Spring has sprung at The Ridge Shop, and we have lots of new and fun products. Of course we have ESPE and colourful new Concubine and Laurel Burch purses.

There is new fashion jewelry from New York that is flying out of the store. We've added larimar and mystic topaz to our line of stones in beautiful settings, everything from pendants to earrings, bracelets and rings.

There are gingham and seaside aprons with towels and potholders to coordinate.

New pottery by Megan Billings that is bright with a pallette to match any home decor. We discovered a new glass blower from New Brunswick, Curtis Dionne, who does amazing hummingbirds sipping from flowers, unicorn tears, turtles and tortoises, a jar that will knock your socks off.

In the toy department there are lots of science games--run a clock with a potato and build a robot, just to name two--books, Lamaze toys. Soft, lush plush by Douglas Cuddle Toys, everything from tiny mice to raccoons. New this year are teddy bears from Russ. And watch this space for two great lines, coming soon.

If that's not enough, we are heading to Saltscapes Expo on April 30, May 1 and May 2. We'll be there along with The Nelson House Bed and Breakfast, The Town of Stewiacke and The Shubenacadie Wildlife Park. Look for us at the Three Shores pavillion.
