We have the very best selection of affordable and fashionable purses including clutches and wallets. Our already vast Jewellery collection is also getting even bigger! Check out our new ladies blouses, tops and scarves. Pamper yourself with something ”just for you!”

Next week, I am off to Longmont, Colorado to immerse myself in a ”bootcamp” for retailers. I am looking forward to the many new ideas and interesting ways we will be able to make the WALRUS & the CARPENTER an even better and more exciting place for you to visit.

An important date to add to your Calendar is April 29 -30, this year’s Annual Spring SHOP HOP. Seven locally owned shops will be collaberating to make this a very exciting event in Ponoka. It will be the perfect ”girls day out” trip. Plan it!!

SPRING is coming this month, even though it may not feel like it yet! We promise that a visit to the shop will warm you up and give you some great inspirations while we all wait for the snow to go. Spring brings with it Weddings, Showers, Graduations and Birthdays and we carry the very best selection of treasures in Central Alberta! One of our loyal customers, M. Wiancko has this to say about ”The WALRUS & the CARPENTER” It is always unique and smells great; small town shopping at its best. I can always find a wonderful gift and something for myself”

May your sunny smiles grace our doorway soon!

Marlene and Gang!
