Time to Paint!
As I’m sure we can all relate … Signs of ageing appear slowly. One day we look up and see sagging and cracking where we once didn’t. 🪞
Our dear old building has weathered over the years, and it’s time for a bit of a facelift. Water damage and lifting tape must be addressed. And a fresh coat of paint on the ceiling will do nicely. 🎨
We will tackle this one side at a time, with the SHOP going bravely first. She will be CLOSED from Monday - Friday, April 15-19th inclusive. (The cafe will carry on as usual this week. Holding the shops hand, and checking in beyond the curtain.)
The CAFE will take her turn after. CLOSED for 4 days, April 22-25th inclusive. Getting freshened up for a fabulous Friday with the Clubbing Fraggles.
As always, our online shop ↖️ will be open 24 hours a day, in case you need some late night therapy sessions. And our phones 📞 are close by if you have any questions or concerns for the old gal. (204)725-4181
Thank you for your understanding and hope this won’t disrupt the order of things too much. We will work as quickly as we can! ⚡️

Cafe & Pub
Come and sit a spell in our sunny cafe. Our recommendation for lunch is a lovely piece of quiche with one of our fresh salads. The wine and cheese salad, fresh greens with goat cheese, grapes, pecans and our famous balsamic vinaigrette is a customer favourite. Then, indulge in a delicious slice of New York style cheesecake, while sipping a steaming cup of gourmet tea.
Our cafe sources local food, organic when we can and make all our desserts, scones, dressings & sauces with quality ingredients. We purchase our bread from a local, organic bakery. In season, Stephanie grows a variety of our greens, veggies and flowers, straight from the farm to your table.
Gather the gals and take a moment to enjoy lunch at THE LADY!

Legendary
"Fairy Queen, enchantress of great power,
You rule still in the Mists of the Otherworld
With the Sidhe and your magical sisters
I hear faint splashes from the lake
See white swans majestically floating;
And there you are rising up amid the waters!
Wearing your crown, with swirling wet hair…
You beckon, and post to a small boat
For me to climb in, and journey to Avalon."
- Beth Clare Johnson
(Sidhe in Irish folklore are earthen mounds believed to be home to fairies)
The name Lady of the Lake was inspired by the book, The Mists of Avalon,
by Marion Zimmer Bradley. We love the quote by Marion Zimmer Bradley,
“I have called on the Goddess and found her within myself”.
The Lady of the Lake was a position held by various women throughout history. She educated young women on the Isle of Avalon. It was a time when women were treated with great respect and had influence in society. She has been called enchantress, queen, healer, shapeshifter & goddess.
Alfred Lord Tennyson adapted several stories of the Lady of the Lake in his "Idylls of the King." He said that the Lady of the Lake was the good fairy queen that raised Lancelot, and gave King Arthur his sword, Excalibur, by holding the sword up from the middle of her Lake.
The Lady of the Lake represents the highest order of respect for yourself and
the manner in which you operate within the world around you.
Today we have tried to create an environment for women to gather with their families, to be nourished and to find beautiful things for themselves and their home. With the greatest care we want to inspire you and fill your senses with the wonder of these ancient times & maybe you will see a fairy!
