UNCOMMON FESTIVAL COMING SOON
One of the most anticipated events of the year is back, Fri - Sun, Sept 19 - 21! Step into a world where steampunk meets magic. Gears, gadgets, and enchantments abound at the extraordinary Amherstburg Uncommon Festival.
Dress up in your favourite wizardry or steampunk cosplay costume and join us for a weekend filled with fun. Expect more buskers, live performances, games, vendors, and downtown businesses for some wackier-than-ever fun-filled days. You will want to return every single day so you don’t miss a thing!
HALLOWEEN JELLIES VANISHED LIKE GHOSTS
Friday was our official Jelly Drop for the Halloween collection, and Jellycat fans lined up around the store. Many characters were sold out within 30 minutes! At the time of this writing, we have just four remaining.
We currently have the largest selection of Jellies within Windsor Essex, which also makes us your destination for Jellycat gifts—especially with Christmas coming!
Stay tuned for our next Jelly Drop once the Christmas collection is available. We will announce it here and on social media.
