'Magpie and Magnolia specializes in handpainted, creatively reimagined home goods. We take secondhand items and repurpose them into stylish statement pieces. You will find pieces that vary greatly in style, from farmhouse to arthouse, but all with attention to detail and quality.

We are a husband and wife team who love working together on this creative adventure. Kim grew up here in Calgary, and Mike is from beautiful western Massachusetts. We collaborate on a lot of our furniture pieces, but you will definitely notice a difference in style. Mike is the talent behind the intricate patterns and designs, while Kim loves to experiment with wood burning and other materials. Some of our inspiration comes from old world mosaics and architecture, mid-century pop art, and tattoo culture.'

"Hi I am Carol from Romancing the Home

I have been collecting Antiques for over 20 years . I have always loved the Romantic side of decorating  Victorian and Edwardian being my favourite eras.  I restyle old vintage bottles jars and containers, I shabby chic anything and like to give a vintage flair to items used in every day living . My roots are from England and I  LOVE rummaging at flea markets antique stores and  meeting people who share my passion. "

VINTAGE WITH FLAIR FAMILY WELCOME - HOME CREATIONS!

"Home Creations by Jessica started out 3 years ago.  After 17 years working as a professional in Human Resources I decided desks and suits were no longer for me…er… unless sanding, painting and revamping the desk!  After all those years in an office who knew I could be so creative and “see” the beauty and potential in both old and new pieces!  My dogs - Zita and Mr. Big keep me on the straight and narrow and you may notice my weakness for bunnies in my decor... and that’s because of my real bunny Caddy. I look forward to meeting you and am honoured when my pieces become part of your home."

VENDOR FAMILY WELCOME - OPUS FIVE ARTISAN WORKS!

KATHLEEN - OPUS FIVE ARTISAN WORKS

opusfiveartisanworks on instagram

 "Years ago, as a newlywed, we refinished furniture because it was cheap!  I remember an old buffet I sanded, primed and painted with ‘enamel’ and it took many months of  work to finish,  but I loved the process of transformation.  After my career in business was finished and I was safely retired, I looked around for another venture to interest me, and the prospects of working with the lovely paint products on the market today were compelling.  I can only hold so many furniture pieces in my little house, so the idea of OpusFive was born.  I chose Opus because it means number in Latin and is used in music, which was my degree.  I chose Five, because over the course of my career, I had four jobs and this venture is my fifth."
