GARDEN GATE: Episode 307 – No Tax on Puzzles!! (December 6, 2024)

by

Puzzling is a great past time for cold winter days.

We have the most beautiful puzzles that are sometimes hard to keep in stock! We carry a few different lines. Pomegranate, Galison, The Occurrence and Michael Storrings.

When we’re looking for puzzles (and just about any product) for the shop we try first to get Canadian made, then we aim for high quality. These puzzles fit the bill.

The Occurrence line is made in Canada and all the artists who design the art are also Canadian. Even the boxes are Made in Canada!

Pomegranate puzzles are beautiful works of art. The pieces fit together very well and the colours are stunning. With images from artists like VanGogh, The group of seven, William Morris and more, people often glue and frame the work. Or if you like something a bit more vintage or groovy, check out the Rex Ray puzzle.

We get supply regularly so drop in often for your next project puzzle. From Dec. 14th, 2024 to February 15th, 2025 all puzzles are tax free thanks to the Federal government initiative.
