!



How pretty is silver for your Christmas table, or New Years celebration!!!


miniature trees under glass

these would look great on a front door or gate

the treasures of the tiny shed

pretty leaded glass, vintage pitcher and basin

cottage made soap and bath products, have you ever read what is in the store bought products?

Remember these? If you don't you're in denial.
