Kindred Spirits,

When you come into our online store, I would like to paint a word picture of our Churchill home. Picture an old-fashioned trading post. Wood floors and a heavy-beamed ceiling. Leather goods and furs for sale. If you come at the right time you might even see a trapper selling his furs. Stick candy and smoked arctic char sit near the till. Two large tables covered with red velvet hold an assortment of carvings made from soapstone, antler, or ivory. A smile and a warm greeting is your welcome as you walk in the door.

Here at the Trading Company, Josephine Saunders and Gertie Beardy continue their fine art of sewing slippers and mukluks with their beaded patterns and fur linings. Jessie Wastasticoot and Helen Bussidor are creating beautiful caribou hair tufted arrangements, each with its own spirit from the land. Jessie as well as Lorraine Chapman and Sharon Nepton also create sculptings from caribou hair. Each picture combines unique aboriginal designs with northern flair.

The energy is positive and warm in the craft rooms here at the Trading Company. Fly on the wings of your imagination to Churchill and come on in, browse around. Enjoy!
