**A Note for Our Visitors**

Tomorrow, June 13th, we will be opening early at 9:00 AM to welcome visitors in the village and provide an opportunity to stop in before the Celebration of Life for Rob Buckland-Nicks.

At 10:30 AM, we will be temporarily closing so that our staff can join family, friends, and community members in celebrating Rob's life and legacy.

We appreciate your understanding as we take this time to honour someone who made such a lasting impact on our community. We look forward to welcoming you before the celebration and again once we reopen afterward.

Thank you for your patience, support, and understanding. ❤️

We couldn’t agree more. Just follow the river to door…

Some places have an atmosphere.

Bear River has an effect.

We made a Venn diagram to explain.

We’re thrilled to welcome the beautiful work of Quiet Cricket Pottery by Melissa Wentzell to The Flight of Fancy. 💚

Based along the South Shore of Nova Scotia, Melissa creates handcrafted pottery that blends coastal inspiration, earthy textures, and functional everyday design. Each piece is thoughtfully made by hand — no two are exactly alike — with glazes and forms inspired by nature, the ocean, and the quiet beauty of daily rituals.

Melissa believes pottery should be both beautiful and useful: pieces meant to be held, used, and loved for years to come. From richly textured mugs to charming ring holders, vases, buttons and earrings, her work carries a warmth and authenticity that makes every item feel personal.

We’re thrilled to now carry a selection of Quiet Cricket Pottery at The Flight of Fancy. Stop in and explore these one-of-a-kind handcrafted ceramics — perfect for gifting or keeping for yourself. ✨

Drop by this long weekend! We’re open Saturday and Sunday from 10am–4pm. Just follow the river to our door…
